Bravado Flex?

Just got an email from Bravado talking about the new Bravado Flex. In a nutshell it looks like a way to freelance as a salesperson for other companies in your spare time.


I'm excited about this idea since it'll allow us to leverage existing relationships to make new sales, but I'm not sure about this. Instead of learning some new product, wouldn't you just put in more hours selling if you wanted to make extra money? I know lots of AEs are in a position to make more, but usually prefer having free time. What do you guys think?

I will have to look into this more before I make a decision. I didn't get that email.

If that is the case then according to the Wonka precedent of 1971 I have a 1/5 chance of taking over ownership of Bravado!

Some of us may be limited by our company's ability to deliver on closed business, not necessarily just by our sales skills or time put in.

Yeah, my acceptance letter at my current spot says I would need to have any secondary jobs approved. It could affect my performance, and I doubt they would want me spending "free time" prospecting for other companies and not them.

That kind of language is pretty standard. What you do on your off-time is 100% none of their business as long as it does not breach any non-compete.

Hi friends - you would only have received this email if you were marked as an active candidate who matches one of our current Flex employers.

Don't be offended if you didn't get it... you'll be part of our general launch of this program in 2-3 weeks. <3

We're still in beta with this idea, aren't 100% sure how we're going to proceed yet. The general idea is: most employers have stopped hiring salespeople. There are lots of sellers on the market trying to make ends meet.

How can we help them? Trying to help our community, even with out of the box ideas!

I got one and it sounds pretty sweet. My question would be is this a 1099 situation then?

Sign me up! Any chance to sell more while enterprise software slows down over the next year sounds good.
