Strategic Context

THE STRATEGIC VIEW

SALES IS NOT AN ART; IT IS AN ASSEMBLY LINE

Most founders treat sales like a magic trick. They wait for "good vibes" and "alignment."

The Conflict: You are chasing everyone who shows interest. You are busy but not profitable.

The Truth: If you don't know your conversion rates at every stage, you aren't selling—you're gambling.

The Fix: You must build a machine that converts strangers into capital with industrial precision.

Operational Reality

THE OTE TRAP

Most SDR offers look like "$80k OTE". That usually means $50k Base + $30k Commission.

But Commission is not guaranteed. It is conditional on hitting Quota.

Use this calculator to reverse-engineer your "Real Hourly Rate" if you only hit 50% of quota vs 100% of quota.

THE ACCELERATOR REALITY

Elite SDRs don't make money on base. They make money on "Accelerators".

Typically, once you pass 100% quota, your commission rate doubles.

The difference between hitting 99% and 110% quota is often a 30% difference in total take-home pay.

Tactical FAQ

TACTICAL Q&A

Q: My Base is $50k. Is that good?
A: In Tier 1 Tech cities (SF/NY), $60k is standard. In remote/EU, $45-50k is standard. Never accept a low base for a "high potential OTE" unless the product is already viral.
Q: Recoverable vs Non-Recoverable Draw?
A: ALWAYS ask this. A "Recoverable Draw" is a loan. If you don't hit quota, you owe the company money next month. Non-recoverable is a guaranteed safety net. Avoid recoverable draws at all costs.
Q: How much commission per meeting booked?
A: Typical range is $100-$200 per qualified meeting. Elite SaaS companies pay $150-$300 for ICP meetings. If you're getting <$100/meeting, you're underpaid. Negotiate or leave.
