Evaluation:

Your answer demonstrates relevant experiences in market research and lead generation, but it lacks clarity and structure, making it difficult for the interviewer to fully understand your points.

Evaluation:

1. Clarity: Your response is somewhat convoluted and could benefit from clearer articulation. Phrases like "the case of in Bond logistics" and "small all things we need to consider" are difficult to follow.

2. Structure: Your answer needs a more logical flow. Start with a brief overview of your market research experiences, then discuss lead generation strategies separately, providing concrete examples for each.

3. Detail: While you mention conducting research papers, you don't specify what findings were significant or how they impacted business decisions. Additionally, mentioning lead generation techniques like "calling," "outreach," and "answering" lacks context. Provide examples of successful campaigns or the tools you used.

Improvement Suggestions:

- Start by briefly explaining your market research experience, focusing on key projects and insights you gained from the waste industry.
- Transition into your lead generation tactics. Specify how you identify and approach potential clients (e.g., using CRM tools, attending industry events, leveraging social media).
- Include quantitative outcomes or tangible results of your efforts when possible, illustrating the effectiveness of your strategies.

Revised Example:

"In my previous role, I conducted extensive market research in the waste industry, focusing on trends and consumer needs. This resulted in two research papers that highlighted opportunities for growth. For lead generation, I utilized CRM platforms to track potential clients and employed targeted outreach through email campaigns, phone calls, and networking. One campaign led to a 30% increase in qualified leads over six months."
