What is the difference between Mid Market and Commercial at Zendesk?

Former Employee · Accepted Answer

Size of the target company… mid market is 1k-5k employees and commercial is 250-1k… sales expectations are pretty much the same…. It’s a transactional marketplace

Former Employee · Answer

Mid Market covers companies with 1k-5k headcount and has a slightly higher pay scale. Commercial is 200-1000 headcount. 
Zendesk doesn’t work well for mid market so the role is a revolving door of coaching plans, pips, and making no money. Commercial is slightly more stable provided the territory.

Commercial sells to 250-999 employee orgs
Mid Market sells to 1000-4999 employee orgs

Current Employee · Answer

Mid-Market doesn't exist anymore, it's been merged with Enterprise

Current Employee · Answer

The sales segments are differentiated by employee count at the business you’re selling into. Commercial is approx 1k-5k employees and Mid Market is 5-10k. Opp size can vary due to size of the teams at these orgs since it’s dependent on their employee service and CX teams respectively

Former Employee · Answer

I have been gone for a few years and not sure, given the new leadership after going private, how the company delineates various teams anymore.

Former Employee · Answer

So every company may divide them differently when it comes to size but think of it this way:
SMB (small medium business) 5-10 million 
Commercial: 10m - 50m ( could go up to 100m)
Mid Market Enterprise (think of this as enterprise Jr usually 100m - 1b
Enterprise  - 1b and up

Anyone can correct me

Former Employee · Answer

There is no difference. The terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same business segment (under $1B).
