re: Revenue Recap [2023: The Year of Sales Freelancers]

In 2021-2022, companies were trading like hotcakes at over 100X ARR. Fast-forward to 2023, and things are looking bleak.

The projected multiples are now just over 10X ARR (Read: A significant drop in valuation).

This makes it tougher than nails for companies to secure funding this year, so they're forced to reduce expenses and stretch their funds like a piece of chewing gum.

Sales teams are already up against the ropes trying to meet their targets, and the situation seems challenging.

Many companies plan to cut spending on new products, which is like throwing a wrench in the sales team's machine.

But wait, there’s a silver lining here!

Companies are finding some crazy and efficient ways to grow their revenue. For one, they're hiring Fractional CROs to help boost their sales game.

And have you heard about the 100% commission sales reps? Those bad boys are crushing it!

This year may go down in history as the year of Sales Freelancers.

These hustlers sell for multiple companies, making bank, and keeping expenses low; helping these companies stay afloat until the economy stabilizes.

So, in case you still haven't, now's the perfect time to explore Bravado Flex to find your freelance side hustle today!

Its pretty hard to work for more than 1 company. You tend to gravitate toward 1 and neglect the other(s).

And I have seen Fractional CROs before - they tend to work off the CRM and nothing else - management by numbers. Very methodical. Not the type of person most of us would choose to work for.

It would be great learn of some of the success stories on Bravado Flex. I know @SADNESSLieutenantdid it for a month or two, but would be great to learn how people keep a good balance while working with two separate companies.

I know a few but they aren’t active in the war room right now. Maybe I try and get them here.

I'm a fractional CRO (apparently, just thought I was selling crap for randos on the internet). But can confirm - what a wild ride. Way more money to be made her than people realize and no boss to look over your shoulder. Just sink or swim on performance
