As sales professional, I know how important positive attitude and friendliness are in achieving sales goals and earning repeat business. I consistently use these skills and have earned a reputation for outstanding performance and exceeding sales and service goals. I am dedicated and committed, with a strong work ethic and self-motivation, as well as outstanding oral communication skills, listening effectively, and determining customer needs.

As my résumé would attest, my scope of responsibilities has been diverse and I know I would be bringing the following qualifications to your company:

Equally important is strong focus on ensuring positive customer contacts at all levels, both internally and externally. I have established long-term relationships and developed solid business practices that have increased sales, strengthened market positioning, and gained a secure foothold on long-term return on investment.

My résumé is enclosed to provide you with details of my skills and experience, but I am certain that a personal interview would more fully reveal my desire and ability to contribute to your organization.
