OpsStars NY Session | Women in Revenue Speak Out: What Companies Need to Do to Attract and Retain Them
•
1 like•85 views
The document discusses challenges faced by women in revenue roles and what companies can do to attract and retain them. It notes that women make up over half of college graduates but face challenges like lack of work-life balance and equal opportunities. Research shows that women are often better leaders than men in areas like driving results and developing others. However, women in sales roles still experience pay gaps compared to men despite equal or higher performance. The document recommends actions for companies like offering flexible work, paid parental leave, mentorship programs, and addressing unconscious bias.

Editor's Notes
- Here is what you can expect to learn today as we unveil our first research As part of discussing the survey results to you today, your also going to hear from our panel of expert speakers today: Laura, Amanda and Nate some of their experiences and also what top companies are doing to retain and attract top revenue leaders. We also have an e-book that we are launching with more in depth survey data. You will receive this as follow up along with today’s webinar recording.
- question - should we move the “who responded” to the very back of this deck (like we do in the ebook) or quickly go through it at the beginning? I’m inclined to include it - in other surveys people are always wanting to know who is behind the data so I think we should knock that out. or just include slide 7 (levels/roles) and not the rest? (speak to it only?)
- Notes for voiceover: 73% of respondents started their career in the revenue domain Nearly ⅔ surveyed were in B2B Saas technology companies, 16.5% in business services and the rest other Role % of total responses Sales Leader C-Level, VP, SVP 8.7% Marketing Leader C-Level, VP, SVP 24.3% Sales Professional Director, Manager 29.1% Marketing Professional Director, Manager, Associate 25.2% Other Revenue Position CSM, C-Level 12.6%
- HBR wrote a piece called “Are Women Better Leaders than Men” in 2012; This data is based on 7,280 leaders who had their effectiveness evaluated on an Extraordinary Leader 360 survey. These leaders weren’t random -- they were from the highest-performing companies, those that invest in their leadership team. Women clearly exceeded men in the top leadership positions.
- In the same study, women and men were rank on leadership competencies of top leaders -- an equal number of men and women evaluated each other. We’d expect women to be good at leadership skills that involve others -- developing and motivating others, building relationship. But many people would say that “taking initiative and driving for results” are things we’d expect men to be better at. Panel discussion.
- Notice that work/life balance and lack of mentorship rank in the top for both of these questions. I’m going to ask the panel - does this surprise you? #1 Work/life balance - 47.5% of total respondents (49/103)) #2 Lack of mentorship - 40.7% of total respondents (42/103) #3 Equal seat of the table - 34%
- on a slide like this where the source is really long I think we should remove the hashtag Companies with Women-Friendly Policies Outperform Others in Stock Price voiceover - explain Bloomberg GEI
- Some two-thirds of the women polled in this study said they would be prepared to leave their role if their employer’s gender pay gap was exposed to be higher than the national average.
- make call to action - visit www.womeninrevenue.org; sign up for mentor program; if in SF 4/25, join us at our networking event. members get a 48 hour head start on registration for event.
- I’d like to introduce you to Women in Revenue, a new organization focused on empowering sales and marketing leaders. Today were going to share with you some fresh, new research based upon what more than 100 top sales and marketing leaders reported in a recent survey. Part of our mission is to provide businesses with insights on what women seek in their roles and also to empower and inspire women with advice from their peers
- remove hashtag LAURA-- talk about RESEARCH BEST PRACTICES here -- looking at Glassdoor, Crunchbase, keep biases in mind. Look at many sources. what makes this hard -- qualitative, intuitive. ask people in my network who might have experience, and who don’t have a horse in the race. what does the company say, glassdoor, L-in connections, get neutral third-party view. how do you handle gut feel? double-down on the research. trust your gut, dispute or refute your gut feeling. developing that antenna/radar is something that you must foster. rely on people with more experience/sounding board. great place to use an advisor. be brave enough to bring up those EQ moments to logically assess.
- When we asked our survey respondents for their advice to their younger selves, we saw an overwhelming response around the idea of speaking up: confidence, taking risks, speaking up and not being afraid. Nate to talk about compensation fairness and understanding your worth, where to get more information (Payscale, Glassdoor, industry salary studies). Laura -- find a mentor (talks to her daughter about, new college grad). Consider larger companies -- sponsorship, the person who will take you along in their career.
- Amanda to speak to this Here we can ask the question “what can men do?”
- next let’s turn this over to Nate to talk about his employer, salesforce, and the ground-breaking work they’ve done on equal pay
- we can use this slide unless Nate has a formal one
- add source round up all percentages vs decimal points
