Members closed 2232 deals with $8,240,783,367- Real or BS

It says War room members closed deals 2,232 of them for over $8b in sales, but that is an average of $~3.6M per sale. The last 2 wins posted were 4.4k, and $500

Is this number total bullshit?

BS or Real

In the beginning it was encouraged to post big wins in your career before Bravado. So many changes without explanation or communication happened, and many stopped using the win wire. Who knows ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Yeah. PBC raised this a while back. This is a known issue. Some members had posted garbage million dollar deals in the win wire a couple of years back which never got removed. Havenโ€™t been able to prioritise the fix for this since weโ€™ve been laser-focused on the Flex launch. Having said that, this is sth weโ€™d fix for sure to have better data in the system.

I have a lot of wins that I put up to get the badge and to keep track of my progress quarter by quarter since the beginning of my career. II don't remember people posting deal wins or maybe I wasn't really reading them. And was using this platform differently. My lifetime revenue is 2.1M but a lot of them are private. It feels weird posting old deals too. If other savages use it like this it would explain the number

I don't know if its BS or not, but it does seem to be in the gray area of things.

Kinda like most resumes and LI profiles.

Agreed. Like $3.6m is my whole year not average deal size

Well, I've closed about $300 in MRR this month and I never made a post about it. So that figure is missing at least a few thousand dollars of my deals from this year.

Not one of my deals is posted, so I'm evidently contributing $0. It's amazing I still have a job, to be honest.

I think that about 50% of them are BS, not sure if anyone is really verifying the authenticity though.

Probably hard to verify. And why even post one? Is there commish for it?

It counts as a post and I think you get 8 commish points for it and then all the upvotes and people chiming in saying congrats.. I know because I have posted in the win wire when it's legit but I doubt some of the 5 mil deals you see in there.

I think its more because closed a lot of deals but I only post those that at least have a certain difficulty that i overcame...or were challenging so i can talk about it and people could learn. If they have nothing to learn then its just a nice story.

There might be a few people who work in GovCon, those deals take forever but are crazy large. Also resellers - whose company makes 3% on a $2M server deal. Lots of different products come into play that have bigger number and easier effort.

My shit is real but I remember the days when people would post โ€œlarge government contractsโ€ for millions and close like one a week lol

Yeah, I was surprised by the large number myself. I just use this now as a way of documenting all my wins- instead of relying on CRM from the company, it is a good way to know historically who you have closed.
