Episode 56: Interview with Lauren Bailey
Ashleigh and Kasey talk to the Founder of Factor8 and Girls Club, Lauren Bailey, otherwise known as LB, about salary negotiations, justification, and perfectionism.
SHOW NOTES#GirlsClub
-Lauren spent 15 years in the inside sales industry, and as she grew, found she was one of the only women at the table. However, it wasn’t until she started Factor8 and joined the Women Sales Pros group that she realized the power of female mentorship.
-#GirlsClub helps women who want to get to the next level in their sales career achieve that goal by providing skill training, confidence boost, and a supportive community.
Encouragement
-A confidence gap exists between men and women, from promotions to salary negotiations, women are sure that if they work hard, they will get the promotion or the raise, but this isn’t the case.
-As a leader, you have a financial responsibility to your company, but women need the encouragement to negotiate. Teach them the skills to do that, and it will pay off, you won’t lose them.
-As a woman, start advocating for yourself, and don’t be afraid to raise your hand if you want or need something.
Justification
-Finding a mentor seems like a daunting task, but you don’t need a great reason to ask someone you admire a question or to send a connection request.
-Lauren coaches women to get past this thinking by offering a community that encourages risk-taking. Women find their voices in a supportive environment and automatically connect with a mentor.
Perfectionism
-The most important thing to remember is that everybody makes mistakes, even the people you admire. It’s okay to screw up.
-Move past the shame of a mistake by being vulnerable. Speak about it and watch others do the same.
-This is a moment that’s highly intense for everyone. You might not want to speak about how you feel for fear of saying the wrong thing, but as long as you’re earnest and open to learning, it’s okay to mess it up. It’s a part of the process.
