In this week’s Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Hang Black. From refugee to revenue leader, Hang Black’s career spans engineering, marketing, and sales, earning her the nickname “Black Ops”. A multi-national keynote speaker on sales, leadership, and a passionate advocate for women in the workplace, she is the author of a Wall Street Journal best-selling book. In this episode, Hang discussed the impact of AI, cultural disparities in the treatment of women in sales, and the evolving demographics of buyers. Highlighting the importance of diversity at all levels of an organization, Hang emphasized the need for intentional inclusion to avoid unintended exclusion in the workplace. She also delved into the potential of AI in optimizing tools to represent all buyers' needs and emphasized the necessity for sales leadership principles to adapt to digital advancements and technological changes. Moreover, Hang shared insights on the changing role of outbound SDRs and AEs and discussed the importance of programmatic diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies, emphasizing the need for genuine action to address unconscious bias and accelerate overlooked talent within organizations.
