Essentially, the interviewer is asking why they should choose you over other candidates. When you pitch yourself for a role, it's important to be clear about why you are the best fit for the company, including their mission and the responsibilities or expectations. Typically, a hiring company will prefer to hire the person they believe will help them solve a problem or a pain point. Discuss how you will solve the hiring company's biggest needs, being as specific as possible.

"I understand your company is seeking a Manager with a proven ability to lead a team of field sales reps. You seek a leader who can properly train, motivate, and encourage a boost in sales numbers while providing the tools for each team member to perform at their peak ability. My experience, and past results, align very well with this need. I am an experienced sales trainer, having trained over 50 successful outside sales reps this year alone. My team's retention rate is the highest in my company. Over 80% of my team members have exceeded their goals for this quarter already. I am a passionate trainer and mentor who is very hands-on and approachable. I would love to bring these skills and traits to your company as the next Manager."

Marcie's Feedback
These are all great qualifications to have as a manager. Can you talk more specifically about what experience, accomplishments, and visionary approaches you bring to the table? Avoid being vague. Really sell yourself so the interviewer understands why they should pick you over the other candidates!
