A practical exercise for your first sales support assistant application

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Make one small example of work you can explain in an interview.

Before applying, take 30 minutes to draft a follow-up for a quotation that has received no reply. Use invented names and details so your example can be shared. The goal is to show how you organise the work, what you check and when you would ask someone for help.

Write a short explanation

Beside your example, record the enquiry, requested date and next action. Add a sentence that explains how you checked your work. Take the example to an interview if it would help explain your approach. Describe it as a practice exercise and follow the employer’s instructions if they ask for their own assessment.
