"I love meeting new people and problem-solving. Sales is the perfect place for me. In school, I shopped at a corner store that never seemed to have any business and was always on the brink of closing. They had incredible products, so I applied for a job as a sales advisor and sold more in a week than they had in the previous month. That helped them turn the store around and led me to my career in sales."

"I've been working in sales for ten years and have a great understanding of selling computer and peripheral equipment to the public. In the past 2 years, I have been the 693644143retail12.96sales4.04customer service2.92sales advisor1.92christmas temporary1.1510386459504087500.0025833.8759000.00YEARLY601690672025-09-012025-09-302025-08-012025-08-312025-10-05Sales Advisor of the year and increased sales in my department by 25% for each year. I love helping customers find technology solutions, advising them on upgrades and expanding their equipment. Many customers call on me specifically when they want to make a change, need advice and ask questions."

"I highly value customer service and believe that it's critical to a winning sales strategy. Your company has a reputation for great customer service, and nurturing and maintaining long-term client relationships. In a previous position, I led a customer satisfaction campaign that resulted in improved customer retention which our company was lacking."

"Teamwork creates a more cohesive workplace because we share goals and support each other. I work very well in a team environment and in the past, my small team set new goals to improve sales. By sharing experiences, ideas, and getting creative we came up with an action plan that helped us achieve our goals."

"I don't take it personally, and in the past, I've been able to find out from the customer why they said no and receive feedback in return. I've used that feedback to learn lessons about moving forward and making future sales. In the past, I've shared that information with my colleagues, and it helped to polish our presentations."

"I'm motivated to be a top performer because I want to help my customers and solve their problems with our products. So, I challenge myself to do more for them, cross-sell, up-sell and get them as enthusiastic about our products as I am."

"At the beginning of my sales career, I talked too much. While reviewing a lost sale with my supervisor, he pointed out that I was giving a sales pitch for our product line and not a pitch for a product that would solve the client's problem. I went back to the client and was given a second chance to pitch a specific product which he bought. Now, I do more active listening, repeat what I'm hearing the client say and focus my sales on solving their problem."

"I don't talk over or argue with the person. Instead, I listen and build rapport with them through empathy. I assume everyone else around is watching, I talk in a lower and slower voice and remain calm. I break the issue down into small portions and determine how we can satisfy each problem. Once a customer has vented and calmed down, I call in whatever resources I need and fix the problem."

"I think the best Sales Advisors are experts in their products and brands, are enthusiastic and positive and possess a high level of confidence and sales capabilities. Stellar communication skills are essential to get your message across, steer the conversation towards sales and read a customer's non-verbal cues. A good understanding of customer service, problem-solving, business practices and information handling is also essential."

"There's no doubt that listening is key, and I use my reflective and active listening skills. I'm friendly, approachable and ask specific questions to connect our similarities and get to know the customer better. I also mirror and match, show empathy, and share insights and experiences to add value to our relationship."
