Result
Situation
Task
Improvement
RSTI: Tell me about a time when you displayed initiative at work
RESULT: I created a real time database of sales to help managers make better decisions.
SITUATION: When I started working in the sales department, most of the sales reps would keep their own records and each of the territory managers tracked the information in their own spreadsheet. The managers provided this information to me every week and I was responsible for consolidating data into a single spreadsheet.
TASKS: Concept #1: I could see that the managers would have more complete and current information if we standardized the spreadsheet and linked it directly to the information the sales representatives entered into the system.Concept #2: I talked to my manager about why we should update the way we collected sales information and suggested how to set this up and volunteered to help him update the system. Concept #3 I worked with IT to design system that would work using Excel and Access and had the database up and running in one month.
IMPROVEMENT: They now have current information on the status of any sales prospect which helps the managers make better real time decisions.
