These are indicative numbers. What you finally pay moves with the rest of what you expect from the role, your brand pull in the market, and how much demand there is for this profile right now. Treat the band as the starting point of the conversation, not the answer to it.

The line for your CFO

Everything above is yours to use. The line below is the one you paste into the mail asking for the budget. Tell us where to send it.

We will not pass your details on. If this band looks off against what you are seeing in the market, we would like to hear about it.

How these bands are built. Base bands come from Sales & Profit placement and offer data, cross-checked against public sources, calibrated September 2026. Each band is then moved by years of sales experience, what the person actually runs, what you sell, deal size, company type and city. Scope is applied against the scope each band already assumes, so a manager band is not paid for its team twice.

Quota-to-OTE multiples are what reps we have placed in each band were actually carrying. They are reported, not prescribed. Your own coverage model can move them.

All of this is indicative. What the person finally costs varies with the rest of the expectations you put on the role, your own brand pull as an employer, and how much demand there is for that profile in the market on the day you hire.

If a number here does not match what you are seeing in the market, do let us know and we can discuss on the same.
