I'm CEO of a small startup who has 1 sales rep, currently making 85k base, 170k OTE.
She's now going to become a manager and have 3 reps underneath her (and more in the future). I'm thinking to raise her base to $130k, $260k OTE. My thinking is that she will still get involved in the largest deals and make comission on those, but also get a smaller comission for her team's quota. She also has stock options.
She's never been a sales manager before, but has people management experience. Trust her to do an awesome job. She's not located in a major city.
Any advice / words of wisdom?
