Read about some inspiring women in sales who have left a mark wherever they have worked. DEEPA SHETTY Deep Gratitude! A true inspiration for women looking to carve their own careers and finding their calling. Deepa has proved her mettle in different industries and profiles over the past 25 years. A few years back, she did an MBA and found her calling in Sales. And voilà, she rocketed through industries to greater heights! Today, she heads Corporate Sales for 3CIT Solutions in Mumbai. An inspiration to Women in Sales, we caught up with her in Women’s Week 2022 to ask her opinion on these two key questions. How has your relationship with Sales been? Can you share some key learnings that Sales has taught you that changed your outlook in personal life? And a personal habit that you used to become a successful salesperson. I firmly believe honesty is the best policy. I learned this from my grandfather and father, who were successful business people and industrialists. This practice has always helped me in Sales and my personal life. I also practice the ‘Ask’ method and approach my clients with an open mind. I have built strong relationships with corporate clients based on trust and honesty in the past 25 years. How did you change your selling techniques in the post-pandemic era? The post-pandemic situation is tough. People become impolite if you bother them more than once. That’s why to respect the individual and get the desired outcome, I utilise a ‘short and direct’ approach where I try to get to the point as quickly as possible. To educate the client and make them aware of the newest products and technologies, I try to meet them personally to retain that human touch. Let's Get Social Home

< Back Cipla to market and distribute insulin inhalation drug 23 Dec 2024 Cipla received regulatory approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for exclusive marketing and distribution. Afrezza is the only non-injectable powdered insulin for type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MannKind Corporation USA created the drug and received FDA approval in June 2014. Cipla will procure Afrezza from MannKind and distribute and market it in India. Sanofi bought worldwide marketing and distribution rights in 2016 but dropped due to poor sales. Afrezza is a rapid-action insulin deliverable through an inhaler at the beginning of a meal. Taken orally, it begins working within 12 minutes and dissolves quickly into the lungs, delivering insulin directly to the bloodstream. It helps reduce the spike in post-meal blood sugar levels. The effect lasts 2-3 hours and resembles the body’s response to insulin. Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and Sanofi currently control the insulin market in India. Insulin costs between ₹1,000 - ₹5,000, with a single injection available for around ₹150. Afrezza’s price is yet to be determined. Previous Next

< Back Ola shutting down int’l business from April 12 10 Apr 2024 It is pulling out of the UK, Australia, and New Zealand markets and focusing on strengthening its India business with an IPO. Ride-hailing giant Ola Cabs is pulling out of all international markets for three reasons.
