FLEX: The Side Hustle Every Sales Hero Needs!

video cover

For too long, exceptional salespeople have been cornered and limited. CEOs fib about product capabilities, commission plans change arbitrarily (especially after you’ve clinched the biggest deal in company history), and you're tied to one company despite your network and skillset. And when the economy crashes? You're the one taking the hit, slapped with an unfair PIP, and left hanging in the cold.



Over the past year, as interest rates soared and the economy took a nosedive, millions in the sales industry faced sudden layoffs. Bills piled up, pressure on salespeople mounted, and families felt the strain. But that doesn't have to be your story. Not ever again, not anymore.



Introducing: Bravado Flex - your armor in the unpredictable world of sales. A bold new way to recession-proof your income and build your sales side-hustle. Sales is your superpower, and it's time you get treated and paid like the hero you are!



With years of honed skills and powerful relationships, you're unmatched in the industry. Flex transforms that expertise into $$$. Whether you're an entry-level SDR or a seasoned CRO with 30 years under your belt, Flex is your ticket to breaking free.



How Does It Work?

  1. Sign up with Flex and kickstart your sales side-hustle.
  2. Bravado pairs you with top-tier tech companies hungry for your unique expertise.
  3. Earn up to $5,000 monthly while setting your own hours.


Fractional sales is the future of sales. Don't just be a part of the change, be the change. Embrace your superpower and step into the world of Flex - https://bravado.co/flex-rep



ps: if you're already logged into Bravado, the Jobs tab will now show you flex/part-time roles.

Curious, about how has Bravado Flex changed in the past year? Now you are ready to scale it since there are more potential landing spots for a fractional role.

To name a few, we've rebuilt the entire onboarding process making it more seamless for individuals looking to sign up as a Flex rep. Several new Flex roles have been introduced for salespeople now. In the B2B domain, we've partnered with more companies to ensure timely matching for B2C candidates. We've also revamped the b2b onboarding experience (for CROs, VP Sales, recruiters, CEOs).The matching algorithm has significantly improved, thanks to the enriched data points we collect from both potential Flex representatives and prospective employers.

Interesting.. I'll be curious to see some feedback from those that get some work through the program.
It's truly unfortunate that this type of thing is necessary these days.

You can think of it as an extension to Bravado Jobs - specifically for part-time roles and side-hustles

Matthew, some companies have requirements pickier than a cat choosing a nap spot! But hang tight - we're bringing in new companies faster than you can say 'perfect match'.

My experience ranges from AE/Sr.AE, to Senior Sales Management and now most recently responsible for retention on our most strategic accounts as a hybrid CSM. Is there way to add more to the job profile so I don’t get funneled into one identity/experience? There’s more that I can add than the most recent experience.

If a background check were to be performed, wouldn't a side hustle job pop up on the report because it will be on your taxes? I can imagine a company wouldn't like to see side gigs and what not. Anyone experience a problem with this before? Perhaps when changing careers?

@Gasty since we seem to be asked fairly frequently: is there room for international reps within the Flex program? Particularly ones not in NA or the UK? Would love to point people at Flex/this post, if it's relevant.

Thank you! Maybe a thought - any position that would be available remote for broader EMEA, APAC plus Africa and SA could have a flag for the regions they are open to hiring from.

Most Flex roles are US, and Canada-based, but there can be exceptions. I’d personally encourage everyone to signup regardless of where they are based!

Also, is there a separate link for Flex?
