Hated for being top sales person

Oof.

One of the problems with workplace sexism is unless it's something actually saying sexist stuff, it's so hard to really prove. It may or not be there. Frankly, it probably is though knowing how most workplaces work. There's also the chance it's a personality issue. Or both. I dunno how you work.

Find some allies. It is unlikely everyone dislikes you equally - is anyone ever nice to you? If you're the top performer, what can you do to turn someone who is at least... less hostile into a supporter? Being the top means you must have some power.

And the other thing is to talk this out with your boss. Your boss may not be sympathetic, but can also be blunt about his opinion of how the department treats you.

It seems your options are either to maintain your high standards and pursuit of excellence or dumb yourself down and be "one of the boys". I say to stick with the high standards.

I don't think that's why you're hated... How are you interacting with your colleagues? I suspect something's up with your attitude

You know what they say ... "cry all the way to the bank". In sales, your paycheck depends on your sales and top producers often make more than their bosses. I have been there. Mellowed with age and in a different line of work now but I remember those days. Cash the paychecks and soldier on.

as a salesperson you’ve probably heard of the “winners, losers and spectator” theory? Losers are always trying to bring down the winner and misery likes company ... keep closing those deals!
