I work in sales at a VC backed startup. Consider total comp, my structure is 50% base 50% bonus. However quota has been hard to hit this year for the whole team so it's very lean. Ask what % of team is hitting quota this year.
How much support you need (and get) to close deals is important. If very technical solution then a really good solutions engineering / sales support role is really important.
Also.what is the market like? And also what is company YoY sales growth? ~40%+ YOY growth is very good and could be considered "high growth". Unless it's a brand new company and then they may have crazy numbers like 200% and hard to tell if sustainable.
Good luck!
Thank you, this is extremely helpful!
I interviewed with a startup recently and passed. It can be a great opportunity, but they often don’t have set quotas, or any tools or processes in place to help you. If you’re really set, it could be an awesome adventure. But I personally wanted a more stable sales job.
Hi, I have started a business as an independent agent. The only expense I had to spend is just a one time lifetime membership with my brokerage company which took care of my virtual office, website, and excellent support and training, my license, and my E&O. COMPANY has been in business since 1848, with a financial strength rating of AAA with Moodys, AM Best, and S&P 500 so they are a solvent company that delivers. For 2020 alone NLG has paid over 50 million dollars in claims because of COVID and our brokerage company increased sales over 40% even during the pandemic. Our brokerage company is the #1 broker for NLG. Our PRODUCT is unlike and other, it’s robust and has solutions for every challenges we face in life, not just death. So far as an agent it has allowed me to work remotely from home, become a part of a teams supporting each other, work part time and still got paid what I was getting working full time. A certified field trainer was assigned to help me every step of the way, and with the training available it constantly give us tools and strategies to execute our goals and be successful.
