"I was working with clinics in my territory to promote our medical devices and kept hearing that our competitor was offering a better product that was more tech-savvy. I brought this feedback back to our R & D team but also had an idea of how we could differentiate ourselves from our competitor's product. I did a bunch of research on how to engineer something like this, even though that is far out of my scope as a salesperson. I was then put on a project team to explore actually developing this upgraded product. Our team was able to research, design and launch a product that my physicians were so excited about. It was the most challenging and rewarding experience!"

"In college, we were given an assignment to create a marketing proposal for a local business. I did a mix of traditional and digital. I had seen a new technology mentioned the day before on a blog I subscribe to and even though my project was due in 2 days, I decided to research everything I could find on this new automation technology. I didn't sleep the night before the project was due, but adding this new technology really made my project stand out."
