Hey guys,
ISR who's really a BDR and an ISR because my company keeps saying they're going to backfill the team and don't. Sore subject.
Anyways, my company is trying to compensate us based on:
1) Meetings - only count if the company is actually buying(doesn't matter if it's the right decision maker and at a target account, has to move to the next steps). They also only count if the deal is above $15k in revenue, anything below and we don't get paid.
I've given good opps to shitty AEs and not gotten comp'd on them because the AE couldn't move things forward or didn't prep for the call. As a result, if I don't trust the AE who the opp is going to I'll take the meeting and just keep it to myself unless it moves forward.
2) Quality pipeline produced - meaning it progresses through the discovery phase and into design.
3) Pipeline closed.
To clarify - majority of my commission is based on hitting pipeline numbers & closed/won numbers on a quarterly basis, not how many quality meetings I set.
We sell cloud which can mean a million different things. The biggest opps require revamping a company's infrastructure which is a long ass sales cycle.
I fought my manager on this today when he presented it to us. I'm mostly fighting comp based on closed/won because that's not my job.
SDRs - how are you compensated? Trying to figure out if I'm being a diva or if this is absurd
