International Women's Day: Celebrating the Women of B2B at #B2BMX

For women working in the world of B2B tech, sales, or marketing, International Women’s Day is an important day. In what is often a male-dominated field - today is a day to lift up other hard-working women, celebrate their achievements and successes, and start important conversations about the very real challenges women face in the workplace.

So in honor of International Women’s Day and in an effort to build up other women in our community, we took to the floor at B2BMX. At the event, we interviewed women on their experiences working in the B2B industry, and advice they have for others early in their careers. Here’s what they had to say:

‍
"What advice would you give to women early in their B2B careers?

“Always be yourself and be confident in what you’re doing. It’s easy to have self-doubt but remember you’re here for a reason,”

“When you get opportunities within your career, say yes. The more exposure you have, the more you’ll learn about yourself.” 

‍

‍Kirsten Yee

"My advice to women early in their career is to be bold which can be hard when you feel like you don’t know anything. But be bold, ask questions, and try not to be afraid of failing because that’s just part of your learning experience."
