"I plan to contribute to your profitability through hard work, strategy, tenacity, and paying close attention to the needs of my customers. I have solid results in my most recent position and look forward to bringing these same successes to Procter and Gamble. I'm encouraged by the fact that P&G says it hires based on the potential leadership sees in people - that easily leads to new ideas, entrepreneurial thinking, and disrupting the status quo. That's exactly the kind of approach I've taken in my career, and I look forward to continuing that mindset."

"My first step would be to examine current performance against KPIs and then develop a 30-, 60- and 90-day plan for how I can help Procter and Gamble achieve, and even exceed them. I have a solid history of identifying strong lead measures that help support overall organizational strategies, and then leading a team to achieve those measures."

Prior to your interview, put some serious thought into how the role you are interviewing for at Procter and Gamble will have an influence on eventual product sales to consumers. Be creative in your thought process and your answer. Be sure to reiterate to your interviewer that you are aware of the importance that product sales have on the bottom line of the organization.

"I plan to increase profitability by first understanding what the KPIs, goals, and expectations are for me on the team. Knowing what I need to do to ensure the team and company are successful is an important foundation. From there, I would ensure I had all the training and tools I needed to be successful in achieving that goal. For example, if the company used a CRM that I was unfamiliar with, I would make sure that I attended all of the training necessary to be effective in using the tool. I would be committed to my individual contributions and supporting the team to ensure profitability."
