Katie McDonald was in sales previously. Now she coaches women in self-care because of so many of us who have gotten burned out or just put ourselves last. Hear some of Katie's suggestions for your crazy busy life. She talks about "ME management"  It's all about self-care strategies because the fact is most of us are running on fumes and we're borrowing future energy to get through today. Katie wants to disrupt that. When we think about what we're able to create in a compromised state she wants to leverage the wellbeing that we can create through our habits. Katie also says that to create sustainable change and also have a legacy, leave a legacy behind that's intentional and come from a place of nourishment and restoration instead of deprivation and denial is the goal.  More about Katie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bnourished/ https://bnourished.com/ More about Women Sales Pros - we have a website, we are on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.  Subscribe to our 2x a month news, and share the podcast with others!

Welcome to 2025! Join me today in our first episode of the year where I am sharing actionable advice and strategies for starting 2025 with clarity and control. Here are some highlights: Start Small: Choose one strategy and implement it today. Small, consistent actions lead to meaningful, lasting change. Future Self Vision: Instead of setting traditional resolutions, imagine the person you want to become this year. Think about how you'll think, feel, and act a year from now. Word of the Year: Choosing a guiding word like "rooted" can set the tone for your year. It's a simple yet powerful way to align your energy and intentions. Time Blocking: Move beyond to-do lists by scheduling specific time slots for tasks. Incorporate buffer time to accommodate unexpected changes, and honor those blocks as non-negotiable commitments to yourself. Smart Goals and Priorities: Break down your goals into specific, measurable, and actionable steps. Focus on what truly aligns with your values and unlearn the idea that "busy" equals productive. Delegation and Saying No: Outsource or eliminate tasks that don't require your direct involvement. Protect your time by setting boundaries and learning to decline tasks that don't align with your priorities. Journaling and Planning: Use tools like the Priority Playbook Planner to clarify your goals and map out your priorities. Writing things down clears mental space and helps with accountability.

Women in Sales - Frauen verkaufen anders ist der Titel des gleichnamigen Buches. Darin durfte ich 25 Frauen aus dem B2B-Sales aus ganz verschiedenen Branchen interviewen. Dafür wurden wir ans FORBES Women Business Sumnmit eingeladen, wo wir mit 6 der Women in Sales eine Breakout-Session durchführen dürften. Dies ist die Audio-Aufzeichnung davon. Nur soviel noch: Anhören lohnt sich (auch für Männer:-) - Garantiert!

Xactly is a tech platform for assisting companies with compensation and forecasting with the sales team, and has been around since 2005. They started sharing research about men in sales roles versus women in 2014 or so - quite some time ago, and just released their 2024 research results which includes the following: ● Representation disparities: The gender ratio in sales is alarming. Women are underrepresented in sales roles, constituting only 34% of the sales force and only 29% of sales managers. ● Female salespeople earn less: On average, men earn 3.5% more than women as salespeople, and 3.7%* more as sales managers when it comes to fixed pay. Without adjustment of outside factors, men earn 9% more than women as salespeople, and 13% more as sales managers. ● Pay gaps widen over time: At the start of salespeople's careers, men earn 2.2% more on average than women. After 2 years, this gap widens by 30%. After 5 years, the gap increases even more significantly, with a 77% increase. ● The gaps differ from industry to industry: The pay gap varies significantly across sectors, with female sales professionals in the Life Sciences and Pharma space reporting a 9% gap in pay and Manufacturing space with an 8% gap. It might be more opportune for women in sales to enter the Financial Services industry, where no pay gap was reported. ● State-by-state disparities: The state sales people live in seems to correlate with the pay disparities. Colorado and New Jersey hold the largest pay gap between men and women at 7%, with Georgia and Washington claiming the lowest pay gap at 1%. ● Performance remains unaffected: Despite the overwhelming disparities in representation and pay, female sales professionals consistently outperformed their male counterparts. Female salespeople outperformed men by 1.5%, and female sales managers outperformed by 3%. ● Loyalty is not a factor: Women tend to show greater loyalty to their Sales teams, staying with the same organization on average four months longer than their male counterparts. ● Unfair impact on quota assignments: Many organizations do not seem to recognize women's higher performance. On average, male salespeople are assigned 3% higher quotas, and male sales managers are assigned 5% higher quotas, suggesting that sales teams assign men to higher potential sales territories or opportunities.   Follow Women Sales Pros for more research, interviews, and recommendations to add more women into sales and sales leadership roles.  Sign up for our newsletter for 2x month insights, ideas, and stories - and submit your own!

Register for the IES Women in Sales Leadership Development programs here. Today's show featured an interview with Jessica Joines. She will be the keynote speaker at the Conference. IES Women in Sales Program Director Gina Stracuzzi conducted the interview. JESSICA'S ADVICE:  “It's an evening practice that I have. I review my day and I go in a chronological fashion. All the things that I feel really good about, I did, I acknowledge them. Like a virtual pat on my back. “That was great,” I celebrate myself. I acknowledge the good. Then the things where I'm like, “Oh my God.” We all have them, those things that are whatever, I say, “I forgive you, Jessica.” I do a self-forgiveness and letting it go. Because what happens is, and neuroscience is actually showing a lot of this interesting enough, you don't let those things go. It's a living pathway and it stews and then they just keep compounding all that negative self-talk. Making it a daily practice to celebrate the self.”

There are other people whose passion is with health-related issues or fitness or whatever. To me, it doesn't matter what it is. What matters is that we throw ourselves into something and contribute to society and to our world to make it a better place. To stand back and go, “There's nothing I can do.” Well, that's not true. Getting involved is something."

ELYSE'S ADVICE:  “Instead of making a list of reasons why you can't, in your head, why don't you make a list of reasons why you can and quit going from worst case scenario to best case scenario. You have to be your own best advocate, not just in sales, but in life, in all areas of life. Make a list of reasons why it's possible for you.  Your customers, your money, your job opportunities, they're just going to mirror to you how you're feeling and thinking about you. You'll see things start to shift, but it has to start with you validating you first.”

But the more you stay in front of the right people and are stringent about your calendar and where you're spending time and energy, that's the real way to advance and see tangible results with what you're trying to accomplish.” MAYSSA'S ADVICE:  “Find joy in what you do and find what motivates you. Find your why, why will you get up in the morning every day? What do you want to be remembered for at the end of your career? It's only after you have answered those questions that you will be able to, one, understand your motivation, and two, operate at your most optimal and happiest level.

I think we have to be very intentional about that this is why we're here, we want this partnership. But that also, it should be a partnership. In any engagement, it's not just we're going to give and do and give and do. There should be a little bit of the what's in it for us? As for the business, understand that the customer understands you're committed and this is what you want, but that it is a two-way street, a strategic partnership, and there should also be some win in it just beyond that transaction for you and your company. When there's skin in the game on both sides, it changes the dynamics of the relationship I think in a positive way, that is meaningful.”

Lori began her sales journey growing up in her grandmother's fine women's apparel store.

She went back to her sales roots, intentionally looking for a sales role as technology was booming in the mid-1980's.After a stellar career in tech sales, Lori launched Score More Sales, a sales consultancy designed to help leaders of mid-sized companies hire better sellers and evaluate their existing sales teams. The company launched 20 years ago. 2022 is a big celebratory year.In 2015 Lori realized that so many of the sales managers she was training and coaching were male so she set out to determine why so few women were in sales and especially as sales executives in leadership. That realization launched Women Sales Pros, which consists of a group of top women sales experts as well as a consulting and coaching arm to assist company leaders in creating more diverse sales teams.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling From The Heart, Darrell Amy and Larry Levine are joined by special guest Lori Richardson, founder of Score More Sales and trailblazer in the sales industry.

LORI'S ADVICE:  "For employers, I'd say, what is the current experience that your new parents are having? Ask that question. Can you answer the question, what is the experience that they're having? If you don't really know the answer, then go talk to them and do exactly what Rebecca's employer did, which is to ask for their feedback." REBECCA'S ADVICE:  "Be bold and ask the questions that need to be asked. But we need to take it one step further and think of how what you're saying will be received, or what you're asking will be received to that particular audience. Because that can really help you adapt and ask it the right way where you're going to get the response that you really need."

TIFFANY'S ADVICE:  “Voice your expectations, your aspirations, but also where you need help. Whether you are looking to move from covering maybe smaller accounts to enterprise accounts, it's important that you're great at covering the small accounts, but you got to let someone know that you're interested in covering the enterprise accounts so that they can connect you with the opportunities and the people that are going to help you get there. If you have an interest in being a sales leader, you have to be a great seller. But it's important that you let someone know that you have aspirations to be in leadership so that you can begin taking on some of the projects, some of the work, some of the mentorship that's going to help you build those muscles and that competency so that people can see you in that role.”

Once you actually lean in and try it, you realize it's not rocket science and nothing bad will happen if you mess up the first time. Take all the risks you can, take all the challenges you can. Ask for the extra work, ask for the position. Take a risk on a campaign or a go-to market strategy that you're not sure will execute results. Out-of-the-box thinkers and people who are really putting themselves out there to do things that are creative, that are different, and a little risky, I don't think you ever regret those."

So you look at the losing aspect of things and you think I can either literally sit in my own, like just sadness and just woe is me, poor pitiful me, or just challenge it, challenge the loss, challenge yourself to say, like, I'm losing right now, but I'm better than losing. So I'm not going to lose. I'm better than that. So go find your winds. 'Cause the winds are out there."Success as Daily Progress and Mindset - Amelia Taylor: "Success is just winning the day in front of you. Success is me saying at the end of the day, I did better than I did yesterday. Or it's also saying I can do better tomorrow if I had to, if I just take a step back today to learn how to be better for tomorrow... I get to choose what my mindset is at the end of the day. I get to choose if I'm going to be better the next day or if I'm going to go, what are the choices?

The more opportunities that you can take to really invest in learning, especially early, but of course throughout your career, the more opportunities you will give yourself over time.”

For women in sales, it's not always an easy road. In the second half of Amy's conversation with Lori Richardson (Listen to Part 1 from July 8th, 2022) they get into everything from the deal take- overs, the micro-aggressions, the aggressions, and flat-out sexual harassment. They discuss the best ways to choose a company to work for, when and how to respond when confronted with these situations, how the same BS of old is often repackaged in a more modern way, and how engaged male allies are so vital to making progress.Find out more about Lori RichardsonBuy Lori's book She SellsLIsten to Lori's podcast Listen to Davidson Hang's interview with Amy

If I have something to say and it's my turn to speak, I will just keep talking, and somebody's going to stop and it's not going to be me. Women are hesitant to do that because when we get talked over, and I see this all the time, when somebody talks over a woman, she's going to stop talking. Almost a hundred percent of the time she's going to stop talking. I just don't do that. Keep talking!”
