Key insight: Higher ACV typically means higher revenue per rep, but longer sales cycles and more complex deals. The "revenue per rep" metric must be evaluated alongside sales cycle length and required support resources.

The "Revenue Per Rep" Quota Trap

Don't set quotas based solely on benchmarks. A Seed-stage company setting $700K quotas because "that's the median" will demoralize their team and miss targets.

Context matters: Your product maturity, brand recognition, competitive landscape, and sales support infrastructure all affect what's achievable.

Better approach: Start with historical data, adjust for growth plans, and increase quotas gradually as you prove out your sales motion.
