To all the amazing women in sales: your determination and skill make our industry stronger.
Keep reaching for those leadership positions - you belong there.
Join us in supporting and celebrating women in sales, today, tomorrow, and every day.

Do you notice your telecom sales reps spending more time explaining technical specs than understanding what customers actually need?
Many sales managers watch their reps struggle with quota pressure while prospects slip away to competitors.
The challenge runs deeper than product knowledge.
Your team might know every feature by heart, but still find it hard to build trust, handle objections, or close deals consistently.
When selling complex telecom solutions, technical expertise alone won't cut it - your reps need to know how to connect with decision-makers and show real value.
Through training and real-world scenarios, your team can learn to turn technical conversations into meaningful discussions about business value.

Long sales cycles can feel like a never-ending journey.
Between multiple stakeholders, complex negotiations, and technical requirements, moving deals forward often feels like pushing a boulder uphill.
Here's what top performers do differently to speed things up:
- Map out all decision-makers early and engage them proactively
- Get procurement and legal requirements on the table in early discussions
- Build internal champions who can navigate company politics
Each of these 7 stages serves a purpose but the real win comes from running them in parallel when possible and anticipating roadblocks before they appear.

Trade shows can feel overwhelming.
While hundreds of potential customers walk by your booth, turning those brief interactions into meaningful business relationships often feels like catching lightning in a bottle.
The difference between a good and great exhibition performance comes down to your approach.
Each conversation needs structure – from that first attention-grabbing opener to a strategic exit that respects everyone's time.
Here are 9 steps to create natural flow in your conversations while keeping you focused on what matters most: connecting with the right prospects.
19/02/2025
Many sales leaders watch their booth staff struggle to stand out among countless competitors, while potential leads walk right past their booth looking at their phones.
Trade show selling needs a completely different approach than regular sales.
Your team has mere seconds to grab attention, qualify prospects, and gather information before visitors move on.
Without the right techniques, those expensive booth spaces and travel costs add up to missed opportunities.
From managing booth traffic to engaging the right visitors and maximizing post-event follow-up, proper training gives your team the confidence to make every show count.

Planning your next trade show? The difference between a great exhibitor and an average one often comes down to small but powerful actions.
Those small moments - the way you position yourself at your stand, how you greet passersby, and the questions you ask - make all the difference between a visitor walking past or stopping for a meaningful conversation.

Trade shows can feel overwhelming - packed aisles, bright displays, and countless chatter happening all around.
Yet success here comes down to something simple: good conversations.
Quick pitches might work for some, but real connections happen when we slow down and listen.
An honest "What brings you to the show today?" works better than any rehearsed speech.
When someone shares their challenges, that's gold.
Now you can show them relevant solutions and real examples that matter to their business.
They lean in, because they see possibilities, and not just promises.
And then, know when to step back.
Smart follow-ups make all the difference. The best deals rarely happen on the show floor - they develop in the focused conversations that follow.
Quality over quantity wins every time.
Taking time with the right prospects beats rushing through dozens of surface-level chats.

We've all worked with different types of leaders throughout our careers.
Some who've inspired us to grow, and others who... well, taught us what not to do.
The difference between effective and ineffective leadership often comes down to simple daily behaviors.
While one leader fosters trust and open communication, another might create fear and confusion. These small choices shape our team's culture, performance, and overall success.
The most powerful part?
These behaviors aren't fixed traits - they're choices we make every day.
When we choose to listen rather than dominate, inspire rather than intimidate, and recognize achievements rather than focus on mistakes, we create an environment where our teams naturally want to excel.
While mapping out your Q1 goals, consider how your leadership behaviors might help or hinder your team's success.
