No KPI's either.
empty promise at an old company i used to work at

Would you stay in a sales role if they don't offer commission?
37
Sounds like customer service role
Is that even sales? You just got paid base to sit at your desk all day? Sounds like marketing.
boom! well said... I'm trying to bring people across from this organization to my new gig!
people are scared of change

If there aren't any KPIs, maybe. It would have to be an insanely high base though
Monday.com does this for their sales roles. Idk the commission and being able to hit accelerators fuels me a lot of times so I’m probably a no
Are those roles compensated similarly to OTE of a comparable product/company? Highly doubt it, but would be interesting to see the delta.
Their Salary is usually 120 and up depending on the role they are hiring you for and I believe they are willing to give you a bonus as well. Not sure in terms of comparable as I don't sell in their space nor have I but I'm not a fan of it.
No way!
Absolutely not
There’s no incentive based on performance there so no haha
Nah son, no commish means "sales" might as well be an online store
Isn’t this just marketing?
Yeah, that doesn't sound like sales - I'm happy to go for team/ company targets if that's the way the bonusses are aligned, but no way am i doing sales at a company for no variable income
Um. That's a no from me dawg.
thanks all for the comments, i agree with all of you.
no
I agree with the “isn’t that marketing” position 😂
Thats definitely not a sales job.
We better be talking a PHAT base for me to consider this
Are they paying me the equivalent of my OTE as a salary? Then HELLLLL YES. If not, then I'm skating like Gretzky.
Depends. Do they still pay you full OTE? If so, could be interesting to focus on truly helping customers vs chasing dollars.
although tbh the chase is a big part of the fun 🤷🏽♂️

Only if the base was CRAZY and I could get away with not working that hard hahaha
but even then - some equity needs to be thrown your way
I had an old college buddy who fell into a role like this. Was given a $100k base with no commission at a start up. If he was able to bring in X amount of dollars for the company, than he would get performance bonuses based on what was sold. Their focus was on building relationships rather than being transactional.
A recruiter once messaged me on Linkedin for a sales role with a company that paid a flat base of $200k/year with no commission. It didn't make any sense to me. I don't get what the point of it would be
i bet they tried to sell you "how good the company culture is"
Not for me, BUT, if I had some equity in the company and I truly LOVED the company and product/service... maybe... maybe!
Nope. Where’s the motivation?
would be more motivated to get a new job
If bonus structure and salary is sufficient, sure.
Hahaha ha, no way. They'd have to pay above pay scale to make it worth it. The point of sales is to make money
Sure if they want to pay double the market rate for a base salary
I´m not exactly in that kind of situation, but my commission is capped and it´s low.
I´m here now because of some personal reasons and a nice growth opportunity in the near future. Possibly even getting out if sales because of that opportunity

how long have you been in sales?
More or less 4years now.
cool so what sort of opportunity you looking at?
if you dont mind me asking

We have different business units with different products. The MD of one of our units will retire pretty soon and I’m next in line.
It small but career wise it could be a good step. Running a software business of 20 people as a +\- 30yo
that does some like a big step up!
good luck :)
good luck :)
Well a lot can happen in the meantime. But it s the reason why I stay.

Oh hell noOooOO
Oh hell noOooOO
Eh pay me 120k+ base and I’d be cool with it. Would make for a better deal when using PTO, family leave; and make budgeting a hell of a lot easier
Nope, unless they quadruple the salary!
