810: Confronting Sexism in Sales, with Rachel Mae and Keenan
On today's episode, Rachel Mae (Director of Sales for ASalesGuy) and Keenan (CEO of ASalesGuy and author of GAP Selling). Two weeks ago Rachel shared a story on LinkedIn about a cold call she made to a VP of Sales. In this brief call she encountered the kind of casual sexism that pervades much of the sales world. Rachel had had enough. And in a courageous post on LinkedIn she told the story of what happened. She named names. She called them out. And she knew Keenan had her back. But that was just part of the story. We’ll also talk about the reactions Rachel received to her post and we’ll get into what everyone can do to take a stand against the behaviors that Rachel, and all women in sales, encounter on a routine basis.Read Rachel's LInkedin Post: http://bit.ly/rachels-post_Arm your team with the tools they need to work from anywhere.

Mike Robbins is a former professional baseball player, motivational speaker, and author of an interesting book titled, "We’re All in This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust, and Belonging."Now here’s the thing about this book. As I was reading it, I kept thinking, well, this applies to sales and that applies to sales. In fact when you think about it, successfully working a complex deal selling to an enterprise with a lot of stakeholders involved, is, in fact, an exercise in team building. On this episode, Mike and I discuss his 4 pillars for team building. Unlike in most books about team building these lessons are not just for leaders. It’s really about what you can do as an individual to be part of team. How your contribution helps to build the culture of the team.
