I’m an SE who works 2 AE’s, and from looking at the market am on the bottom end of the pay scale. The company I work for has many different products/services (80+), so they wanted SEs to take on a local “SME” role in a specific area, to support other members of the team.

This role has ramped up quite a bit recently, and people have been coming to me for help with their deals (overviews, demos, POCs) which is increasing my workload.

How would you approach asking for more money here? Thanks!

Just know that most companies won't pay you more, and you'll have to go elsewhere for more money. That being said, you sound like you are worth more money, so don't be afraid to enter the market.

Document all of these additional contributions, achievements, outcomes and impact, along with written feedback from those you’ve worked with. Organize it into a one-pager, be specific about your ask, and send it to your boss. Ask to discuss it in a week. This will give them time to consider your request. From my experience, managers don’t like being put on the spot with requests for more pay.

Could use some help designing a commission scheme, what would you sharks do in my situation??? I’d like to do some sort of group scheme, not an individual contributor scheme.

Situation:
just replaced a 35yr lifer and now boss tells me to create a business plan and comp scheme. Now there’s me and my trainee who’s rather green. It would be my responsibility to train him up. With 2 effective sales people last year we did ~7M @ 50% margin avg contract value of $25k (record setting year).
