In this blog post, we will introduce specific ways to write a practical sales self-introduction letter based on your thrifty nature and meticulous personality, which values even the smallest office supplies.
Growth
As a child, I was a kid who always took good care of my school supplies and knew how to treat things with respect. I wasn’t so poor that I had to be careful with every little thing I used. However, my parents emphasized that people who can’t take care of even the smallest things won’t change just because they handle expensive items, so I was able to develop a spirit of thrift and a loving heart. I also remember putting all my pocket money, which was easy to overlook, into a piggy bank, and at the end of the year, visiting the bank with my parents to exchange it for bills, which we then used to help the less fortunate. If I hadn’t developed the habit of saving, the money that would have slipped through my fingers like sand would have remained as a meaningful weight in the Salvation Army pot, and it was very strange to watch.
As a girl, I also wanted to buy cute fancy goods, diaries, stickers, and other items like my friends to decorate my room, but I always felt guilty about wasting money on decorations that I couldn’t use in my daily life, so I hesitated and gave up. If I could have gained sufficient satisfaction from doing so, I could have invested as much as I wanted, but I was keenly aware that it was simply a feeling of inferiority that made me envy things I didn’t have, and that once my curiosity was satisfied, I would inevitably throw them away. Items that I bought without going through this careful consideration process always pricked my conscience and irritated me, so I tended to be cautious when making purchases.
School life
It was a time when I was careful not to be influenced by the culture of my peers and consume indiscriminately to satisfy desires that I did not even want. Due to the nature of adolescence, when one is easily influenced by friends, I was unable to distinguish between “envy” and “true desire,” and I would buy things because I envied my friends, thinking, “I want what my friend has.” and soon felt guilty about it. It was much harder to be tormented by my own feelings of inadequacy than to be criticized by my parents for my bad spending habits, so I was very careful not to buy things I would regret. This became the basis for my careful spending habits.
However, I did invest sufficiently in school supplies and hobby items that I truly wanted and wanted to spend money on. It is a very good thing to save money that is easily wasted and use it for a more distant vision, but my parents taught me that it is wrong to deny yourself the things you truly want and live only for the purpose of saving money. My parents always emphasized that it is clearly different to refrain from consumption that does not bring satisfaction commensurate with the investment and to label even what you sincerely desire and hope for as “worthless consumption” and misrepresent your true feelings. They taught me that it is important to use money carefully and sparingly, but when it is time to let go, it is better to do so. I have tried hard to follow their advice.
Strengths and weaknesses
I am a person who tries to make careful decisions without overlooking or ignoring even the smallest things. People often overlook things that do not have great value or a relatively low presence, but I believe that it is important to pay attention to such small things in order to achieve ambitious goals. Just as collecting a few coins left in your wallet can add up to a considerable amount of money, and small efforts made every day can become the key to developing your abilities, I believe that even the biggest dreams start with small steps. Gradually, a chain of cause and effect continues, expanding into something much greater.
My personality, which pays attention to even the smallest details and calculates everything, has sometimes been described as “meticulous but too compulsive.” However, I have proven my abilities in practice by not missing even the smallest opportunities and putting effort into finishing things that could easily be overlooked, which has allowed me to always achieve my goals.
Outlook on life
I want to live a life of meticulous attention to detail and careful consideration to minimize problems. I have always pushed myself to not overlook even the smallest details, which has allowed me to reduce unexpected situations and mistakes and further increase the trust placed in me and the quality of my work. Some people have criticized me for being too sensitive and meticulous, trying to put the brakes on my perfectionism, but my keen eye for spotting flaws that others easily overlook has enabled me to achieve greater stability in my performance, and this is why I have been able to maintain my principles until now.
Of course, these habits are not always easy or pleasant, and sometimes I find myself compromising and thinking, “This is good enough.” However, the more I do so, the more I show my passion by maintaining a firm stance and never giving up.
Career
I joined an office supplies manufacturer and gained six months of office experience. After three months of training as a sales assistant, I started working in the field and was able to establish three years of work experience, gaining know-how through hands-on experience.
Reason for applying and aspirations after joining the company
When I was a child, I was aware that even school supplies had their own value and existence, and my parents taught me to develop proper consumption habits so that I would not treat them as worthless consumables just because they were inexpensive. As a result, even after entering the workforce, I have been able to maintain a humble attitude of respecting and conserving every piece of equipment. Rather than rationalizing waste with a lax attitude that “it’s not much anyway,” I am aware of the importance of saving even the smallest amount, as it will add up over time. I was deeply impressed by your company’s spirit of always taking the lead in developing products that are inexpensive but offer functionality and value beyond their price, which led me to apply for this position.
If I am given the opportunity to work at your company, I will not rush into sales to achieve my goals, but will pursue a strategy of slowly permeating the market with small but meaningful publicity and product promotions. Just as office supplies are indispensable items that are always needed in the office and are essential for work, but whose importance is sometimes forgotten, I want to engage in sales with a consistent presence.
