What is the toughest thing about being a woman in sales? For me, it’s the sexism of my male colleagues. They always hear each other out, but when I have an idea, they feel free to start talking over me before I finish. Last week, I snapped and said, “Can I please finish telling you the idea before you tell me why it won’t work?” The best thing about being a woman in sales for me is the other women in sales who get it and are supportive. Thanks to everyone in this bowl! 💗

I agree with you. I get tired of the derogatory comments. My boss once made a comment about my lipstick color and it made me super uncomfortable.

I'm definitely with you there. I feel like I have to fight a lot harder to be taken seriously in my office and beyond. It can get discouraging. But I appreciate my female colleagues so much because I know they are going through it as well.
