Why have you chosen to work as a Sales Associate?

"Ever since I was young, I knew that I had a natural ability for sales. I worked as an ice-cream re-seller when I was just 12 years old. I had a cooler full of ice that I attached to my bicycle! I would ride to the neighborhood park after school and offer the goodies to the neighborhood kids for 2 each. I absolutely loved the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day when my ice-cream inventory was all sold and I could count all of the money I made. I continue to apply that same excitement when hitting my sales goals as a Sales Associate. I love that feeling I get when I complete a sale or exceed my targets."
