Session: What does it mean to be a Woman in Sales?
According to a LinkedIn report 2021, women represent 39% of the workforce in sales – and only 21% of Vice Presidents in Sales are female.The State of Women in Sales report shows that the sales industry has the second largest gender equity gap in America.
Why aren’t more women in sales?
Aside from being a demanding career, sales professionals are up against a lot of biases accusations such as being “manipulative,” “pushy,” and “dishonest.” Women are often preconceived as being too emotional for a sales career.
I am about to share my own journey towards a fulfilling career in Sales for a software company where I enjoy flexibility in time and location that allows me be present at home with the little daughter as well as embracing opportunities that come with travelling.
