I am quick on my feet and can project confidence when answering a question or problem. During my last internship, I learned about the products and benefits of my employer's line of home improvement tools. I was able to use this information to help experienced contractors and consumers select the right equipment to meet their needs. I once had a customer who was interested in a package deal that was only available online. If he left the store, he would have gone to a competitor. I convinced him to give me some time, during which I called on multiple resources before finding someone who could help me give him the same offer in the store, resulting in a 1,000 tool purchase.
