From First Step to First Deal: Women Rising in Sales
Your "Non-Traditional" Background is Your Competitive Edge.
Did you know that only 29% of the sales workforce are women? We are on a mission to change that statistic.
Research consistently shows that traits often labeled as "soft skills" - empathy, collaboration, and emotional intelligence—are the highest predictors of success in modern, consultative sales.
Are you ready to turn your unique experience into a high-impact sales career?
Join us for an evening dedicated to the Career Pivot. We’re bringing together a powerhouse panel of women who successfully transitioned from industries like Wine, Hospitality, and Customer Success into the fast-paced world of Fintech.
Hear how our speakers mastered the Melio sales process, navigated the learning curve, and chose to grow their careers here.
We’ll also explore the “Human Superpowers” women bring to sales—active listening, empathy, and solution-oriented thinking—and how these skills drive success in building a high-earning, fulfilling career.
We'll touch on:
The Sourcing Secret: Focus on the “why” and the “how” of the career change
The Transferable Skill: A practical guide to mapping your unique life experience to a sales role.
The 90-Day Reality: An honest look at the transition. From the panel's perspective on training, coaching, and sales psychology to fresh insights on navigating the onboarding process today.
