Expecting an offer, which I’m excited for but after the interview I realized that this division is 98% start up. The title is Sales Associate however the responsibilities beyond selling are: build the sales program; responsibility for all admin; education of staff including developing and conducting training regionally; creating marketing and promotion campaigns; reporting and measurement of staff performance involved in sales. No direct reports. What is an appropriate title and salary range?

This is a sales manager not sales associate. Unsure of the industry so not really sure what the salary range should be. Being a start up, there will be lots of grounds to ask for a bonus or increase that is performance based going forward.

Thank you for the reply! I should clarify that it’s an established company overseas that is expanding to the US market, so not true start up but this particular division is in the beginning stages of development. I would also be reporting to the Vp of this particular dept and President of the US division, with the reporting structure and responsibilities It appeared to lean towards associate director. The field is medical equipment.

Be certain to get clear directions on your 1,2,3 priorities and how you are measured (KPIs). Startups pull you in many different directions so remember to make “closing sales” that #1 priority.

Rcvd offer tonight and it’s 6000 LESS than I am currently making as a BDR/ inside sales! They know what my salary was before commission and came in that low. Plus I lose my 401k match that equals about 5000 a year. I’ll politely counter but the recruiter had said they probably will, at most go 4000 over current salary.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that.
