Women in Sales

A panel discussion with sales leaders across industries

There are several corporate roles where women continue to be significantly under-represented. Sales is one of them.

Interestingly, sales is often seen as a role with a relatively low barrier to entry since it typically does not require a specialised qualification or certification*. Yet, the sales profession continues to be structured and experienced in ways that suit men more than women.

So what does it really take for women to enter, thrive, and lead in sales?

Join us on Thursday, 19th February at 3:00 PM as we hear from four accomplished sales leaders from diverse industry domains. They will share their journeys, the challenges they have navigated, and their recommendations on how organisations can create greater gender parity in sales, for the benefit of both the business and the women who drive it.
