In Claudia Mason keynote, The Unfair Advantage, Claudia shares the framework she builds and uses every day: how to map your sales system, document it as a living knowledge base, and automate the mechanics — so you can spend your best energy on the relationships that actually close deals. Her take? Women are already wired for this. Empathy, listening, and reading the room aren’t soft skills — they’re closing skills. And in a world rushing toward more automation, that’s the real unfair advantage.
