But the math got tougher as we moved to $400k-$600k quotas, and it got tougher again as OTE expectations went up. So things got a bit broken with SaaS sales exec comp in the run-up up until 2020 … and then it got really broken in the crazy times of late 2020 and 2021. Close a million, make $200k. Close two million, make $400k.

So quotas are relatively well understood, if sometimes complicated to get right in practice. And how many hit quota? While different data sources report different numbers, the companies themselves in the Keybanc Sapphire data report 80% hitting quota attainment.

Corners were cut in the boom times of 2021, but we are back to sane sales models. Renewals, if they are done by sales, are paid out at about 40% of an initial commission.

Of paying your sales team well, of not capping sales commissions, of putting customer success on a variable plan, and of the power of second order revenue. And this is where things got a bit corrupted in late 2020 and 2021. With about 10% of your quota in base salary, and 10% in bonus, that would yield a 5x ratio of comp:bookings.

— Jason BeKind Lemkin (@jasonlk) February 16, 2021. Impossible quotas. You want at least half, ideally 60%-70% of your reps, hitting quota. But you have to make sure good, well-trained reps can hit quota and be paid fairly. Have an actions quota, too. Even if the sales rep gets their commission.
