Is this with the recruiter? Is this for the BA role?

For tips, remember to be structured when answering follow up questions. Find insightful questions to ask the interviewer. Make sure you have a little bit of small talk at the beginning to break the ice. And let your personality show through your voice inflections since it’s not a video call. All the best

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
