Manager Sales
Resume:
Dear Human Resources/Recruitment Manager,
I am writing to express my great interest in your current opening for the District Manager position for your
Vancouver office, and BC region.
After reading the job description I am very confident that the vacancy is a perfect match for my abilities
and knowledge. As you can see from my attached resume, I have relevant experience in many of the
areas that you are looking for.
I believe that I can make a valuable contribution to your organization’s future projects and initiatives and
because of my success in various multiple environments I am confident I can do the same as a member
of your team.
In my most recent employment as a Store Manager for Godiva Chocolatier I have achieved on average a
12% sales growth increase in only two years, through Corporate Sales focus with both newly generated
and existing corporate clients, as well as establishing steady sales growth in previous employments. I
have also successfully introduced new product lines, service initiatives, and recruited and trained sales
teams for multiple store locations. As a sales manager I feel that my biggest strengths are my ability to
grow revenue per customer as well as retaining existing clients by motivating service teams and ensuring
they focus on the needs of our target audience. This success has been developed through over twenty
years of management in a sales driven environment.
I would welcome an opportunity for a personal interview to discuss your organization’s needs and the
results you can expect from me in addressing those needs. Please feel free to call me on my cell phone:
