Anyone ever heard of a Founding BDR role with no variable pay? Just base?

Yes - first role in SaaS/sales. Didnโ€™t realize it was extremely unorthodox until a bit after

Don't leave until you have something better lined up. But, for the good of your own wallet you should start looking elsewhere.

Agreed. Lesson learned. Don't be too hard on yourself. Shame on them for taking advantage of you.

Yeah happens but pretty rare though,would be anyone's last option for sure particularly for the unemployed!!

Iโ€™m just not sure how effective a non-money motivated BDR would perform

Agree, that's why most of them are just taking it as a temporary job and a step to either have a fair commish structure later or a better opportunity somewhere else!

That is only for a management role, where you are building the process and then will get a team under you to do the actual BDR work. At which point, you will be getting variable comp. Otherwise, the role is BS and for those that are bad or desperate.

I applied for a role like this and I'm so happy I didn't get it. The comp is the whole point of sales and without it, you're just an ordertaker working an email job imo

Yes and unless that base is on par with the OTE you should expect from the market you are in you say "thanks but fuck no" to any offer

Have you ever made more in base salary than someone else on your team but you were both responsible for the same quota?
