Re: Marketing Sales Representative
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm interested in this sales position because I have a wide variety of
sales experience and I'm knowledgeable on marketing concepts from my
undergraduate studies. I have a genuine interest in sales and a strong
desire to help and connect with people. This opportunity would be an
excellent personal fit because I'm a strong communicator; self-confident,
organized, and I aspire to work in a people oriented role. I believe my
past experiences have shown that I'm a hard worker and will go the extra
mile to get the job done. Currently, I work full-time at M & I Bank and
I'm pursuing my MBA degree at Concordia University.
In addition, I have been a participant in the Community Banking Development
Program for 2008 college graduates at M & I Bank. During this professional
training program to become a personal banker, I have acquired sales banking
experience that is directly transferable to benefit other sales oriented
roles. I could see myself excelling in this position because I have
experience selling over the phone and I'm very comfortable with selling in
person. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to interview and learn
more about this job posting. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Strenger
