What are your thoughts on companies that don’t pay commission. I’m currently interviewing for a tech HR tech company that doesn’t pay SDR’s commission, yet they expected to bring in 15 qualified meetings a month. Base salary is from 60-75k depending on outbound or inbound. ( manager makes that decision)

Then you miss out on some of the greatest rewards when working in sales: commission from your own efforts

Agreed. Thanks for your input!

Many other companies pay commissions, I would try and find somewhere that does if you want to go down a path to AE.

Thanks for your input. I definitely don’t want to be an AE, especially not at my current company.

Really hard to find motivation to go above and beyond. When those efforts are not rewarded.

The truth is this company is likely looking to underpay. If it's not commission or revenue based comp, it will be some unattainable MBO

Do they pay you any kind of bonus for the number of meetings you've closed in a month/quarter/year?

like

My pleasure.

To my knowledge SDR don’t usually have a salary up to 75 base pay…It’s usually anywhere from 38-57k…so I’d say the commission is added in the salary without the hustle of getting the lead over to receive it.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
