I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M. This is inline for my company but low when I speak with others for Enterprise rep openings. Any thoughts on recommendations for steps to bridge that gap?

Tell a fib. Honestly, there is no way to check someone’s actual numbers at another company. As long as you believe you can actually do the next job, why not

I think you’re confused or just don’t know how to follow a thread. I’m advocating for OP to lie. Then I responded to AE1 and let him know that if you try and verify someone’s performance metrics as a “one off” you are opening yourself up to the possibility of a major lawsuit. Smh

Inflating the numbers is probably fine, but make sure the rest of your story lines up. Bigger deals often require higher levels of approval. Most interviewers are going to be much more interested in your sales process/story telling than the numbers anyway.

I agree with the others. Lie. These days, background checks are basically limited to verifying whether you worked for a company and maybe your title. No HR dept is going to release their sales numbers for the benefit of the company hiring you. I’m sure you’ve closed a few key deals larger than 75k. Focus on those and you should be fine.
