The structure is 50% base salary, 50% performance-based variable. The variable is tied to a quota designed around genuine market penetration.
During the first 12 months, targets are split between outbound activity and revenue. This creates space to master the product, build pipeline and perform outside of chasing a revenue target.
In 2025, 80% of EMEA and LATAM Field Sales reps with more than 12 months in the role achieved 85%+ of their OTE, which shows that success is driven by commitment and skill development.
Ideals has been profitable and bootstrapped since 2008. No external investors or VC-driven targets. The company has delivered 30%+ YoY revenue growth over the past 5 years and is intentionally scaling towards a unicorn status by 2029.

The German M&A market runs thousands of transactions, fundraising processes, and due diligence activities every year.
So far, our Inside Sales team has been covering inbound leads only. Our Field Sales team is relatively new, so the addressable market in key deal hubs – Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin – is significant.
