A really thought provoking read - male sales leaders should absolutely read this too.
Part 1 - I have never seen the three whys for tech sales articulated so clearly. I could give this to my daughter in a few years and it would give her a great understanding of what the career is all about. You could give this to anyone to explain enterprise sales
.
Part 2 - I thought this was a brilliant take on the tribal knowledge of how to progress and grow a career in sales that I have never seen written down anywhere. Really powerful advice that most people have to piece together over years of networking and trial and error. I thought it was all very applicable for both women and men.
Part 3 – Really good practical leadership advice – I am sure I will come back to this section regularly.
I am sure if is going to have a really positive impact to women entering the industry and building their careers, it also an insightful guide for men in the industry
