Describe a time when you had to overcome resistance or pushback from a team member or stakeholder. How did you handle it?

One time, I had to overcome resistance from a team member when I was working on a social media campaign for an e-commerce brand. The team member disagreed with the strategy I had proposed and insisted on a different approach. I handled it by listening to their concerns and explaining the rationale behind my strategy. I also took the time to understand their perspective and find common ground. In the end, we were able to reach a compromise and implement a successful campaign that met both our objectives.

In my previous role as an E-commerce Marketing Manager, I encountered resistance from a stakeholder who was skeptical about implementing a new email marketing strategy. To handle this, I scheduled a meeting with the stakeholder to understand their concerns and gather additional insights. I then presented a data-driven analysis that showcased the potential benefits of the new strategy, including increased customer engagement and higher conversion rates. I also emphasized the alignment of the strategy with industry best practices and the company's overall goals. By addressing their concerns and presenting a compelling case, I was able to gain their support and successfully implement the new email marketing strategy, which resulted in a significant increase in open rates and revenue.

As an E-commerce Marketing Manager, I encountered resistance from a team member during the implementation of a social media advertising campaign. The team member was hesitant to allocate a significant budget to social media ads and believed that traditional advertising methods would yield better results. To address this resistance, I organized a brainstorming session with the team member and other stakeholders to discuss the benefits of social media advertising and present successful case studies from similar businesses. I showcased data from our target audience research, demonstrating that our target market was highly active on social media platforms. Additionally, I proposed a phased approach, where we would start with a smaller budget and closely monitor the performance to make data-driven decisions for further budget allocation. This approach helped build trust and collaboration within the team. By continuously tracking the campaign's performance and sharing regular updates with the team member, we were able to surpass our campaign objectives and achieve a significant ROI. The team member later acknowledged the success of the campaign and became a strong advocate for future social media ad campaigns.
