An effective salesperson will describe the specifications of a product as well as promote its performance and not examples of success and customer satisfaction.  Your accomplishments are a record of success.  Employers want to know how, where, and when you used those skills.  They want to hear how you excelled in your performance.  Your accomplishments set you apart from the competition.

List your accomplishments on the blanks below.  Include any success in your life.  There are no wrong answers.  Include some accomplishments from past employment or an employment-related activity.  Include ways you improved, met a specific challenge, or saved time and money.  These may have been from your own effort or as part of a team.  When stating an accomplishment, use measures whenever possible.
