Wendy Mascio, the CEO of Workscape, and a guest lecturer at Grove City, spoke about her experience in sales as well as her experience in starting a startup company. \u00a0She focused on personal experiences in business that pushed her to create a new career for herself such as not being “okay” with the status quo, tenacity, self-reliance, calculated risk, failure, and keeping an open mind. \u00a0One thing that she mentioned, but didn’t focus all of her attention on was the sales umbrella in terms of traits that both men and women hold. \u00a0This was such a little portion of her lecture, but truly caught my attention.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/h2>\nEmpathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. \u00a0Although men are fully capable of empathy, the are not always the best. \u00a0In the world of sales, Mascio made in extremely clear that most men and the “Killer Hunters.” \u00a0They know what they want and they go after it, sometimes at full force. \u00a0Women can have this exact same drive and trait, but they generally do it with a little bit of a softer side. \u00a0Again, this is the same wiring, but women just carry a different ability that allows them to be a little less threatening. \u00a0This still doesn’t make one better than the other, but almost gives women an advantage in the world of sales.<\/p>\n
Mascio spoke to a few more traits that allowed her to become a sales woman after being a Biology major at Grove City College. \u00a0She made it clear that a lot of her experience came from reading about sales, experiencing sales, and a little bit of trial and error. \u00a0From there, she mentioned that sometimes sales is just a natural process for people. \u00a0If it is not natural, start to find ways to learn more about sales, attend networking events, and start to build transferrable skills to move your way into the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
