War Room
What is the Bravado War Room?
The War Room is a community designed exclusively for sales professionals. It is a place to network, have honest discussions about the profession, and serves as a career tracker for anyone who carries a quota.
What is commission and how do I earn (or lose) it?
Commission is the War Room's currency. It is earned through platform engagement & achievements.
Commission is a measurement of your positive contributions inside the War Room. You can spend your Commission on rewards like gift cards, swag, and much more! While you may spend your Commission, we still keep a running total of Lifetime Commission earned so that other users can see just how much of an impact you've made on the community.
How do I earn commission?
The primary way to earn Commission is by posting thought-provoking questions and useful answers. Engaging with posts causes you to gain (or sometimes lose) Commission.
Here are a few ways to begin earning (or losing) commission:
Post a thread
Receive an upvote on your thread or comment
Receive a comment on your thread
Complete your onboarding checklist
Downvotes:
Downvoted threads CANNOT go below 0.
Downvoted comments CAN go below 0 infinitely.
Your total Commission can't go below 0 and you can't lose Commission you've spent.
How do I spend commission?
When you've earned enough Commission it can be spent on various rewards. From gift cards to swag! You'll find all the options listed in the Commission Exchange which can be accessed by clicking on the Commission Icon next to your username on the top-bar menu.
How do I post a thread or comment?
To post a thread, navigate to the "Create a Post" button at the top right of the War Room forum. Write a clear concise title and choose the topic that best aligns with your post. When sharing an article or long form content, we recommend using the more important takeaway as the title.
To post a comment on a thread simply click the title of the post. Inside the post itself you can reply to the post itself, or directly to other comments.
What is anonymous posting?
We allow anonymous posting in case someone has a question that could de-anonymize themselves or their company. For example, if your friends know your username and you have a question about quitting your job, you might not want people to know you’re thinking about leaving. We allow this option so that people can ask hard questions without their identity being bound to it.
How does the reward system and leaderboard work?
No purchase necessary. A purchase or payment of any kind will not increase your chances of winning.
Here are two ways to earn rewards. The first is by earning Commission and exchanging it inside our Commission Exchange. Rewards inside the Commission Exchange are subject to change, but not on a scheduled basis.
The second way to earn rewards is by winning a Commission Leaderboard Contest. Each week, Bravado will announce new rewards for top finishers and the Leaderboard will reset for the following week (starting Monday).
