Women in sales have everything they need to succeed. Daily headlines remind us that unconscious bias exists in its most virulent form.

Author: Mike Scher The cold call is not dead, but it is living and breathing differently as social platforms become more important. It’s no longer enough to call a prospect, leave a voicemail and wait. In order to reach, pitch and ultimately close a deal, sales professionals need to be engaging with prospective decision-makers (6.8 per B2B buying decision) across social media platforms.

Why? Kids are great at asking why? They accept the fact they don’t know very much, so they just move through life, like an information sponge asking why about everything. It’s kinda liberating if you think about it, if you accept that you don’t know anything. If you’re OK with the fact that you don’t know, then asking why is the natural thing to do.

You don’t get paid until you sell something. No one else takes that kind of risk in corporate America.
