"In my current position I am expected to cold call 100 customers per week. Most of our associates will break this down into 20 per day, five days per week. What has attributed greatly to my success in this role is that I call 50 customers each day for the first two days and then have time to make additional calls throughout the week. This effort generally equals a 25% surplus of cold calls to my portfolio. I am always ahead of target by going over and above that cold calling schedule."

ZCP project. Early development of the tools, development of the work plan early. Weekly check-in about the progress. Completed the project 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
Amanda's Feedback
It sounds like this was a successful project; however, you haven't shared enough information for the interviewer to fully understand the scope or impact of the project. Sharing more helps demonstrate your high level of expertise. Consider explaining the nature and scope of the project in more detail so that they understand why it was a big achievement to finish ahead of schedule.
