Summary

I have developed strong sales skills that have enabled a record of sustained sales increases. I thrive on challenge and change, and I look forward to new opportunities to build positive customer relationships every day. If offered a position, my energy, analytic skills, organizational abilities, and creativity in tackling problems will make a positive contribution. I am equally comfortable working independently to meet company goals, as well as collaboratively as part of a team. I have always been able to establish and maintain excellent relationships with clients and coworkers at all levels. My professional skills include: Uncovering client needs and recommending appropriate products or services. Selling solutions to customers and then backing up those sales with top-quality service. Building relationships with coworkers, clients, and strategic partners. I would welcome the chance to provide you with additional information to supplement what appears in my enclosed resume. I am available for a personal interview at a scheduled time.

Please let me know if you wish to further discuss your requirements and my ability to meet them.
