Sistas In Sales

Most AI conferences talk at you. This one was built for you. Practical tools. Bold inspiration. And next steps you can actually use. Earlier this week, Chantel George of Sistas In Sales flew in to help us prep for MidwestCon , now in its fourth year. What makes it different? You’ll hear about AI, yesbut in a way that connects directly to your work, your strategy, your next move.

At SIS Summit 2025, we’re #reimaginingrevenue not just with data and deals, but with #art that fuels bold thinking. Together with Carter Fine Art Services Kente Royal Gallery, and Empower The Village, we’re transforming every floor of Center415 into a living gallery, featuring world-class Black and diasporic artists. Because the best sellers aren’t just driven, they’re inspired. 🖼️ Let art shift your perspective. Let culture elevate your ambition. 🎟️ Ticket prices rise August 1 — secure yours now. #RevenueReimagined #SIS2025 #BlackArt #WomenInSales #EmpowerTheVillage #CreativeLeadership #InspirationInBusiness #KenteRoyalGallery #CarterFineArt #SistasInSales

Only 21 people in history have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. One of them is joining us live at the Sistas in Sales Summit this September. She’s a cultural icon. A truth-teller. A trailblazer.

It’s 2025, and yes, we still need a business case to explain why our mission matters. So here it is: Women of color in sales don’t just deserve seats at the table, they deserve investment, elevation, and long-term retention. Here’s the business case: ✔️ Diverse sales teams consistently outperform. ✔️ Women of color drive revenue through cultural fluency, trust, and community insight. ✔️ And yet, too often, we’re still “the only one” in the room. At Sistas In Sales, we’re building a new standard. Our “Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Rising Star” panel was a powerful reminder that representation alone isn’t enough, we need systems that sponsor, uplift, and advance. If you believe in building stronger, smarter, more inclusive sales organizations: 👉🏾 Join us this September at the 2025 Sistas in Sales Summit. It’s where rising talent meets real opportunity. With gratitude to our brilliant speakers: Sukhmani Khanna, Microsoft Nakea Tyson, TikTok Nadina Perera, MBA, Braze Mindy Lembert, Motive Natasha Arrington, Workday #SistasInSales #SISSummit2025 #WomenInSales #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityDrivesRevenue #SalesExcellence #BreakingTheGlassCeiling

Too many brilliant women of color stay silent in meetings. Not because they don’t have ideas, but because they’re waiting for permission. Let *this* be your permission: You belong in the room. And if you're in the room, it's your job to be heard. 🎯 Here’s how to make your presence count: 1. Come prepared. Know the agenda in advance and bring a point of view. 2. Speak early. Don’t wait for the “right moment” — create it. 3. Add value. Ask a strategic question, summarize a key point, or challenge respectfully. 4. Engage outside the room. Elevators. Events. DMs. Influence travels. 5. Don't defer. Even if you're junior, you can contribute critical insight. If you're quiet, they’ll assume you're not ready. If you speak with intention, they’ll remember your name. 🎙 Wisdom from three powerhouse leaders: Tunisia Sharpe (Pinterest) Jackie McKinley (Pegasystems) Delores (Del) Bennett Rochester (Oracle) This moment happened at Sistas in Sales Summit, and it’s just one of many. The rooms we’re building are made for you to rise. #WomenInSales #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutivePresence #SistasInSales #InclusionMatters #CareerGrowth #LinkedInLeadership

I’m honoured to share that I’ve been nominated for a Multicultural Inspire Awards The INSPIRE Awards celebrate individuals driving meaningful change in business and the community, and I’m proud to be recognised for the work that’s rooted deeply in my personal journey.

When tech teams were shrinking and the pressure to deliver kept rising, Danielle Estrada turned to AI, not as a gimmick, but as a practical tool. At our 2023 Sistas in Sales Summit, Danielle Estrada spoke for so many sales leaders navigating layoffs, shifting targets, and constant pressure to "do more with less." What made her perspective powerful? She didn’t just name the problem, she shared how she’s solving it. “I took my rough, sloppy notes, popped them into ChatGPT, and instantly had a recap ready for my team. It’s like having a virtual assistant.” Danielle was one of the first voices on our stage to connect AI to real, daily sales leadership, not theory, but actual application. 💡 Long before AI was trending, we were making space for these conversations. And we’re just getting started. 🎟️ Join us at the 2025 SIS Summit to hear from the leaders shaping what’s next. #SistasInSales #SIS2025 #WomenInSales #AIinSales #SalesLeadership #DanielleEstrada #SalesInnovation #TechLeadership #FutureOfWork

From $1,895 to a multimillion-dollar empire — Robin McBride’s sales story is one for the books. In 1999, she met her sister for the first time at LaGuardia Airport. Years later, they would go on to build McBride Sisters Wine Company — now the largest Black-owned and women-founded wine company in the U.S. Robin didn’t have a playbook. She had persistence, product-market fit, and a bold belief in her vision. Now, she’s bringing that story to the SIS stage. We’re honored to announce Robin McBride as the Saturday Keynote Speaker at SIS Summit 2025 in NYC — and to welcome a full brand activation from the McBride Sisters Wine Company, SHE CAN Wines. 📈 Keynote: The Sales Journey Behind a Wine Empire 🍷 Brand Activation: VIP pours, happy hours, and a community toast 📣 A weekend experience rooted in sisterhood, legacy, and leadership If you're a sales leader, brand builder, or founder at heart — this is a room you want to be in. 🎟 Tickets are moving.

If you haven’t watched Love Island USA, here’s the quick breakdown: 10+ men and women live in a villa, couple up, and navigate love, loyalty, and strategy, all under the public eye. America votes for the winning couple. Last night, Amaya won! She moved with calm. She spoke with intention. She stayed centered, and STILL walked away with the win. 🏆 At Sistas In Sales, that’s the leadership style we celebrate. Not performative. Just clear, grounded, powerful. We’re building rooms for women like Amaya — and YOU — to win, too. 🎟️ Tickets increase on August 1st! 📍NYC | Sept 18–20 #SISSummit2025 | #SalesLeadership | #SoftPower | #AmayaEra | #WomenInSales

At the Sistas In Sales summit we don’t just speak about targets on our panels, we speak about real LIFE and to many health is a major factor in their day to day life! As someone living with a long-term condition, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to perform at a high level while protecting your health. This panel was created after powerful conversations with women working while managing chronic illness, invisible disabilities, fertility journeys and Neurodiversity. Last year myself and IMANI LANERS had a conversation and the task was given to create this! It is amazing to be led by a thought leader like Chantel George who understands the need for these conversations within our summit! This panel isn’t just about highlighting the challenges, we’re also celebrating the resilience, innovation, and leadership that emerge when we create space for honest conversations about health in the workplace. We’ll be exploring how individuals are not just surviving but thriving with purpose, reimagining what success looks like in sales and corporate spaces. It’s about turning lived experiences into insight, limitations into strategy, and allyship into action. Together, we’re shaping a future where wellbeing is seen as a strength, not a setback. Looking forward to a meaningful, solutions-focused conversation. See you at the Summit! #SistasInSales #SISSummit2025 #CorporateWellbeing #HealthAtWork #SalesLeadership #InclusiveWorkplaces #AllyshipInAction #DisabilityInclusion #TalksWithMS
