When it comes to compensation, did you know it's one of the most important parts of your job post? 

Using a large range such as "$30,000 - $100,000" can actually decrease your apply rate as it often leaves applicants wondering if they will end up at the high or low end of it. 

We recommend using a realistic upside earning potential for someone's first year, for example "$100,000+ at plan, commission" in order to attract the talent you are looking for. The “at plan” commission amount is the potential to be earned by meeting a sales quota; it's not a guarantee of salary. This lays the foundation that they have work to do to reach that compensation.
