Haven’t been in a quota carrying role in 5 years and am looking to switch back into sales or sales engineering. Been in consulting and product management the last few years. Biggest hurdle will be demonstrating my ability to hit quota. Any advice for jumping this hurdle??

Just curious what it was about the consulting/product dev side that has you wanting to come back to the quota/OTE side?

In short, it’s about the money and being compensated for my performance and value I’m delivering.

Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been a top performer and the strategic programs and initiatives I’ve delivered just in the last two years have saved my company tens of millions. I don’t feel I’m being compensated for the value I’m delivering. Rather than be on the cost cutting side of things, I’d like to be on the revenue generating side of things, so I’m compensated proportionally to my performance. Hope that makes sense.

But I have yet to make any real impact for the company within the first 10 weeks. I feel terrible for taking “commissions that I didn’t earn or show any progress”. Would I be an idiot to talk to my vp and say don’t pay my commission until it’s earned?
