You're looking for motivated, success-driven individuals? In need of
someone who seeks first to understand, and then be understood? Someone who
knows a costumer doesn't want to be sold to, but wants to buy on their own
volition? Someone who knows how to pitch, then move out of the way, neither
under-selling nor over-selling? Someone who's not selling a thing, but
helping to improve the quality of life and business for potential clients?
I understand what truly matters during these most trying times: people want
to know that their money is well spent, and that reciprocity is just a
matter of doing business with us opposed to dealing with the competition.
Simply put, they want to be informed.
Concise and to the point:
I am highly motivated by my desire to become successful. This desire haunts
me night and day, serving as a catalyst for my ever-present enthusiastic
demeanor and positive out-look on life.
I believe and am confident in the "Art" of selling. I feel salespeople have
a direct effect on our economy - an economy in dire need of rejuvenation. I
believe entirely that when the salesperson makes the deal or helps a
customer or client to "influence themselves" to buy, make an order, or
invest auspiciously in their future, that we, in fact, align the stars of
job security around the globe for our fellow Homo Sapians. Yes, we are the
movers and shakers of the world.
Moreover, I have the pedigree. I hail from a family that literally depended
upon and survived off of their ability to market themselves and the
products they had to offer. They were sharecroppers.
Along with these traits, you'll find me verbally engaging, capable of
conversing with people of diverse backgrounds, races, socio-economics,
religions, sexes, et cetera; bringing along with me the tenacity and
determination to perform at levels recognized and praised by those
positioned in the upper echelon of your company; continuing to sharpen the
proverbial saw with such tools as: Secrets of Closing the Sale (Zig
Ziglar), Art of Making the Deal (Donald Trump), Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People (Steven Covey), Fierce Conversations (Susan Scott). Also,
I welcome any tutorages, classes, or handed-down sagacity your company has
to offer.
Hiring me means hiring ambition, perseverance, resilience. I'm a bather
awashed in the philosophy: "Follow your bliss and the universe will open
doors where there were only walls." - Joseph Campbell.
This philosophy I took with me week in and week out, 4 days/week into Sam's
Club, where many found me representing my former employer ZipFizz Corp.,
promoting the sales of their signature product: ZipFizz Healthy Energy Mix.
8 months in service and ZipFizz was the hottest selling item in the
pharmacy; out-selling products such as: Joint Juice, Advil, Tylenol, Alka
Seltzer, and the list goes on! Though I attribute this success to such a
quality product, I must add that it is my very own belief and conviction in
this product - that it adds quality to lives - that truly sells.
I don't have to explain how trying it is to move an "energy drink" during
such an arduous economic environment. But one thing is for sure, if you
want someone who looks forward to the challenges this industry presents;
someone who looks forward to lowering, breaking through the walls of sales
resistance one will inevitably encounter - someone who's already battling
in the field...
I sincerely appreciate you considering me for this position, and I ardently
await your response.
Chadrick S. Robinson.
