81: Bringing The Cultured Perspective To Business with Nikki Ivey

This week’s guest is Nikki Ivey. Nikki is currently the Head of Sales at Inclusive, and is all about bringing a cultured perspective to the workplace. For most of her career, Nikki has been the only Black woman on her sales teams, and at times had to shrink herself, swallow pain, and even laugh awkwardly at jokes. As her accomplishments grew, so did her confidence to take action, and she started publishing content and building communities around attracting, supporting, and retaining diverse talent. In today’s episode, we discussed: The power of words and the influence Hip Hop music had on her life How being a teen mom helped her in sales Reducing the stigma of used car sales Using sales skills in marketing How inclusivity is not just a “nice to have” Hip Hop’s impact on sales performance Much More!
