In some places i've worked it most certainly would be, others not so much. I don't know if we have that level of information in this case however.

My background has been in hosting/cloud and I've run and worked within sales teams and its generally been:

Selling $5 dollar a month shared hosting accounts and 50 dollar dedies? Yeah, you should probably have something by the end of your first month after ramp.

Selling 50k+ a month cloud infrastructure and engineering services solutions? You get at LEAST one dud quarter to find your feet after ramp, if due to nothing else other than its a significantly longer lifecycle.
