"Several years ago, I graduated from college with a degree in finance. Given my outgoing nature, passion for investing, and interest in building relationships with others, I knew that I was cut out for financial sales so I applied and interviewed with several fintech startups that provided investment research and analytics to their customers. One of them seemed like a great fit, so I decided to cut my teeth there as a junior sales representative where I spent the majority of my days calling and talking to prospects in the finance industry. I started to establish a network of connections, and after a few years, new sales hires began coming to me for guidance and help. As a result, I discovered a desire and aptitude for leading and managing others. Now that it's time for me to progress in my career, I'm very interested in your fintech sales manager position because I know that my background and experience will allow me to excel."
