Flexibility matters, of course but in sales so does being face to face. In nearly 10 years in tech sales, I can count on one hand the number of customers who’ve bought from me without ever meeting face-to-face. Trust me when I tell you, if you aren’t meeting your customers face to face, your competitors are. As AI, automation and virtual assistants become even more embedded in our industry, I actually think human connection is going to become more valuable, not less. So if you’re returning to work, changing jobs or looking for more flexibility, take the flexibility but make sure you don’t flex yourself out of the rooms where relationships, opportunities and careers are built. Would you choose a more flexible role if it meant less face time with customers and colleagues? #TechSales #WomenInTech #CareerAdvice #FlexibleWorking #SalesCareer
