Leaderboard 2.0 Turns One ๐ŸŽ‚

Guess what? Leaderboard 2.0 just hit its first major milestone - a year since its grand unveiling. If you're scratching your head trying to piece together the why, when, and how of it all, buckle up. Iโ€™ll make you dive into the saga that reshaped the war room battleground.

The Genesis

Once upon a time, the War Room was infested with spammers. It was more like the wild west than the elite group we are now. Our problem? Groups using fake accounts to shout empty praises and steal rewards, lowering the quality of our community. It was obvious we needed a change, not just a new leaderboard but a complete overhaul. That's when we removed gift-cards from the commission store and Introduced Leaderboard 2.0, aiming to reward genuine quality, engagement, and excellence in the war room.

A Year On

The Victory Lap One year later, and what's the score? The new leaderboard has not only cut down the ranks of commission thieves, but has also elevated the discourse to levels that would make the sales gods proud. The War Room isn't just surviving; it's thriving, with savages old and new, wielding the power of quality content as their weapon of choice.

Rising Stars (now Savages)

In the renewed arena of Leaderboard 2.0, a select few emerged not just as winners of the โ€œNew War Room Userโ€ category, but as legends in their own right.

  • ๏ปฟ@BTQ๏ปฟ : This then-SDR (now-ex-SDR) emerged with game-changing insights and set a new standard for meaningful sales pipeline content with their week 5 win, proving the power of impactful knowledge in the lead-gen space.
  • ๏ปฟ@HVACexpert๏ปฟ : With unparalleled expertise in their field, they enriched the War Room with practical knowledge about what the Non-SaaS / Non-tech sales world looks like. Their win in week 7 underscored the importance of specialized insight in the war room.
  • ๏ปฟ@RandyLahey๏ปฟ : From being axed to seeking wisdom from the War Room gurus, to smashing quotas in a fresh gig with three weeks to spareโ€”this legend turned their fiery phoenix story into our front-row show. Burnt, fallen, but soaring from the ashes right before our eyes.
  • ๏ปฟ@Revenue_Rambo๏ปฟ o : Is there any salesperson who's ever vibed with revops? None in the War Room, until Rambo burst in and pitched a tale we never thought we'd buyโ€”the VALUE that revops can bring! Hats off to Rambo, now we know what to expect from our revops squads!
  • ๏ปฟ@pirate๏ปฟ : From the shores of the Emerald Isle, sailing into the leaderboard with the spirit of Irish sales pirates, their triumph in week 26 was a testament to their mastery in capturing the essence of sales. With the agility and acumen of seasoned seafarers, they're now a captain of their fate.
  • ๏ปฟ@DirtyMoney๏ปฟ: Breaking into the leaderboard recently, they challenged conventional wisdom and sparked fresh dialogue, showing that innovation always has a place in our community.

As we celebrate a year of Leaderboard 2.0, it's time to shine a spotlight on the titans whose names have become synonymous with excellence, perseverance, and sales mastery in the war room. These champions didn't just climb the leaderboard; they redefined what it means to be a leader in the War Room.

  • ๏ปฟ@oldcloser๏ปฟ : The Undisputed Champion. With 26 wins under their belt, oldcloser has not just led; they've set a new benchmark for what it means to excel in the War Room.

  • ๏ปฟ@Sunbunny31๏ปฟ: The Maven of Quality. Dominating with 17 total wins, Sunbunny has become the embodiment of high-caliber content in WR. With 11 wins in the Top Quality category, she has proven time and again that the pen is mightier than the sword, crafting posts and comments that not only engage but enlighten, earning her a place in the War Room's hall of fame.
  • ๏ปฟ@poweredbycaffeine๏ปฟ : Bursting back into the war room post a break we donโ€™t know the reasons for, winning both Top Quality and Top Commission in the same week, PoweredByCaffeine set off on an unbeatable streak, amassing a total of 10 wins. Their return was a game-changer, reminding us all of the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines the very best among us.
  • ๏ปฟ@CuriousFox๏ปฟ: The Equalizer. With 10 wins to their name, CuriousFox has stood toe-to-toe with the best, showcasing a versatility and commitment that spans across categories.

Captain of my own fate! I shall quote Invictus by William Ernest Henley

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.



Love the community, love all the savages and love Gasty and the whole Bravado team for everything you do to make this place amazing.
