Question 23 of 25

At Company ABC, we challenge ourselves to improve people's health. When is a time you've pushed and challenged yourself outside your comfort zone?

"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 on 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 sales person. 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!"

      For example: "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."
