By the Salespeople, For the Salespeople <> War Room Commission Store

One of the most unsettling experiences for any salesperson is when choices directly impacting their paycheck are imposed without their input.


Yes, we're referring to those unpredictable, unwelcome alterations in your commission. It’s frustrating. It’s uncalled for. And it’s exactly why we're flipping the script.


Our mission? To redefine commission.


The War Room believes in recognizing our sales superheroes with the commission they've rightfully earned and deserve. Not simply what someone else deems fit.


Last year, we entirely revamped our commission store, adding MacBooks, Fossil watches, and books while retiring old stock.


By Feb, we introduced PlayStations, Jabra headsets, and Nespresso machines. Recently, we brought back War Room favorites, including Yeti Mugs, Sales Hats, and hoodies.


Now, the time has come again for you to seize control and transform your ideal commission store into a reality!



  • What items would you like to see introduced to the commission store?
  • What would you prefer us to phase out?
  • Which items should remain constants?


Your Commission. Your Voice. Your Choice.



Onward,

@Gasty



====


PS: Max 30 items can be accommodated in the commission store. And before anyone says “Gift Cards”, they’re already there (you just need to win the weekly leaderboard :)

Don't take the switch! I am like 30 commission points away lol. I would say rotations of books and some of the smaller non-war room related stuff is always good. Monitor and webcams are also great ideas, always thought about getting a webcam but never pulled the trigger

7000+ commish holder here.

Nice 55-65in tv would be desirable. Maybe a performance watch like garmin or Fitbit like.

Quality camera, something in the $500-800 range.

I support this sentiment entirely. 8K TV in the 60 zone would be very appealing.

Said this a couple times, Tumi luggage would be epic, carry on specifically. I guess would be in the PS5 to Standing Desk commish level.

Other nice option would be Global Knife set.

I would drop the PS5, Fossil Watch and the American Tourister luggage.

Deff keep anything Yeti and the Traeger

Boom! I'm not so sure about the Rolex anymore, but how about expanding to an Xbox, and maybe adding a tv?

Also, I was thinking a good quality webcam, from Logitech for example, could be a great addition to make sure we look our crispy best.

On the webcam subject. The Apple Studio display might be a really nice high-end solution. You get yourself a badass monitor with a built in webcam that follows you around the room when you move. #my2cents

Didn't one of our savages write one? I think it's on Amazon only, though, but it would be cool to support one of our own.

And I try to read for pleasure once the workday is through, so I'll be likely to recommend mystery series based in the UK, or CJ Box, Dana Stabenow, William Kent Krueger, or something non-sales related. :) Maybe I'm not the best source.

@Gasty"Eat Their Lunch" is a good one and the sales books by Gitomer are easy reads.
Something like "Good to Great" is a good addition (actually anything by Jim Collins is worth reading).

It’s a few degrees separated but the Storybrand book is really helpful in learning how to communicate using stories. It’s not the 1:1 classic sales lit we usually see, but I found it helpful.

Thanks for asking - secured Pebble a while back. In order to finish, I need to book a night at the resort so the fabulous Bravado team can book the tee time. Without that reservation, you can’t book Pebble more than a couple days out, which is tricky. That said, should be sending Mr Bunny to the dream course soon!

Likes:
Books (but should revolve monthly)
Clothes
Rolex (you gotta aspire to something)
Actually, most of the commission store is nice.

My 2cents - rotate 2-3 <5k commish items monthly or every other month to keep it fresh. Keep anything over 10k around longer.

Please keep the USB mic, Nespresso Machine and PS5 in the store. Not too concerned with anything else.

I would love to see a bigass 72 inch… nahhh make it a 72 foot TV. Much more plausible achievement than the Rolex… but still takes serious commitment

Edit: Keep the Rolex. It’s inspiring. Just replace it with one that has a date. Pebble Beach could go.

Don't get me wrong it's an awesome experience. Compared to other things there is a cost of getting there. Whereas everything else can just show up at my front door.

If you were to say that the package included air & hotel for 2 that would be a different story.

I said it a while ago. Unless 80% of the people from here are on West coast, which I highly doubt it. Pebble Beach needs to go. Replace it with something that isn't location specific.

Hey @Gasty I got a bit of FOMO the new suggested items items by our team, and since I decided to go for PS5 earlier but just concerned that it might be taken off at the next update since I'm almost there to it.Any kinda guarantees to keep the PS5 at the next run to see what else available to compare with before eventually making my mind. 😇😅

War Room without Commission?

If the War Room ends commission all together I would:
46% Still visit all the time, it’s more than gift cards to me
15% Stop coming all together. Like in sales, I’m here for the money!
39% I would still visit, but much left often and would put in less effort
