I can see in some cases are better sales people.....
but it is a widely known factor men are better salesmen
that%26#039;s why there ceos and executives...if woman in generalwere better sales then how come there not on top? if your good you would get on top
even this girl told me she changed her mind in getting into buiness because it would be hard for a woman to climb up|||the reason mostly men are CEO%26#039;s and other high level executives is NOT because they are necessarily better salespeople. They reached these higher levels because of several reasons. Here are two that I was taught, by a man no less, in a business class in college.
1. Men have been in the work force longer. Women in big business is a relatively new idea. It can take a person%26#039;s whole career to become a CEO or chairperson. Most of the people that are executives now were entry level employees before the time that women in big business became common place. So, they%26#039;ve had more time to work their way up than women have.
2. There%26#039;s an idea of something called the %26#039;glass ceiling%26#039; which refers to situations where the advancement of a qualified person within the hierarchy of an organization is stopped at a lower level because of some form of discrimination. Like I stated before, most of the head honchos entered the work force before women were commonplace in business. So, they feel that men are superior. Hence they promote men before women.
These ideas are changing and there are plenty companies that now have women as CEO%26#039;s and other top executive spots. There are currently 11 women running fortune 500 companies. Its a slow climb for many, but you%26#039;ll be seeing more and more women CEO%26#039;s in the future.
Here%26#039;s a recent article about the glass ceiling in business that you should refer to your friend.
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/specials/g鈥?/a>|||It%26#039;s not hard for a woman to climb to the top because of her lack of sales. Usually it is because of male domination. I worked retail for a video game company, and it was hard for women to climb to the top because of the stereotypes within the industry. It%26#039;s all politics.
I don%26#039;t think that there can be a generalized answer to what gender is better in sales. I know that I could sell a coat, hat, gloves, earmuffs and a heater to a person in hell. It%26#039;s all about being comfortable in your own skin.
You also won%26#039;t be able to say that women aren%26#039;t the product of discrimination, because it was reported a few years back that women in the same position as men in a certain company I will leave unnamed, received considerably less than the men, and the women were at times more experienced in sales and management.
As for your comment, or question rather about why there aren%26#039;t women at the top, well that statement is just a blind accusation. Who said that women are not at the top?
Anywho, it%26#039;s hard a lot of the times for women to succeed because of stereotypes, generalizations like the ones you have made, and just ignorance. Not saying all women are better salespeople or business women, but the ones who are great really have to work hard. They have to prove themselves to people like you, who just happen to hold the position of the boss.|||try looking at it like this
men are the best salesmen but women are the best executioners for the job.
why else would we have most of the retailers have women as cashiers, why else would we have hooters full of women.
why else have seductive images of women in video games covers, why have women swim suit models.
think thats where people get confuse, is not the women sell more them men but most of the time they are the ones doing the selling for the men.|||unfortunately you still have those men out there who think women are not good enough for these big top gun jobs but on the same hand women are just as good as men anyway the point is most bosses like women to to sales reping because there women there pretty they can draw in most men to seal the deal but also women are intelligent and relate to other women we are more sociable so were a better pick unlike a man who can sit at a desk all day secluded like they like to be but don%26#039;t get me wrong men are just as good as women my dad was a sales rep and went overseas but his boss was a women but the point is men and women are as good as each other some men are better at this and some women are better then that but in the end were all equally|||well i work and i cant be all smiley and preppy like girls are
i cant just be like HEEYY HOW ARE OMG I LOVE YOUR NECKLACE
see if youre a guy you%26#039;ll understand thats not easy i%26#039;ll just be like hey hows it going, cool cool...|||The salesmen make use of women%26#039;s looks to sell stuff for them
