Dear Ms. Cindy Hill -
I have spent the first several years of my career in the commercial construction industry,
managing sales personnel and customer service individuals to help meet our customer’s
deadlines and demands. It was a rewarding and innovative industry in which to work,
and am looking to continue my career to this passion. As an opportunist, I believe this is
the ideal time to continue to connect with the industry in the Marketing Coordinator role.
In addition to my academic and professional sales backgrounds, I am confident my strong
communication skills, both written and oral, will prove to be an effective talent in my
repertoire of skills. I possess a distinct ability to cultivate client interest through a
welcoming disposition, while simultaneously remaining concise and on-point. Using this
approach, I have been able to build a strong, sizeable clientele base throughout my career
in sales and marketing to steadily increase sales quotes for me and meet management
quotas set for me.
My sales background with a Fortune 200 manufacturer in PPG Industries, which works
very closely with the construction industry with glass, glazing, architectural coatings
(both commercial and residential), in addition to my bachelor’s degree in Business
Management and Marketing equally prepare me for success at a new challenge.
Similarly, I excel in team-centered environments through my ability to multi-task,
problem solve with critical thinking, and encourage synergy of individual strengths. I am
a fast-paced learner, and am motivated by goal-oriented challenges; this mindset has been
useful in my positions as sales person and sales manager, hitting quotas set for me each
year up to a $15MM dollar territory.
For your additional consideration, I have included a resume’ of my previously held
positions that have prepared me for a new and challenging field. I have strong references
upon request. Should you have anything further questions, please feel free to contact me
at your convenience. Thank you, and I look forward to speaking with you again very
soon!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey P. Cavett
