"Girl Math": The Personal and Emotional Side of Decision- Making

The interviews start by delving into the intriguing concept of "Girl Math," which reflects the often emotional and personal calculations that individuals, especially women, make when it comes to decision-making, particularly in purchasing.

Grace, Kaylee and Maria draw upon their own experiences to emphasize how conscious choices are made, often involving a sense of deserving or justifying acquisitions.

This thought-provoking insight sparks a conversation about recognizing the role of emotions in our choices and how self-awareness can lead to more empowered decisions.

Synergy between Marketing and Sales: A Harmonious Partnership
