START, STOP, CONTINUE [Commission Store Upgrade: JFM'23]

Who's had enough of being bounced around by those wacky commission changes at the office?

How many of you are tired of those decisions being made behind your back?

Where do you go find a kingdom where salespeople rule and commissions reign supreme?

Re-Re-Re-Introducing... BRAVADO WAR ROOM!

Where salespeople are the stars and everyone else is just background noise.

Our mission?

To build the ultimate hub for salespeople to network, learn, sharpen their skills, and make more bank. But we're not just stopping there, oh no.

We believe in giving the real MVPs of this joint - the salespeople - the commission they deserve, not just what the boss man thinks is best.

How, you ask?

By crafting a Commission Store made BY salespeople, FOR salespeople.

Last December, we unleashed our first upgrade, adding fresh loot like MacBooks, Fossil watches, and books, while retiring some old gear. The response was overwhelmingly positive!

Now, we're gearing up for another quarter and want to hear from our sales warriors.

We've got 24 slots, so let your voice be heard.

What do you want to see in the commission store, what do you want to see go, and what do you want to keep?

...

PS: We're still exploring options for bringing back some of the popular merchandise and working towards finding a solution for international shipping outside of the US and Canada. In the meantime, let's focus on what we can add.

1. I stand pretty firm on getting rid of the "Wine Tasting with Sahil". It is pointless to have in the C-Store.

2. Maybe upgrade the switch to include one game of choice or have that option anyway.

3. Instead of "dinner for two at French Laundry" Make it a generic date night package ($$XX value)

4.Let's remove the geographic specific things and make it open to the people of the War Room.

As a person who actually lives close to Napa/Sonoma....I agree.
Though maybe it could be a choice of experience based on location: somewhere great in Chicago, or NYC, or Miami, for example?

Date night! I think this would be a great way to substitute this spot especially as more people join.

Because its on every Wedding Registry I have ever seen, a kitchen aide might be something.
Cold Brew Coffee Maker?
Nice Luggage?
And this is a longshot, but Gift cards?

I like the books, because those are such a nice low ticket cost.

The only one I am a stop on is theOlive & Cocoa Lamb & Blankie Baby Gift. But I am not the target market on that one

Thanks @braintank.We were thinking of upgrading the Switch to OLED model. Which would increase the commish points for it a tad bit as well, FYI.

PUT THE FOSSIL WATCH BACK TO 2K! Jk I know that dream is over 😪
On a more serious note, I feel that there is a lack of options in the range of 1 to 3k points. In fact, there is currently only 4 options. Meanwhile, there are 7 options for 10k+ points. And let's be honest, only a couple of folks will get in that 10k+ points range so to me there should be more attainable options.

Good point! feel free to suggest some items. If more people are of the same opinion, we can add.

For sure, how do you qualify what makes an item worth between that range (1-3k)? So I know what I should suggest.
Nice, how will we know if other people share the same opinion? A poll maybe?

@Nairobi: This is what this post is for basically. To see which items are suggested by which members, and how many other members are also interested in seeing similar items. We'll also put up an additional poll if required.

Feel free to suggest some items though, between 1-3k.

Keep: Nintendo Switch, iPad, AirPods - and if I'm the only one trying to get the Pebble Beach golf round, I understand if it goes, but I'll probably cry if I'm not quite there.
Add: Shark/Roomba - guys, I got this in the holiday sale, and it's a game changer. Really worth it! Would love all of my savage colleagues to have the opportunity to get this.

Price disparity. Nintendo switch is 3 hundo and Ipad 9th gen is two fiddy. How is the ipad more than the switch here? I would say its similar in a couple other items that should swap price points. Otherwise no suggestions the commish store is solid as shit

Thanks 4 bringing this on the table @Gastysince it has been a popular request for most of us.
To me I would like see I-Phones and more Electronics.
Keep the Laptop and the Traeger for having the highest demand on em I bet.
And you can take the Submariner off for being massively overrated.
