@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela Being a "token" woman in sales in the 70s and 80s meant dealing with the #RumorMill about why she was hired! But Kemper says she was motivated to make other #womeninsales proud and make it from salesperson to management within 2 years of being hired. #InspiringWomenLeaders

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela She saw herself at the top right from the beginning, and she persevered and insisted on being taken seriously as a #leader! Believe in yourself, set your goals, don't listen to the No's! "If we listened to the No's, we wouldn't have the leaders we do today."

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela “Am I going to go work for someone who doesn’t believe in me, or am I going to make something for myself?” When you can’t find it in organizations, you build it yourself. #selfbuilt #womeninleadership

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela Tips from Alice: Make a list of your fears - are they real, or did someone else put them in your head?

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela Take responsibility for your own destiny. Train yourself. Hire a coach. Share your goals with your boss. Find your value.

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela Thoughts are rolling in to the #exchange with Alice Kemper @BestSalesTips! Really excited to hear her responses!

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela “Try to be a duck!” Let envy and rumors roll off your back - know your #worth as a #womanleader

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela Lessons from her experience as a teacher: Believe in your people more than you #believeinyourself.

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela The best way to respond to criticism is with a question - ask them what they mean. #aliceisms

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela How does Kemper #supportwomen? By hiring women. Coaching women. Doing business with women.

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela One thing she would teach young Alice - listen to clients, ask them questions and understand their needs before you offer your products and services.

@BestSalesTips @GaringerAngela And that wraps up another amazing #TeVirtualEvent! Thank you so much to Alice Kemper @BestSalesTips and @GaringerAngela for such an inspiring and important conversation. Make sure to check out #virtualevents calendar to take part in future events: bit.ly/2ng7Tqr
