90: Her American Dream Started in Campus Phone Sales w/ Astha Mitra, SPX
Conversations with Women in Sales - A podcast by Lori Richardson
Categories:
Astha immigrated to the U.S. from India in 2006 and talks on this episode about how she ended up in professional selling in a male-dominated industry. As a researcher in a solar startup, she realized her passion for sales and mustered the courage to ask for a chance to be in sales at that company. Shining there and progressively making it through in a traditional all boys club of the electrical industry, she now leads a team of field sales reps managing a $100M+ quota. She balances being a great mom and being a passionate sales leader which she says makes life interesting.
