❓QUICK QUESTION: What can you learn from two of the most important leaders in the #WomenInSales community? Tons. #iwd2024 🙋🏼♂️ And I'm asking because on today's #salesgamechangerspodcast , on #InternationalWomensDay ( #InternationWomensDay2024), they generously share what companies can do to help their women leaders grow, which will lead to revenue success and growth. When we started holding in-person programs at the Institute for Excellence in Sales (IES), we wanted to bring more women to the IES Big Stage. Everyone said we needed to meet Lori Richardson. She introduced us to amazing speakers who have graced our in-person and virtual stages including Amy Franko, Brynne Tillman, Jill Konrath, Colleen Stanley, CEO, Kendra Lee, Nancy Bleeke Noël, MBA, Anita Nielsen, and Lauren Bailey. Gina Stracuzzi has developed the IES Women in Sales Leadership (WISL) Forums. The two Forums, for women taking the next steps in their leaderships careers, have changed lives and helped companies grow.

Just say, “We haven’t heard from you. What are your thoughts?” Then ask individually, “How are we doing with women in sales here? What’s missing?” Don’t assume that because you have a number of women on your team that you’re all set, because there may be things that you could do and improve on." GINA’S ADVICE: “Investing in the professional development of all your employees is critical. Companies may say, “We have a lot of internal resources.” When you ask them, “Well, how many people actually avail themselves at those? Is it a safe space if it’s live? Do they feel like they can talk about what’s of concern to them, or their fears, or their career aspirations? Usually the answer is no." ❓If you know of any women in sales looking to develop their careers, could you introduce them to Lori and Gina? #Sales #AI #Aiforbusiness #womeninbusiness

Did you know that in 2022, over half of the businesses started in the US were started by women, and yet, only 1.9% of all venture capital was invested in women-led businesses. (Inc.) We are masters at making our own way. As the need for strong feminine leadership grows, we can no longer afford to focus solely on our own contribution. Strong women leaders who are committed to shifting consciousness and shifting circumstances–for themselves, their families, their communities and the world at large–must lift up those around them and bring them along for the ride. We simply must do this work together. Are you in? On July 16, 17 and 18, I’ll be sharing the virtual stage with some of today’s most dynamic women business leaders to share what’s working in business NOW, and how you, too, can skyrocket your mission through relationships.
