How to Answer
Share a skill that is something that doesn't involve much strengthening. Discuss how you realized it was a skill that needed improvement. Then talk about how you are working to improve it and if you have sought out others to help you with your improvement.

Answer Example
"I am currently working on more ways to boost my average sale. I almost always hit my monthly goal but want to build on my average sale as this will allow me to nurture the sale more. I will be able to establish a stronger relationship with each client and therefore retain them for longer."
