There will be times as a Fintech business development representative when you place numerous calls and not a single person picks up. Or someone does pick up, only to give you a piece of their mind. Prospecting can be hard and monotonous. The interviewer needs to know that you are resilient by nature and internally motivated to keep moving forward despite any obstacles or struggles. Tell the interviewer about a challenge you have gone through (either at work or personally) and what motivated you to overcome it.
"When I was in college, my uncle hired me one summer to drum up some new business for his printing company. He asked me to cold call prospects, which was something I had never done before. It wasn't an easy job because most of the time people either hung up on me or cussed me out, but I stuck with it because I wanted to help my uncle out. I viewed it as a numbers game, figuring the more people I called, the greater the chance one or two of them would need our services. In the end, I managed to nail down a lead that resulted in a large job for my uncle. This experience showed me that I'm good at this and have the right personality for it. I don't take rejection personally, and I will stay motivated until I reach whatever target and goal I've set for myself."
