Dear Mr. Hudson:
INTRODUCTION
Sandra Smith recommended that I forward my résumé to you concerning a Sales Representative position with your company. Although currently employed as Director of Sales at Home Market, Inc., I am pursuing my long-time goal: a career in the pharmaceutical industry. FEATURES
I offer Merkx a unique background of successful experience in sales and science, with natural relationship-building and selling skills and an innate fascination for science as related to health care. My 13-year track record is characterized by consistent bottom-line contributions, exceeding sales quota, and proactive problem-solving initiatives.
BENEFITS
I am familiar with and impressed by your company’s selling and marketing strategies, and I would welcome the opportunity to join your team and increase sales by leveraging the following:
- Communication, negotiation, and closing skills-I generated $4 million in sales for Home Market’s merchants in a year.
- Ability to build trust and rapport instantly-I penetrated challenging territory, signing 25 merchants in three months, exceeding quota of 10.
- Customer service and client-retention skills-96% customer satisfaction rate. Handle full sales and customer service cycle.
- Tenacity, determination, and follow-through-commended by vendors/partners for persistence, leading to contracts.
- Entrepreneurial, self-motivated mentality-launched direct marketing initiatives. Pursued clients through networking presentations, cold calling, and account-management efforts.
- Energy and enthusiasm about product benefits to clients.
BONUS
Please note that I am fluent in Spanish and willing to travel or relocate.
ACTION
A personal meeting would be a great way for us to discuss your sales challenges and the benefits I can bring to Merkx. I can make myself available at your convenience and will call you next week to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely,
Leonard C. Geli
