Commission Rates

Very recently, I've been talking with company's regarding an AE role. The thing that stood out to me about these roles is that they are 100% inbound. From what I've seen the more outbound prospecting required the higher the commission rate. In your experience what's a reasonable commission % for a role that is 100% inbound?

Not a lot of experience but I´ll give my 2cents.

I was an AE that did in and out bound leads + managing some clients.

commission started out at 10%. Everything above my quota increased the % with the max % being 20%. No cap on commission.

Deals were between 50-120k.

@GDO so it seems like the SaaS norm for ARR structured deals is 10-15%. I was interested to see if that drops to like 5 or 8% for fully inbound.

I'd be skeptical of anyone claiming 100% inbound...

always have to be skeptical when getting pitched a sales role. No way two salespeople are talking about sales and someones not getting BS'd

if your company never gets acquired and never IPOs then your equity is worthless, unless they tender offer (where the company will buy your shares for a price, usually above your strike)
