Do a little LinkedIn homework to find something that you have in common. I do this before I meet with executives and it helps to get the conversation going in the right direction. BTW - I stole this idea of Connect -> Convince -> Collaborate from the book "Insight Selling".

Just stay calm and talk about work stuff, ask them about their goals and share your goals.

Hi there, I got an offer for an early stage cyber security saas startup in Canada and they offered me 130k base and 10-15% commissions which they estimated at 160-240k additional a year. They only have 1 sales person at the moment and I would be 2nd and they are hiring for 3 more. I’ve always been on a 50:50 model and never done the % of revenue. Average deal size is 40k. I got 12 yoe in enterprise tech sales. No stock options upfront but potentially after the first 3 months. Good deal?
