Episode 199 – Women In Sales: A Work In Progress

Episode Overview

Gina and Susanna are back, fresh off their appearance at Outbound 2022! They are taking some inspiration from their main stage talk and bringing you another segment of Women In Sales. The conversation is about a “work in progress.” This applies to so many parts of life and career, because let’s be honest, who has it all figured out?

They recount some of the comments and conversations they had at Outbound from women who were experiencing challenges trying to fit in, or not fitting in, to the boy’s club. Gina talks about a dynamic speaker that was inspirational and strong and spoke her truth, and who will also be an upcoming guest on the show. They discuss different methods to employ to make yourself feel more empowered, the struggle that leaders can face, where does empowerment begin, ideas on communicating with team members to motivate and avoid burnout, time-management and blocking, refuting negative thoughts, has covid actually hampered our exposure to diversity, and are you bolshie?

More About Susanna

After graduating from Cambridge University in Music and Education, Susanna took her first sales role selling advertising space on websites.

She’s always been intrigued by the unfair negative stigma associated with sales and the way that after their initial excitement to work in sales, people will do everything they can to avoid actual prospecting.

With 14 years of experience in recruitment, Susanna challenges this mindset through her successful business sourcing sales professionals into recruitment roles.

Susanna decided to become a Sales Gravy Master Trainer because Sales Gravy’s vision matches her own beliefs and values.

She is committed to providing excellence and dedication to all of her trainees so that they can achieve their goals and succeed in sales.
