I can see why you’d need software to calculate comp, if your comp system is so complex!

As a case study in simplicity: our sales people get 1xMRR for each deal closed, or 2xMRR if the deal signs an annual contract. SDRs get a flat amount for each demo sat (doesn’t have to close, but does have to be accepted by the AE). The amount is equivalent to 0.75xMRR for a typical customer.

That’s really all you need in SaaS. This has scaled from less than 1M ARR through to… more than 100x bigger than when it started.

Helpful, thanks.

Plus I assume they get some sort of middle of the road base salary? How low is that if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah exactly. Can’t share exact numbers but it depends on city anyway.
