It is hard to be a sales rep in this industry male or female. I see posts all the time about how much of a waste of time webmasters find sales reps to be unless they are schmoozing them at a show or fixing a payout issue.
I think it is harder for a female sales rep since so many of the webmasters seem to have a tainted view, due to the actions of a FEW female sales reps, about why females, particularly attractive females, are hired by affiliate programs.
While the short term gain maybe a couple of sales the long term result is that you are no longer taken seriously and it is more difficult to get respect as a business woman.
I think if you want to get attention doing things like Lori Z's dress of business cards, or just being recognized for hard work will benefit the program that you represent as well as your own reputation.
