RESPONSE TO SELECTION CRITERIA
1. Enjoys being creative, willing to take initiative and embrace new
ideas
As a business development professional, it is always very important that the business
processes are at first understood in details, in relation the specific business. It is very
important that the various aspects of the businesses operations and the intricacies of the
product features are learned in the initial stages and wherever I have worked previously in the
sales teams along with the team leaders and with the other business development executives –
I have applied my interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to full effect in order to always take
the right initiative in a right time and this, I have realized over these years, are the most
intricate attributes to gain success. In the first company where I worked, when I was just
starting with my career and it was difficult for me to mingle with others in the team but as
time passed, I gradually developed my communication and interpersonal skills to speak out
my opinions to the managers and the team leaders and I realized that taking an initiative was
really a very way of developing professional relationships with my seniors and also with my
colleagues that helped me further down the line to increase my personal productivity and
skills in the upcoming months. It is highly as well to listen to the opinion of others and
having an empathic and compassionate approach towards others and embracing the ideas of
other professionals and most importantly understanding the opinions from their perspective is
the most important aspect of being a team mate effectively and supporting the team members
in a honest manner to the best way to reach a consensus and sustain a team. I developed new
sales strategies in my previous companies that really impressed my managers and helped to
increase the productivity of the team for a long period of time.

2. Proven ability to collaborate and achieve goals within a diverse team
environment
In the second and the third organization that I worked, I learned the very importance
of developing a collaborative attitude in order to effectively collaborate with others and it
is highly important to create and develop a collective perception towards an organisation
and team success at a collective level. Helping the productivity of others and having an
empathic approach and also a compassionate approach in the relationship building with
other business professionals in the team and with the managers and with the team
members – is critical to development of mutual respect for each other. It is vital to listen
to the opinions of others in a very active manner and having a genuine regard for the
opinion of others is an important way to collaborate with the other professionals in the
team. Effective active listening skills, motivational skills and good problem solving skills
are very important to collaborate with other and it is very being a sales professional, to
have patience and critical thinking skills in order to reason the logic of the peers and of
the client s as well. Taking feedback from others and taking opinions from others telling
others that their ideas, ideologies and opinions are respected are very important means of
developing a positive relation with the colleagues, team leaders and senior managers.
Freedom of thinking is important and it is being crucial to have a flexible mindset in order
to collaborate effectively with the other members of team. In the team meetings and in the
strategic planning sessions it is very crucial to develop a more competent interaction
skills with the right and acceptable body language, posture and tone of the voice should
also be modulated in order to meet the communication needs of the situation. As different
colleagues were from culturally diverse background, it is important to communicate
verbally and non-verbally with a culturally competent language in order to effectively
collaborate.

3. Outstanding interpersonal skills, able to build relationships with
clients and colleagues
In the second last organisation I worked, in my team there was a colleague of mine
who was really disturbed for not meeting his monthly target and it was critical that he
should meet his target otherwise he will be sacked in the next month. Highly important
that the person who understand the selling skills that is required to work in the domain we
were at that point of time and that is why, the manager and the two team leaders were
greatly involved in nurturing his selling skills but somehow they were not able to
intrinsically or extrinsically motivate him to improve his selling skills and it is highly
important that he should understand the features of the product first before selling the
same to the clients. He was really distressed and it was his family who was in health
related trouble and he had to keep his job anyhow. I decided to counsel him and did the
same as well for about three days in a row and my managers appreciated me for taking
the step in building a strong professional relationship with my colleague thus being able
to better his skills. I gave him English spoken classes and taught him the soft skills as
well which are required to develop a more proper skill in the field of sales and marketing.
Showing my interpersonal skills, I solved his problem And boosted his confidence and he
could do good afterwards from then. A client of mine was really worried about having
bought the product and started to rethink whether he made the right choice or not and then
in the post sales follow I had an 1 hour meeting with him telling him more about the
quality about the product and it would suit his needs imperatively – made my professional
relationship stronger with the client.

4. Ability to identify problems and apply a logical approach to finding
solutions
Different clients have different needs and have different desires and expectation in relation to
a certain product. There are different products again in the same price range and in the high
range as well that complicates the matter further. The biggest problem that I faced as retail
and a business to client salesman is what product is more suited to a certain client or to family
of the client. The social, economic and the cultural background and standing of the client as
well as the needs and expectations in addition to the positive perception of the client or
negative perception of the client in terms of a certain product is critical to be noted and then
as a salesman, a good salesman, it is critical to make the client understand why a certain
product in a certain price range is absolutely apt for the client and his family as well and how
in a very holistic way – the product can change the level of comfort or ease in his life. The
values and the quality of the product is critical that the client should be told about it and if
after buying the product, if the client has any query or complain, it is vital to address the
problems of the client or the queries of the client about the product, with due query or
respect. Problem solving is directly proportional to decisio0n making and over the years
being a sales person always learning some things new and applying myself in a more
effective manner – I have improved my problem solving skills immensely.
