Sample answer
“At my internship with a local retail company, I analyzed customer purchase data using Salesforce. I identified that customers who engaged with our email campaigns had a 20% higher retention rate. Based on this, I proposed a targeted re-engagement email campaign for inactive customers. This initiative led to a 15% increase in re-engagement within three months, demonstrating the power of data in driving customer loyalty.”
