Example:
"In my previous role as a Spa Manager, we were facing a decline in revenue due to increased competition. I conducted a market analysis and identified a gap in our service offerings. I introduced a new line of premium spa packages and collaborated with local businesses for cross-promotions. Additionally, I trained staff on upselling techniques and improved our online booking system for better customer convenience. As a result, we saw a 20% increase in monthly revenue and a 15% boost in customer retention over six months. This experience taught me the importance of innovation and strategic partnerships in driving business growth."
