How to sell skills in commercial banking outside?

All I can think of is analytical skills; thinking about the financial impact  and limitations of business operation; and experience working with a variety of people. I'm a PM so I spend more time making managing a portfolio - dealing with sales, compliance, and servicing depts.

It all seems so generic to me and I don't have any specific stories or scenarios that I can speak to on this.

I mostly just service the portfolio and punt everything off to the RM. Sometimes the RMs are lazy or need help in which case I would step in to mediate. I have no sales experience Just use interpersonal skills to work witch clients when needed.
