[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any women successful in sales. I think it is quite sexist and many clients specifically request a male representative.

I know a man who is very successful in pharmaceutical sales. He is very tall and handsome, but he’s on his fourth wife

I think some people would distrust a beautiful saleswoman or take her less seriously though [/quote]

This is wrong. Being a woman in sales is an advantage. Women are often seen as more trustworthy, more empathetic and more trustworthy. Men enjoy dealing with women. Bonus if you’re attractive. I am a woman on track to earn $1.5M this year. Financial services, which is a type of selling. [/quote]

Pharmaceutical sales love former women’s college athletes. If they’re attractive, it’s a bonus. These sales reps can do very well. [/quote]

Sales is very personality driven. Most men aren't cut out to be successful sellers either. There's a reason why athletes do so well transitioning into sales after college sports. Athletic women are catching up with the athletic men because there were far fewer athletic women in previous generations. At my F500 among the sellers I know, an athletic background in college sports is a common factor most of them have. And I also think people confuse attraction with the kind of forward focused personalities you find in athletic people. [/quote]

Among the non-athletes in sales, you see a lot of other "forward facing" types in sales--people who like the spotlight in a conventional sort of way and talking. A lot of class presidents, people who play guitar in bands (not quirky theater kids, though), that kind of thing. [/quote]
