What do you think a first time sales manager should be paid in OTE?

Sales Manager OTE

Based on the expansive information you provided above on Product, Market, Annual Rev, Territory Size and Historical Output I would say: $420.69/yr
There's a 20-40% chance this is true
I'd say a 69/31 split of base to OTE most likely
I am should question do you know what the internet works is for you please and your business will help
Terrlit clogged. Need telefon halpppppp
Yeah, not sure what you're saying here. But thanks for.....something?
Huh?
Hello yea I am use this to help with you regarding questions
I think I'm all set.
Please note this regarding the text. Hello yes I am use this to help you
Yo @IzzyWinning OTE is heavily dependent on a myriad of factors from COGS and CAC to burn and runway. We can’t give you a specific answer, but a 70/30 base/variable split is a good starting point. Some orgs adjust for higher upside to incentivize you to drive more deals in the pipe.
Great insight @poweredbycaffeine
Well, I'd say about three fiddy and $420 as a signing bonus. $69 a month for WFH expenses. Definitely hit your boss up for a 20-40% raise after three weeks on the job.
hi I am details in organization must have answer. Hello? uhm hi. I am answer need of details in receiving of feedback for value is good. please reply.
translation: give us details
100% equity, no guaranteed salary, equity/options distributed are based on performance of the team, and free coffee of course.
Before the great sales department realignment of 2022, i was on track for about $125k OTE managing an Inside sales team. basically just had a quarterly bonus structure that was 50% team performance, 50% company performance. it was NOT my ideal setup!!!
I think managers should get a higher base, plus team performance bonus. You should also negotiate a one time bonus for every time a rep of yours gets promoted. But this was all Pre Series A compensation.
It should be around $150-250k in my opinion

Field team saas sales $400k 50/50 split
Mostly just meant to be a conversation, folks. But all of this snark is fine too. This wasn't meant for me specifically.
Lol.... Let me halp.
Your question is very simplistic in nature, yet you provide no detail as to what you are looking for. A Sales Manager in SaaS will be paid and compensated DRAMATICALLY different than a Sales Manager selling Med Devices or Dildos. Also, is this a local/regional/national/enterprise/SMB/Fortune50 sales role?
You see the point? (Hence the snark)
Help us help YOU, and you will see reduced snark (cannot commit to a zero snark policy)

@RealPatrickBateman I understood the snark immediately. I was merely posing this as a question to the community, encouraging the various responses that I'd get. I'm not asking for me. So there is no more detail to provide. But I appreciate your zeal, brother.
Understood. Plenty of zeal to go around.
@RealPatrickBateman But since we're on the topic. Let's use this as an example: SaaS sales manager responsible for all North American reps (8 account executives ranging from SMB to Enterprise) in a Series B startup with deal sizes ranging from $10k-$500k ARR.
Start a new post with the information you just provided. This post has been properly torpedoed.
Done.
A taco bell 10 pack weekly, with about $3,000 in a few rolls of 20 dollar bills.
I'm getting a 70/30 split with a 100K OTE uncapped. Pre-series A. We're still building the company out (roughly 175 employees now) and expanding into new international territories. Currently managing 5 AEs. We're more of a professional services firm that's looking to adopt a Saas model now that we have a sellable product so we're moving in that direction. Would love to see what others think if this is reasonable at this stage
$1-$1,000,000
You guys are all really on your game with the comments today.
How big is your team? I think you should net 15-25% your salary per quarter… depending on comp plan. OTE for the year should be somewhere near 80-100+% your base.
