Mansi Panchal’s Playbook: What I Learnt About Being a Woman in Sales

 When I first entered the world of sales, I thought my biggest challenge would be hitting targets. But as time passed, I quickly discovered that for women, the battle often starts before the pitch even begins. That’s exactly what Mansi Panchal addresses so boldly in her mentoring, the untold struggles of women in sales that no one prepares you for.

Listening to Mansi, I finally felt seen. She doesn’t sugarcoat it. From being mistaken for an assistant to being interrupted, overlooked, or underestimated - women in sales fight battles that rarely get talked about openly. But instead of playing the victim card, Mansi flips the script. She teaches that these situations are tests of character, not setbacks.

One of the biggest takeaways for me has been her concept of guarding your time and qualifying your clients ruthlessly. In the beginning, I would often engage with every prospect, thinking it was my job to please everyone. But Mansi’s advice shifted my mindset completely: not everyone deserves your time. When you qualify seriously and work only with people who match your intent, you not only save time, you elevate your authority.

Mansi also emphasizes something that resonated deeply with me: matching energy, not mimicking aggression. I always thought being heard meant being louder or tougher, but Mansi showed that confidence isn’t about volume but it’s about presence. By staying calm, firm, and clear about my value, I began commanding respect naturally. The confidence to say "this is my price, and this is what I bring to the table" has been life-changing.

And then there’s the art of asking the right questions. Mansi’s approach taught me that sales isn’t about hard selling; it’s about opening real conversations. The more I asked, the more I uncovered, and the more trust I built. Trust, as she says, always closes better than any flashy pitch.

Through Mansi Panchal’s lens, I’ve not only sharpened my sales skills but redefined how I carry myself as a woman in business. It’s no longer just about closing deals, it’s about owning my worth. And that shift? That’s where real power begins.
