New platform represents the future of sales by offering more than $10 million in opportunities to sales professionals hobbled by the pandemic
Bravado, the online community for sales professionals, launched “Warm Intros,” the first marketplace of its kind for sales professionals to transform their networks of trusted contacts into a new opportunistic revenue stream. Bravado has already identified more than $10,000,000 in potential income-generating opportunities that are available right now on the platform.

Sales professionals have been massively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report by Peak Sales Recruiting, the number of closed business-to-business (B2B) deals has plummeted by nearly 40% since the pandemic hit North America. Along with hospitality and food preparation, sales professionals have been one of the most impacted professions, according to recent studies.

“It’s harder than ever to work in sales,” said Bravado CEO Sahil Mansuri. “Tighter budgets, massive layoffs, and automation are all making the lives of sales professionals extremely difficult. Warm Intros empowers sales professionals to build upon, take advantage of, and monetize the trusted customer relationships they’ve created and nurtured, for years, in many cases, – and, to help fill those customers’ needs.”
Bravado is also the most transparent, streamlined way for sales pros to generate an income. Traditional sales requires enormous effort from professional reps, but returns only a small percentage of actual purchase prices to them. And that only happens if they meet their sales targets. In 2017, long before the current pandemic, Salesforce predicted that nearly 60% of its reps would miss their quotas. Bravado offers a compelling adjunct and alternative, at a time when it’s needed most.
