Question

Write about an example from your life where you allowed yourself to be exposed to a challenging marketing or sales environment. Discuss why you allowed yourself to do so, what happened, and whether today you would allow yourself to be exposed to this challenging marketing or sales environment. No more than a paragraph.

Answer 1

Working under a challenging environment in the sales and marketing department has both positive and negative aspects. I have gathered experiences when working in the sales and marketing department of a reputed company. However, a challenging environment helps in improving the personal ability of any person. It also influences an individual to think critically about every aspect and make the decision wisely. This is why I accepted the offer of working in a challenging environment. Initially, it was difficult to understand drawbacks. I was failed to overcome the problem many times, but I never give up my patience and tried again and again. Then I realized the actual reason for failure. In sales, good communication skill is essential to overcome several challenges which I lack effectively. I embrace myself after that by repeated practices. Working on behavioral aspects is also necessary to overcome the communication problem. If I get an offer to work in a challenging environment again, I will allow myself to be exposed to that situation because a more challenging situation indicates the enhancement of a person’s experiences and ability to handle that situation.
