Dear potential employer,
For the past twenty years I have been working in and learning about the sales industry. Sales is not a
science but rather an art in which I have been refining for my entire life. In addition to the art of
selling I also pride myself in having the exceptional ability to manage people and develop a sales
force.
My most recent management experience was with The Talking Phone Book where I was chosen to
be a part of the management team and assist in building the largest Yellow Page / Digital media
division owned by Hearst media. Through my years of dedicated service I held many responsibilities
ranging from single handedly launching and running remote offices to participating in and organizing
product roll outs of several cutting edge marketing products that are revolutionizing the way
businesses advertise today. My exceptional track record with The Talking Phone Book was
recognized on several occasions and awarded me the prestigious status of presidents club member.
As a sales rep prior to management I consistently ranked in the first quartile. My ranking in the final
year leading into management was #1 for new sales, #5 for net increase, #2 for low cancellation, #5
for best aging. Similar results will be found on the conclusion of the majority of sales canvasses that
I worked resulting in my qualifying for top bonus several times.
Clearly I have demonstrated both my management and selling ability. With my advanced technical
background (see attached resume) I believe I have the tools to prove myself a valuable asset within
a goal driven organization.
I believe based on the qualifications that I bring to the table that I possess the knowledge along with
the skills necessary to deliver results and would like to schedule a personal interview at a time that
would be the most convenient for you.
Sincerely,
Carl Mazziotti
