What readers are saying

A must-read for anyone pursuing (or already in) a career in sales or tech

The Female Sales Leader has been an eye opening resource for me. It not only helped me recognise that some of the challenges I've faced were more about others' biases than about my abilities, but it also provided practical strategies, tips, and insights to grow professionally. The book has also empowered me to challenge bias and embrace the mindset of fully owning my authentic self.

Great read

A really thought-provoking read - male sales leaders should absolutely read this too.

Part 1 - I have never seen the three whys for tech sales articulated so clearly. I could give this to my daughter in a few years and it would give her a great understanding of what the career is all about. You could give this to anyone to explain enterprise sales

Part 2 - I thought this was a brilliant take on the tribal knowledge of how to progress and grow a career in sales that I have never seen written down anywhere. Really powerful advice that most people have to piece together over years of networking and trial and error. I thought it was all very applicable for both women and men.

Part 3 – Really good practical leadership advice – I am sure I will come back to this section regularly.

I am sure if is going to have a really positive impact to women entering the industry and building their careers, it also an insightful guide for men in the industry

Present and Future Sales Leaders - it's a must read.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book (which really isn't always the case!)

If you are a sales leader (male or female) you need to read this book. - It gave me mixed emotions. First - what an engaging and insightful book. And then resentment, as I WISH I had a text like this when I was going into leadership. So many great tips and supportive texts and examples.

I loved all the real life examples! (I think the authors should definitely have a Podcast!)

If you're climbing the ranks, running a team, or mentoring future leaders, this book is a must-read.
