No matter the example you choose to talk about, it's most important that you explain to the interviewer the lessons that you took away from the experience. Talk about what happened, what your role was, and what you learned. If you don't have past sales experience in the fintech space, discuss a sales accomplishment in a different field or any competitive situation you've experienced. Remember to give credit to your team too.
"Within my last role, my team and I closed a large deal with a well-known fintech client. It took a lot of time and persistence to close the deal. Early on, my team and I strategized about how to maneuver our way into the sights of this company. I was put in charge of reaching out to multiple people within the company in the hopes of scheduling some demos and onsites. Many of the people I called turned me down, but ultimately I was able to gain the trust and interest of three people. I followed up consistently with them and provided helpful suggestions whenever possible. After many months, my team and I closed the deal. It was a joint effort and a joint win, but I know that my part in it was integral to its success. I took away the importance of persistence from it and will carry that lesson with me."
