Red flags that end the screen early

Work through the cases in "Red flags that end the screen early", pairing each signal with the move that fits.

Step 1 of 2

Why Cursor, why now

Tie it to the AI-coding shift, not ‘I love hypergrowth’

Name a specific product behavior you have a view on

Comp & territory fit

Know the segment and named-account model

Be honest about base/variable expectations early

Quota headline

One line: carried $X, attained Y%, sourced Z%

Multi-year consistency beats one big year

Product proof

You actually installed and used Cursor

A point of view on Tab, agents or codebase context

Red flags that end the screen early

Numbers you can't state precisely. A track record that's inbound-dependent (‘marketing fed me leads’). And zero product curiosity - if you've never opened Cursor, you've signaled you'd sell it the same way you sell anything, which is the opposite of what this role needs.
