To effectively sell a new energy product, I would first conduct thorough research on the potential client to understand their needs and concerns. Then, I would tailor my presentation to focus on how our product meets those specific needs, emphasizing its unique benefits and how it aligns with sustainable practices.

I would remain calm and patient, actively listen to the customer's concerns, and empathize with their situation. I’d ask clarifying questions to fully understand their issue and work to resolve it, making sure they felt heard and valued throughout the process.

I thrive on the challenge of setting and achieving goals. The idea of contributing to a sustainable future through energy solutions truly excites me, and each sale feels like a victory that drives me to improve and succeed further.
