Show Notes
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.
