Shit’s been hitting the fan, and salespeople are paying the price.

Companies that have been mismanaged and/or are getting hit extra hard by the twists of this market are now laying off thousands of top-performing sales reps.

We’re saying hellllll no to sitting back and watching this happen to our fam.

So here’s how it’s gonna go down.

If you or a buddy got laid off, sign up here - we’ll match you with great companies still hiring through the downturn. You can also write a testimonial for someone who was laid off - it'll go right on their job app for employers to see.

If your company is still hiring, sign up here to start recruiting on Bravado. We won’t charge you a penny to hire any sales pro that was affected by this wave of layoffs until June 15.

Help us help you help a friend and help you….we’ll send you and your friend $1k EACH if the person you refer lands a job through Bravado.

Time to show ‘em what we’re really made of. #StandWithSales

I have had my dealings with marketing and it was just a ton of smoke and mirrors. I still don't think they understood my target market after 10 months.

No amount of marketing can help a company reach maximum sales. Consumers remain resistant and sceptical until they speak to another human being.

Marketing can do the best they can and only get laid off unless it's a mass group decision

This, is truly what makes a community such as Bravado stand out ! Kudos Corp and Team - the gesture is insanely awesome and hope it helps a lot of folks to get back on track!

Once people start getting through, I'd wait for a Typical Corp video on Layoff stunt

Most of these layoffs could have been so easily avoided.

Remember the names of the companies and individuals doing the laying off and stay away from them the next time we see a big push to grow sales teams.

This is great! For me this is especially meaningful because American Express just completed a massive restructure / reorganization on Monday and there was some serious talent let go. I and many others are looking to get re-placed with another top company ASAP.

It never made sense to me to lay off the people bringing in the revenue.

We see all these sales people getting laid off by companies, this pretty much highlights just how unimportant many people view the job.

Maybe this is the kick a lot of people need to start using their skills for a role that will be seen as valuable?

Post-sales roles and many pre-sales roles aren't being let go, but direct sellers, trainers, etc. are being given the boot without question.

I don't know who needs to hear this but here goes:

"It's going to be fine."

SaaS is still growing even if valuations and easy money are gone. Great companies will survive this. Great people will thrive. Tough times never last but tough people do (Dr. Robert Schuller wrote a whole book on this).

"We'll be okay"

The best reps are never fired, it's usually the newer guys. But I agree with the other posts, they should start with Marketing.

Sr. Business Development Manager

I respectfully disagree. The top performer of my company was let go...reasons? None needed (at will employment).Top rep in the company 3 years in a row, awards, accolades, the whole nine yards. Last year her end-of-year bonus was $150k (we're close friends, that's why I know). I was second in the company, but I resigned due to the toxic culture. regarding marketing, if they truly understand their role FOR sales, and executing accordingly, they shouldn't be more people than needed. usually that is a reflection on Admin; they inflate the numbers and hire accordingly.
