Dear Hiring Manager;

In the competitive world we live in today, great sales skills,

excellent business management, superior customer service, follow-up, and

attention to detail are a must. Choosing the right professional to assist

you in sales, management and company promotion is essential.

My experiences in management, sales, marketing, and customer service

have taught me to look through the eyes of the customer and realize what I

would expect if I were in that position. Helping the customer attain the

best value with the initial transaction is only part of the bigger picture.

Customer service after the sale is critical to everything from repeat

business to referral business, to the sale of additional products.

I am a business professional who loves the thrill of the sale. I use

professionalism and awesome customer follow-up to not only attain the sale

but to ensure a repeat customer in the future.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Chris L. Lash
