Dear Prospective Employer,
I suspect you’ll find very few candidates with a sales background such as mine, and it is one I’d like to put to work on your behalf.
As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, the depth of my experience in sales and sales management offers you the opportunity to hire a real pro who needs little or no training and who is comfortable and successful in the competitive world of sales.
Moreover, having worked as a sales representative, account manager, sales trainer, and sales manager in a variety of industries, and always being a “Top Producer,” will turn experience into revenue and sales for you. With my background in consumer-oriented sales, large grocery chains, dealer/distributor sales, pharmaceutical/medical sales, office equipment, wholesale grocery, product training, in-home sales, contract negotiations, heavy cold calling, repetitive sales with retailers, wholesalers, and the direct market, new and used car sales, security officer licensed and trained, gives you a seasoned sales individual with many years of successful experience. Companies that I have called on range from the very small mom and pops to huge Fortune 500 companies, including large industrial accounts, all levels of government, state and local municipalities, hospitals, clinics, physicians, B2B, in-home, and virtually every type of company at one time or another. My years of knowledge and success in sales allow me to offer you and your company an unusual breadth of experience.
A personal interview would allow me to demonstrate my talents. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can schedule a meeting.
Sincerely,
Bill
Bill McCurdy
PS: Should you be looking for a sales individual, which has always been a Top Producer, a Team Leader, and Roll Model for the company, I would appreciate the opportunity of personally meeting and discussing possible employment.
