Money Talks: Getting Paid What You’re Worth in Telecoms

A practical discussion on closing the gender pay gap in telecoms, understanding salary, commission, bonuses and equity, and gaining the confidence to negotiate fair reward. The panel shares actionable advice on researching benchmarks, challenging unfair targets and building a strong business case.

In telecoms, confidence at the negotiating table can be just as important as technical expertise, commercial results, or leadership potential. Episode 5 of the Women in Telecoms series, Money Talks: Getting Paid What You’re Worth in Telecoms, tackles the conversations too often left unsaid: salary, commission, bonuses, equity, and fair reward.

Across a 30-minute discussion, Lauren Croxson, Senior Sales Director UK & EU at Sangoma and Co-Chair of WiT, is joined by Nicola Skorko, Talent & Profitability Advisor; Anya Brown, Senior Lead Consultant at Fuel Recruitment; and Joana Filipe, Head of People and Culture at Vorboss.

Together, the panel brings perspectives from sales, recruitment, people leadership and senior commercial advisory roles to explore how women can advocate for compensation that reflects their contribution.

The discussion will cover:

  • What the gender pay gap in telecoms means in practice

  • How base salary, bonus, commission and equity fit together

  • Approaching salary negotiations with confidence in male-heavy environments

  • Whether quotas, sales targets and rewards are being set fairly

  • How to research market benchmarks and evidence your value

  • Building a compelling case for a raise, promotion or revised package

For women navigating male-heavy environments, this is a timely reminder that negotiation is not about asking for a favour. It is about having a clear, evidence-led conversation about impact, opportunity and fair reward.
