Dear Hiring Manager, Human Resources
Upon discovering this opportunity I wasted no time in applying. I am
looking for a career with an organization where I can further my growth
professionally and this position for your company is a role I know I could
fulfill very well. I am a hardworking individual who believes in the value
of streamlining to find practical solutions for unconventional problems.
Throughout my work history I have always strived to maintain strong
customer care practices by implementing honest business relationships.
The oil and gas industry is where I want my career to lead, instilled
from my desire to be part of a business with limitless growth and
opportunity. Energy drives all the means of human kind and is an
appreciating asset that is always in need. This continually keeps the
energy sector a sustainable business that is worth investing in. In earlier
past roles I have gleaned insight into this industry; as a surveyor helping
to determine the precise locations for drilling potential wells for Amar
Surveys and by building custom, specialized cables for use in the oil patch
field in both rig and communications equipment for MRO Electronics. In my
more recent roles, as this market is very competitive, I have come to learn
the value of sales as a driving force in all businesses. As a result of
this, I have progressively honed my sales skills in order to continually
grow my employer's business and perform consistently using three different
sales methodologies:
Avalon Sales Training: New home sales practice that quickly qualifies
buyers, controls the sales process and creates a purchasing environment
while building relationships.
. Closed multiple deals from first contact to selections, deposit,
mortgage approval and firm sale.
Janek Sales: A needs based selling model that elevates the salesman to the
client's trusted advisor.
. Secured clients through proposals for: lot structure, development and
technology upgrades.
Motivational Interviewing: A practice that allows the customer to realize
alone why they should purchase.
. Grew housing portfolio to hold 101+ rental properties.
While I find these skills very effective, I am always eager to learn and
would welcome working with new techniques.
Great organizations are built when there is an amalgamation of
the company's needs with the
employee's desire to achieve them. This is a company in which I believe I
can attain this kind of job satisfaction while continually meeting the
organizations goals. I have extensive experience in playing a crucial role
in a team environment while managing my department independently. I am a
confident person instilled with compassion, which is reflected day to
day in the way of mutual respect and integrity, created through the
relationship I uphold with my coworkers. Through ethical negotiations and a
commitment to practice what I preach, I have played an integral role in
expanding my former employer's business and would now like to bring that
same passion to your organization.
I have attached my resume along with three reference letters that will
speak to the sincerity and quality of my work. I am interested in learning
more about the position with your organization and I would greatly
appreciate meeting with you to further discuss my suitability. I can be
contacted via cell: 403-***-**** or e-mail: abmgnx@r.postjobfree.com.
Sincerely,
Omar Puri
