Assuming the base is strong, they’ll want a percentage of year one AGI. 5% for example. They can also negotiate a sliding scale so that they get an increase or a bonus for certain revenue targets. They might also build in a bonus for getting the agency into pitches. This helps soften the blow if the agency doesn’t win.

There's no set structure as it depends on the company, industry, goals, etc. If it were me, I'd probably hear them out and see what they brought to the table, then let them know I'd think about it, do some more in-depth research and THEN negotiate (if necessary).

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

Let’s say your original TC in your current is 300k, but because of stock appreciation, your actual TC now is 500k (same base, same bonus, but stock appreciated). When negotiating with new company, will the new company consider your TC as 500k, or 300k? Thanks
