The company has a great product-market fit and is a top player in the martech industry. Historically, top sales reps had the freedom to focus on closing deals rather than rigid KPIs. In 2025, the approach has shifted to constant micromanagement, mandatory leadership on sales calls, and excessive meetings. Senior reps now spend valuable time in pointless management meetings and discussions hyper-focused on stalled deals that are unlikely to close. Instead of strategizing on high-value opportunities, reps are bogged down by unnecessary oversight and distractions that do little to drive revenue.

Dear Sender, We encourage you to share these examples with your VP and/or CSO. As the business evolves from selling a core SEO product to a full end-to-end digital marketing platform, changes in deal strategy and execution are necessary. These shifts drove 100x YoY growth in 2024 and will be essential to crushing those records in 2025. Best regards, The Semrush Team

This company is ia mess, CRO, VP of Sales, Managers of Sales are all delusional & so inexperienced.

Comp plan was re-worked. Quotas up 15%+ across the board. Lack of tooling necessary to manage volume of interactions required. Great product, good people, not ideal selling environment. New targets were hit by less than 15% of org historically.

Dear Sender, While our compensation plans were updated in 2024 to align with new products, pricing adjustments, and overall growth goals, the claim that only 15% of AEs hit the plan is inaccurate. In 2024, over 60% of our sales team achieved quota, and 21 team members qualified for President’s Club, representing 16% of our sales org. Additionally, our sales organization grew 100% YoY, making it the fastest-growing team at Semrush. This was also demonstrated during our analyst day presentation and recent earnings call. Best regards, The Semrush Team

Semrush leadership no longer values internal knowledge and has shifted focus to trying to hire "perfect" reps externally vs developing the desired sales skills internally. Most new rep and leadership hires have worked with the new leadership at previous companies putting internal reps at a disadvantage. Leadership is very disorganized and does not deliver important...Read More

Dear Sender, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We truly value internal growth and make it a priority to recognize and reward top-performing sales reps. At the same time, hiring external talent is a natural and important part of building a diverse, high-performing team. When it comes to communication, we strive to share updates openly and on time, and we’re continuously working to improve in this area. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your HR partner–we believe that together, we can always find a good solution! Best regards, The Semrush Team
