In conversation with The New Manager , Mr Judhajit Das of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance notes that 15 per cent of the field sales force in his company comprises women. He adds, “Women make exceptionally good sales people. They have the natural gift of conversation, social confidence and networking skills. If you look at South-East Asia, the top insurance agents are all women. For us too, in India, a lot of our top agents are women.”
Some say that for some categories of products and services, women make better sales persons than men. Besides the goods being sold, some contend that it depends on whom it is being sold to. What do you think?
