Move up-market: target a senior enterprise AE seat with $1M+ quota at a category-leading SaaS vendor inside the next 24 months — the brand-name logo on the resume plus the quota tier is what compounds toward the top-decile rep anchor.
Hit and publish three consecutive 120%+ attainment years with named (anonymized-OK) deal sizes on a personal site or LinkedIn; consistent over-attainment is the only public artifact sales recruiters actually weight.
Build a vertical specialty (fintech, healthcare, or industrial SaaS) rather than staying horizontal — specialists command 20–30% higher comp and survive downturns because their pipeline doesn't reset when they change companies.
