March 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Zars Media (http://www.zarsmedia.com/) has today named the Best Women In Sales for the Indian version of the global awards. The event recognised women in sales across India and saw leading organisations in India including Thomson Reuters, Nike, Capgemini, American Express, Marsh, Intel etc making nominations for the competition.

Afi Ofori, Managing Director of Zars Media, commented “If talent is not recognized, does that mean it does not exist? Of course it doesn’t, but in our fast-moving world the everyday brilliance of gifted saleswomen often goes unnoticed. Using the Women In Sales Awards as a platform, we hope to change this by identifying and celebrating the women driving businesses forward in India”

She went on to say, “I would like to thank all the companies that nominated participants. They are showing their support for the talented women in their sales teams. We hope more companies will nominate for the 2016 event.”
