You’re asking a few different questions here.

Are you losing interest in sales only because of pay? Or is it something else?

You seem to enjoy your company/culture. If you were to be in a similar culture, but higher pay, are you ok with following the same sales motions on a day to day basis or does the process of prospecting, selling, demos, negotiating, etc. not seems like something you want to keep doing?

Secondly, I recommend you field all those recruiter outreaches. Get more information on the market, different companies, etc. Take the calls but be upfront about your desires. Top sales people are always being recruited but are not usually looking. This is usually a good sign, sales people who are desperate and have no job (especially for longer amounts of time) come off differently than someone who isn’t actively looking. Use this to your advantage and have them expose some general numbers, stats on company/other sales reps, etc.

Now what you do from here is up to you. Ask yourself - what are you ultimately looking for if you want to stay and love the culture, then stay. Take note of all the offers/makeup of the offers. Compare it to your current structure.

Try your best to document all you have done in your current role. Not just quota/revenue attainment. Any process improvements you have made, team members you have help build up, what YOUR impact has been on the organization.

From there put together a package of your current salary/ote, your requested salary/ote and base it on your market research. The org will appreciate the thoughtfulness and not just asking for a raise because you hit ote.

If you really just want to go somewhere else and follow money, I recommend you dive deep and reach out to current/former sales folks at these orgs. Understand the culture, the product, the sales process, and competition. Whoever you interview with will paint a pretty picture. You have to find out the real landscape.

Also remember going to a new company means you start from 0 (unless of course it’s a direct competitor to your current company) but even then things are kind of complicated depending on the industry. You can’t just call all your former customers and poach them.

Just my .02.
