“A few years ago, while attending a high impact business leadership program for Women, I started re-evaluating my career and life goals. I had always felt strongly about Women being financially independent and making their own choices in Life.
My other passion was Sales, in which I had invested 3 decades. I realised that there were still very few Women in Sales leadership roles because of many reasons including the pressure, aggressive competition, family responsibilities, stereotypical advice given to us to choose “traditional” career options. The list is never ending.
​Women hesitate to join Sales roles and the few that do, drop out within 5-10 years due to their inability to navigate the competitive road to the top- hectic travelling, after office networking.
For women entrepreneurs, the biggest challenge is building a consistent pipeline and managing their sales team. For a lot of women, selling seems overwhelming & “tough” with hardly any women role models or mentors to support them.
I decided that “If I wanted to see the change, I should be the change”. Thus, was born – SalesWoMentoring, a community to mentor Women in Sales & Business Owners.
