Hey Savages - I recently joined an early stage company as the Sr Director of Sales tasked with building out a sales org. I have 3 AEs and 6 SDRs. Ive been assigned a quota that is much higher than the rollup of my AEs. My quota is $150k higher than the rollup of my three AEs. Im being told by my CEO that this is common practice, although Ive never heard anything like this. If anything i would expect my quota to be the same or slightly lower than the rollup of my direct reports . (although never worked at this early of a company before). Can anyone confirm or deny this is standard practice for this stage of a company?
Should a VP/Dir of Sales at an early stage company (less than $2M in ARR) carry a higher quota than the rollup of his team?
