If you’re a sales leader who is frustrated trying to figure out why your team isn’t hitting their numbers—or why it feels like you’re constantly putting out fires—this session is for you.
Lauren Bailey and special guest Lori Richardson are here to help you crack the code on what’s really going on with your reps and managers. This webinar isn’t about fluff—it’s about diving into the hard truth: the skill gaps and missing attributes that are likely dragging down your results.
We’ll share the top strengths and gaps we’ve uncovered from assessing, evaluating, and training thousands of sales teams just like yours—and show you the skills your managers and sellers need to focus on now to turn things around FAST. You’ll have the opportunity to access real data on how your team measures up against the competition and learn where your reps and managers are falling short.
You’ll learn:
- 3 tough questions you need to ask to expose what’s really going wrong
- How to determine where your team stacks up against other companies (from skill gaps to coachability)
- Top strengths and gaps we’ve seen in reps and managers (and the must-have skills to fix them)
- Why accountability is the secret sauce for improving team performance
- Will vs. skill: how to make sure you’re keeping/retaining the right people
This session is all about giving you the data and insights to make smart moves for 2025. Join us if you’re ready to lead with confidence, armed with the facts and a plan to drive results.

Since the Equal Pay Act was signed in 1967, the wage gap has been a very real issue – with women today earning 84 cents for every dollar a man earns (that gap is even worse for many women of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community).
According to the Center for American Progress, the gender pay disparity has cost American women an estimated $61 trillion since 1967. At the current rate we are moving, it will take at least 30 more years to close the gap completely. So how do we fix it? Let’s talk about it during this 1-hour, informative webinar hosted by our friends at #GirlsClub.
You’ll learn how the wage gap affects your recruiting and company morale (and the legal implications it has), tips on how to close the wage gap by starting within your organization, and advice on how to advocate for yourself and get the pay you deserve.

Why are boundaries so hard for so many? Sometimes we feel we HAVE TO DO IT ALL – at work, at home, in life. Rarely do we see saying “no” as an option, and many may think that having boundaries labels you as “difficult to work with” or “unwilling to be a team player.”
During our conversation, we will discuss how setting boundaries is a form of self-care. It helps to create a clear guideline of how you would like to be treated.
Whether you struggle to set boundaries, communicate them or stick to them, you will want to join us for our 1-hour, informative session hosted by Lauren Bailey and #GirlsClub and sponsored by KnowBe4. Panelists include: Kristin Westberg, Kelly O’Horo, Loryn Eriksson-Martini, and Suzanne Ballenger.
