Who’s Supporting the Supporters? Women in Sales Ops Deserve It.

September 8, 2025

You’re the one making sure everyone else is supported and successful. But who’s looking out for you?

You already know this, but I’ll say it anyway: you’re the one holding everything together. And you do an amazing job at it. Sales reps hit their numbers because you set up the process and the tools. Leaders walk into big meetings ready because you gave them the right data. Teams run smoothly because you noticed the details no one else did.

That’s incredible. You’re incredible.

But here’s the question: while you’re making sure everyone else has the training, tools, and support they need to succeed… who’s making sure you do?

Look around. Sales teams get entire coaching programs. Leaders get executive development. Marketing and finance have conferences, certifications, and training paths just for them. And women in Sales Ops? We’re usually left to figure it out ourselves. Piecing things together in between meetings. Googling tutorials late at night. Carrying everyone else’s growth on our shoulders while our own takes a backseat.

It doesn’t have to be that way. And that’s why Sales Ops Society exists: to create career development that’s finally designed with you in mind.

The Hidden Truth About Women in Sales Ops

If you’ve been in Sales Ops for any length of time, this will sound familiar:

  • You’re the behind-the-scenes problem solver.
  • You’re the one who makes the system work, keeps projects moving, and connects all the dots.
  • But when training budgets get approved, Sales Ops is rarely on the radar.

And that gap doesn’t just limit skills. It chips away at confidence. It makes you feel less visible. It reinforces the idea that you’re here to support everyone else, that your career growth doesn’t matter as much as everyone else’s.

The truth is this: you and your career deserve the same attention, support, and personalized training as much as anyone else.

Why Generic Training Doesn’t Work

Here’s the reality: every department gets training that’s made specifically for them.

  • Sales teams have coaching that covers their entire workflow from prospecting to closing.
  • Leaders get development designed to help them manage people, influence decisions, and step into bigger roles.
  • Marketing and finance have specialized learning tracks that focus deeply on what they need to succeed.

And that is great for them. But here’s where it leaves us in Sales Ops:

We are expected to know all of that. We need to understand how sales sells, how leaders make decisions, how marketing builds the funnel, and how finance looks at numbers. On top of that, we juggle systems, processes, analytics, reporting, cross-functional projects, and all the moving parts that keep revenue running.

And yet… none of the training is designed for us. We end up learning what others need us to know so we can help them implement it, instead of having a space that says: this is for you.

Imagine if You Had a You

Here’s a question worth asking: what if you had a you?

Think about the power of what you do. You’re the one who makes sure everyone else is supported, prepared, and ready to shine. Now imagine someone gave you that same kind of support.

What if you had:

  • Training built around your role instead of content borrowed from another department.
  • A safe place to ask questions without fear of judgment.
  • A community of women who get the exact challenges you face.
  • A roadmap for growth that applies to both your professional and personal development.

That’s what career development could look like when it’s designed specifically for women in Sales Ops.

What Career Development Built for Women in Sales Ops Could Look Like

When development is designed for Sales Ops, it finally matches your reality.

  • Relevant skills: training on the systems, analytics, and workflows you touch every day.
  • Confidence-building: guidance to speak up, own your ideas, and influence leadership.
  • Community: a supportive group where women in Ops can share experiences and celebrate wins.
  • Practical application: workshops that connect directly to your real-world projects.

And here’s the best part. These aren’t skills you use once and forget. They are skills you carry with you into your next role, your next opportunity, and your entire career.

Reframing Growth: Why You Are Worth It

Most of us explain growth in terms of everyone else:

  • “If I learn this, I’ll help my team.”
  • “If I take this course, leadership will get better reports.”
  • “If I know this skill, I’ll make someone else’s job easier.”

And yes, all of that is true. When you grow, everyone benefits.

But here’s the shift. That cannot be the only reason you invest in yourself.

Because you are not just here to serve. You are here because you are brilliant, capable, and worthy of your own growth.

And when you start saying, “I’m learning this for me,” everything changes.

  • You stop waiting for permission.
  • You stop apologizing for investing in yourself.
  • You start showing up with more confidence and energy.

You are allowed to learn simply because you want to. Because you deserve it. Because your career, your confidence, and your future matter.

The Ripple Effect of Tailored Development

When you step into development designed for you, the ripple effect is undeniable:

  • For you personally: more confidence, clarity, and visibility.
  • For your career: transferable skills that open doors and accelerate growth.
  • For your company: stronger systems and smoother processes, this time fueled by your growth first.

Everyone wins when you grow. But the most important part? You win and that’s what matters most.
