Women Sales Pros

Women in tech are often asked irrelevant or biased questions about their gender rather than their expertise. At the #ToastSummit, however, the script was flipped and executive-level men in tech were asked the same types of irrelevant questions that women frequently face. The goal is to highlight the stark differences in how men and women are treated in professional settings, using humour to shed light on a serious issue. Moderator Ada Slivinski asked a slew of questions of Tate Hackert, Derek Armstrong, Kevin Kliman and Court Ellingson, including: • Tell me about your experience working in tech as a man • What’s it like raising money as a founder, with your unique perspective as a man? • You’re young and probably thinking about starting a family, so how will that impact your role? • How will you tell investors about balancing being home baking sourdough while also building your little business? The Toast panel wrapped with the speakers offering an honest reflection of the privilege they have, how uncomfortable it feels to be asked questions that have nothing to do with experience and their work, and what it’s like to be different from everyone else in the room.

It's time to close the gap! The U.S. is trailing behind in pay transparency, leading to persistent disparities, especially for women. However, awareness is growing, and women are stepping up to negotiate for fair compensation. 🤝 Flexibility shouldn't come at the cost of fair pay. The pandemic showed us that remote work is viable, yet biases remain. It's clear that we need to push for systemic change to ensure transparency, fairness, and flexibility in every workplace. Let's stay determined and committed to this cause. --- 🌟Advocate for pay transparency and equitable work arrangements. Your voice matters, and together, we can make a significant difference. 🔗 Spread the word and support change by sharing this post! --- #PayTransparency #EqualPay #WomenInSales

The Power of She 💪 The 2024 Paris Olympics is special for a few reasons. It was in the city of light that women first competed in the #Olympics in 1900. And it’s in the French capital this summer where women and men athletes are represented in the competitions equally, for the first time ever! Not to mention, it's the first time the Games have offered support for #breastfeeding athletes and for Olympian parents with the first-ever nursery in the Athletes Village. This is huge. When women first entered the games, they made up just 2.2% of participants. So you better believe we’re celebrating that 50% 124 years later! Not only that, but women only competed in five sports then—now, any game must hold space for both men and women to compete. In partnership with Athleta's Power of She, The Female Quotient is celebrating these momentous milestones, gathering with women leaders at the forefront of change and sparking conversation around equality from the field to the boardroom.  #athletapartner Ilona Aman (Formerly Stepanyants)

Want to see a donation of $1500 get made to The Trevor Project from the #samsales crew today? Here's how you can help simply by liking or reposting this post. As we considered spending some marketing budget to a sponsored newsletter or ad, we instead thought... ...why don't we ask for this community's help in marketing one of our top offerings, and give the money to an amazing cause that can do good in the world rather than spending that money with a corporation. ******************************************************************************* The marketing message we wanted to get out: If your teams are struggling with: 📧 Open, reply, meeting booking rates ✂ Understanding how to cut through the noise of an executive's inbox to earn a meeting 💡 Figuring out the "so what" value prop of what your solutions do for each buyer persona 🖋 Understanding how to write great sequences 🤓 Learning how to handle objections, ask for referrals, multithread, or use simple 101 email hacks ...then our Show Me You Know Me Masterclass series can help you address any or all of the above. ******************************************************************************* We'll add $1 per like + $5 for each repost (without your thoughts), up to $1500, that we get by 5pmET today, and donate to The Trevor Project before COB. If you get our newsletter or have seen our charity work these past few years, you'll know that this organization, which provides suicide prevention support for LGBTQ+ youths, is one we've long supported and cheer for loudly. And if this post gets us to our donation goal, we'll do it again this week with another charity. #samsales #SMYKM
