The challenge for you in recruiting great reps is how to adopt this comp plan to convince great sales reps they can make "M6" money on a $6k ARR.
Depending on the actual sales process for your product, you might be better hiring what looks more like a "Customer Success" manager. In this case, they are measured on a mix of customer sat, churn and add-on growth in accounts. Typically, not on quota, any commission they receive as part of the up-sell would be net-positive to their OTE (on-target earnings).
Happy to discuss further with you to provide more context-specific advice.
