We're a small team of 4 AE's and I'm by far the most experienced with the company and there's a few junior AE's my CEO wants me to help out on deals with. The thing is, our average deal size especially for SMB is around 15k-50k and the deal flow is low, so having 3% really isn't worth it to me.
He asked me about what it would take % wise to have me help out with them, as we don't have a director of sales. I have about 5 years of AE experience and don't feel i'm fully ready for a director of sales role and have been crushing it as an AE so I don't want to divert time away from my deals, but also feel like it's a chance for me to ask for a promotion. Curious if anyone's been in a similar situation, what title i could ask for, increase in base etc.
My initial thinking is to ask for 5% of all deals closed from the junior AE, an increase in base or new title but not sure what i really want.
