Bravado is a terrible system for applicants, especially for any non-sales specific roles. You MUST enter sales information to continue making a profile, if you are not applying to a sales position and have never done sales you cannot continue with your application, they only show you roles that THEY think you are qualified for, you cannot apply to roles that YOU want to apply to, and they ask for personal information like current salary and sales deals that might fall under NDA. I would give this a 0/5 if possible.

Not sure who to talk to at work about a particular scenario? Want to make sure your not the insane one? Need to practice a pitch? Nail a job interview? Find helpful resources and perspectives? There’s a lot of talk today about having a “third place”. That spot you can go to, embrace like minded individuals, and learn from others experiences. Bravado has provided that for me. Anonymous, servant leaders hoping to encourage and empower others has been my experience. To the negative reviews, I can’t speak on as my experience has been different but if you are looking for support, sales minded professionals who collectively have seen a thing or two, it’s a good spot to connect.

I have found Bravado very useful. It is a place where I can get new ideas and information about sales. I can also share my own insights. I like the features they are adding and I look forward to the changes in the future. It is a useful and fun platform. I plan to use it to get other jobs and improve my sales skills.

So you need to create an account with Bravado if you want to "apply" to the job you found online that they are advertising. Annoying, but not uncommon. However, in order to create a Bravado account, they require access to ALL of your Google contacts. Why on earth would you need that level of access to my information, just to create an account? If you choose to actually do this, you're then asked to upload your resume. Once that is uploaded, they require you go through your work history, role by role, and provide the name of the specific client, the specific stakeholder, and what specific product you sold them, and when. They try and play it up like potential employers find specific examples of success appealing in their candidate evaluations, blah, blah, blah. I'm sure there isn't a bunch of slimey sales "professionals" at Bravado NOT poaching my professional contacts or sales history information for their own personal lead gen activities. Sure, this is probably all legal, but this company is trash, and all they are after is your sales contacts.

Borderline scummy practices, but on the wrong side of the line. Subscribe to get weird offers by email, be part of a rotten “Wolf of Wall Street”-mindset community, get invited to cult-like events, be asked to share private info from your company for fantasy rewards, when the whole website is a copy of Reddit’s /r/sales.

Bravado is like the Hotel California, you can check in any time you like but you can never leave. There is no way to delete your account online and their terms say that you have to give them 14 days written notice to delete your account. Unacceptable. What are they afraid of?

Took a little while to find my voice in the community but after commenting on a few posts and publishing some myself, I learned that the community is full of Sales pros looking to share their hard-earned wisdom. Tons of jokes abound, but I would have expected nothing less from this audience, and am so grateful to have found a place to talk shop and learn all about how to raise my Sales game. This isn't your regular professional development community – and that's a good thing.

Alright! I was waiting until I spent some time on Bravado to really get the lay of the land, observe and then contribute. I am very impressed with the site especially the knowledge gained when communicating with other members. Need sales advice about a specific situation? Ask. Boss being a challenge? Get input. Wondering about an industry? Yep ask and you shall receive. The input is incredibly valuable and I’ve personally used plenty of the input from individuals and resources available on the site in my professional career and progression. The site has rules so follow them and people engage! 5 stars hands down. I’ve referred a colleague and they are obsessed with the content as well. See you on bravado!
