I received a job offer with a probationary period that requires targets are met to obtain the full salary I requested. While this is not a pure sales role, biz dev and revenue are part of the responsibility of managing a 30pp department in this role.

One target requires I increase team revenue by 20% in 6 months. They haven't shared current revenue info yet, but 20% on ANY number seems really high, especially in the first 6 months.

What are some reasonable revenue increase goals you've had?

Go on LinkedIn and ask people in the role currently if they would recommend it to a friend

I feel like I should clarify after rereading my original post - there is still a base salary, but this target (along with others) needs to be met to trigger a salary increase after 6 months.
