What If Ramesh Was Tara
Sales Isn’t a Man’s Job. It’s a Tough Job — And Women Are Doing It Brilliantly.
You might’ve read our last post: “A Day in the Life of a Sales Rep.”
It followed Ramesh, a field rep managing dealer visits, tracking TA/DA, juggling CRM tools, and trying to make time for family at the end of a long day.
It resonated with many.
But here’s the thing:
When we wrote it, we picked Ramesh without thinking twice.
And that’s the problem.

Let’s Flip the Script
What if that story wasn’t about Ramesh?
What if it was Tara— riding her two-wheeler across town, juggling dealer visits, answering leads on the go, checking in with her manager, and calculating kilometres driven — while dealing with assumptions, double standards, and late evenings that aren’t always safe?
Would the story be any different?
The challenges would still be the same:
Unreliable CRMs
Manual check-ins and reporting
Endless TA/DA forms
Pressure to close, pressure to prove
But the bias? That’s extra.

Women in Field Sales Don’t Need Special Tools.
They Just Need the Right Ones.
At NxGn, we didn’t build our CRM for men in sales.
We built it for people in sales — whether that’s Ramesh, Tara, Neha, or Nandini.
Our features don’t care about gender. But they care deeply about usability, safety, efficiency, and time saved:
Auto Check-ins— no manual entries
Auto-logging visits — so no one questions where you’ve been
One-tap TA/DA claims — no extra rounds of justification
Real-time visibility — so performance speaks for itself
Because empowerment isn’t just about encouragement. It’s about infrastructure.

When we picture “sales reps,” we need to stop picturing only men.
The truth is, across industries — from FMCG to pharma to fintech — women are out there doing the miles, closing the deals, and growing businesses.
But if our language, stories, and tools keep ignoring them, we aren’t just being inaccurate. We’re being unfair.

So, the next time you read a story like Ramesh’s,
ask yourself:
"Could this have been Tara?"
Because if it could,
then maybe it should have been all along.
