Listen now
Description
Sales leaders, let’s try an exercise: if given a blank sheet of paper, can you write down three “superpowers” for each of your reps? The best sales leaders aren’t those who force reps to sell like them. Sales teams that consistently win lean into diversity through supportive leadership that enables psychological safety and amplifies individual strengths.

In this episode, we’re joined by Chantel George, founder & CEO of Sistas In Sales, which she founded to bring the mentorship, opportunities, and networking, and training that she wishes she had when she started in sales to women from diverse backgrounds.

Join us as we discuss: Why failing to build a diverse sales team leaves important, problem-solving perspectives — and money— on the tableHow the best leaders trust their sellersWhy it’s important to build psychological safety
