Are you ready to #EmbraceEquity?

Salespeople often get shortchanged when it comes to equity compensation. This rings even truer for women, who, according to the latest WSJ report, get 15-30% lower equity grants than their male counterparts for the exact same roles.


Bravado is determined to turn the tables on this issue.


For this year’s International Women’s Day, Bravado is taking the theme of #EmbraceEquity literally. We’re hosting a panel discussion and will explore how to ensure fair compensation for female-identifying sales leaders and ICs and how to work towards creating a more equitable future for all employees.


We’re hosting three powerhouse panelists: Maggie Hott, Director of Sales at Webflow; Alexa Graebell, CEO of Pocus; and Jordan Kong, Investor/Founder at Atomic. Join us via Zoom on March 8 at 12 PM PT.



So, don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from the best in the business. Add the event to your calendar by clicking the link below!


Let's join hands and #EmbraceEquity to create a more just and equitable future for every salesperson, regardless of gender.

https://bravado.co/iwd IWD landing page According to the latest report in the WSJ, women get 15-30% lower equity grants than their male peers for the exact same roles. This adds to the well-known disparity in cash based compensation that has been documented for decades. This year, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day by helping female-identifying sellers beat those odds. We’re hosting a panel of leaders to discuss equal salary, equity, and benefits for all employees.

Oh bam, from the topic I thought it’s the Bravado equity that was being discussed a few days back. I am sure this will be a value add as well :)

I negotiated my grant higher. Sales is sales, and you should always negotiate.

Honestly, being in sales I'm looking for a different type of equity.

I'll be honest here (thank you anonymity) - whenever I see gender pay gap/equity events it makes me think that its just a ploy to help poor negotiators. Seriously.

If I can negotiate better than someone else, why does it mater what gender I am? Heck, if I can sell myself better than others can can sell themselves - I deserve more $$. What's wrong with that?

BTW - the gender pay issue has been debunked many times. I get kinda sick of hearing about. Written by a woman: https://www.forbes.com/sites/karlynborysenko/2020/03/31/great-news-ladies-the-gender-pay-gap-is-a-myth/?sh=79673e023b34

Very glad to hear this as a female professional. That said, I came across this little nugget in my social media feed today… and yes, I realize this is not related to the sales profession … but it is a reflection of the issues women have had to deal with since the beginning of time!
