Wednesday, May 15th at 3:00 PM HKT works for me. Lately at F***n I’ve been running into slow demo-approval cycles (sometimes 2,3 weeks) and a fragmented APAC rollout strategy that drags out deal velocity,curious how D***a tackles those pain points.


Hi E***a,
Great,Wednesday, May 15 at 3:00 PM HKT is confirmed. Ahead of our call, here’s a deeper look at the Senior Enterprise Account Manager role at D***a A***s and how we address the challenges you mentioned:

• You’ll own strategic enterprise accounts across APAC, driving new logo acquisition and upsell of our BI platform.
2. Tackling Demo & Rollout Pain Points
• Streamlined Demo Process: We’ve invested in a centralized presales team and templated demo kits that reduce approval cycles to just days, not weeks.
• Unified APAC Rollout: A regional go-to-market pod in Singapore coordinates local teams in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia,ensuring a consistent launch plan and faster decision-making.
3. Collaboration & Resources
• You’ll work closely with marketing, product and customer success to tailor proposals, run joint campaigns and guarantee smooth implementations.

Looking forward to our conversation!

HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain
Thanks J***e,this gives a clear picture. Could you share how the presales and ROI teams integrate into the AE’s day-to-day workflow, and what typical deal sizes or quotas look like for APAC?


Hi E***a,
Great questions,here’s how our presales and ROI teams plug in to help you hit your numbers, plus a snapshot of deal sizes and quotas in APAC:
1. Presales Integration
• Dedicated Pre-Sales Engineer: From day one, you’re paired with a specialist who co-owns your opportunities. They’ll join discovery calls, build technical architectures, tailor PoCs, and run deep-dive demos so you can focus on strategic positioning and stakeholder alignment.
• Weekly Syncs & Ad-hoc Support: You’ll have a standing touchpoint with the presales lead to review pipeline, demo feedback and solution scoping. For urgent requests,new feature walkthroughs or on-the-fly custom data integrations,they’re just an IM away.
2. ROI Team Partnership
• Embedded ROI Consultants: Early in the cycle, the ROI team works with you to gather client KPIs and build a business-case model. They deliver a polished ROI deck (NPS uplift, cost-savings, productivity gains) within days, arming you with hard numbers to drive C-level buy-in.
• Joint Workshops: For larger deals, you’ll run collaborative ROI workshops on-site or virtually, demonstrating real-world impact and accelerating sign-off.
3. Typical Deal Sizes & Quotas
• Average ACV: Mid-market accounts tend to land between USD 150K,250K annually; strategic enterprise wins often range from USD 300K up to USD 1M+.
• Annual Quota: Senior AEs carry roughly USD 1.5M in bookings, broken into quarterly targets of about USD 375K. High performers frequently exceed plan through upsells and expansions.
Let me know if you’d like more color on comp structure or territory carve-outs before our call on Wednesday,happy to dive deeper!
Best,
J***e
Absolutely,could you share a bit more on the comp structure (OTE breakdown, accelerator tiers, new-logo vs expansion splits) and how territories are carved up in APAC (number of named accounts, vertical focus, regional pods)? That’ll help me get a clearer picture before our call.


Hi E***a,
Here’s a high-level breakdown to give you more clarity before we speak:
1. Compensation Structure
• OTE Range: USD 180K,200K for a 1.5 M quota
• Base vs. Variable: Base is ~50,55% of OTE, variable ~45,50%
• New-Logo vs. Expansion: Variable split is roughly 60% new-logo / 40% expansion
• Accelerator Tiers:
, 100,110% attainment → 1.2× commission on over-quota deals
, 110,130% attainment → 1.5×
, 130%+ attainment → 2×
2. Territory Carve-Up in APAC
• Named Accounts per AE: 25,30 strategic enterprise logos
• Vertical Pods: Financial Services, Retail/CPG, Manufacturing/Industrial, and Technology
• Regional Pod Model:
, Singapore hub oversees SEA markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines)
, Hong Kong pod handles Greater China & FinServ
, ANZ pod covers Australia/New Zealand
Each AE works closely with a dedicated pod lead, presales engineer and ROI consultant in their region, ensuring consistent coverage and rapid deal momentum.
Let me know if you’d like any tweaks or deeper detail on a specific region,I’m happy to expand before our call on Wednesday at 3:00 PM HKT.
Looking forward to chatting!
Best,
J***e
Thanks J***e, that’s really helpful. Given my background managing BI deals in Greater China, could you share the ramp plan for new AEs,any quota relief or override in the first 6 months? And if a vertical’s pipeline shifts mid-quarter, how fluid are the account reassignments?


Hi E***a,
Great questions,here’s how we support new AEs during ramp and keep territories balanced mid-quarter:
1. Ramp Plan & Quota Relief
• Q1 Relief: You’ll carry 50% of the full USD 375K quarterly target in your first three months, plus full commission credit on every closed deal.
• Q2 Blend: Quota steps up to 75% of plan in months 4,6, with accelerator tiers kicking in as usual.
• Ongoing Support: We run formal 30/60/90-day reviews with your manager and pod lead to ensure your pipeline, resources and goals are on track.
2. Account Reassignments & Pipeline Fluidity
• Regular Pod Reviews: Every two weeks your regional pod (AE, pod lead, presales & ROI) meets to assess shifts in vertical pipelines.
• Mid-Quarter Tweaks: If one vertical’s quota attainment or pipeline health diverges significantly, we’ll reallocate up to 3,5 named accounts per AE to rebalance workload and opportunity.
• Quick Turnaround: Emergency swaps can be enacted within 48,72 hours,your pod lead and the sales operations team handle the admin so you can focus on deal momentum.
Let me know if you’d like more detail on the review cadence or how we’ve managed this for past hires. Looking forward to diving deeper on Wednesday!
Best,
J***e
Thanks, J***e,this is really helpful. Could you clarify which specific metrics you track in the 30/60/90-day reviews and share a quick example of how a mid-quarter account swap actually played out?


Hi E***a,
Happy to share more color:
1. 30/60/90-Day Review Metrics
• 30-Day: Activity volume (calls/emails per week), number of new qualified opportunities created, account mapping completeness, initial demo bookings.
• 60-Day: Pipeline health (total pipeline value vs. 3× quota), proposal submission count and win-rate, C-level meeting cadence, ROI deck delivery turnaround.
• 90-Day: Forecast accuracy against target, first closed deals (even small pilots), pipeline coverage for the next two quarters, visibility into upsell/expansion opportunities.
2. Mid-Quarter Account Swap Example
In Q3 last year our SEA pod faced a sudden gap in Retail pipeline while our Greater China pod was slightly oversubscribed. We convened a pod review, identified three Retail accounts in HK that matched SEA’s vertical expertise, and reassigned them within 48 hours. The SEA AE ran two joint ROI workshops within ten days, secured two demo approvals, and closed a USD 200K deal by month’s end,bringing both pods back to balanced coverage and keeping overall bookings on track.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you’d like any further details before our call.
Best,
J***e
Thanks, J***e,super clear. Quick follow-up: for the 30-day activity metric, what’s the expected weekly call/email count? And during that SEA,GC swap, how did you manage knowledge transfer to keep momentum without any deal slippage?


Hi E***a,
Great questions , here’s the detail:
1. 30-Day Activity Metric
• We target 60,70 “touches” per week: roughly 30,35 outbound calls paired with 30,35 personalized emails.
• This cadence ensures you’re building pipeline quickly while maintaining enough quality outreach for meaningful conversations.
2. SEA ↔ GC Account Swap Knowledge Transfer
• Joint Handover Session: Outgoing AE runs a 60-minute deep dive on deal history, key contacts, objections and next steps.
• Shared Account Playbook: We document call summaries, stakeholder maps, proposal drafts and agreed-upon milestones in a central folder.
• Kickoff Call Together: Within 48 hours, the incoming AE co-hosts an intro call with the customer to preserve momentum and rapport.
• Pod Lead Syncs: Bi-weekly 15-minute check-ins ensure any emerging issues are caught early and handoff details stay top of mind.
This structured process kept that USD 200K Retail deal on track with zero slippage.
Looking forward to diving into this further on Wednesday at 3:00 PM HKT. Let me know if anything else comes up beforehand!
Best regards,
J***e
