COVER LETTER

My name is Clifton Louis and I have recently been laid off as a Lighting

and Controls Manufacturer's Representative here in the State of Arizona.

For the past ten years, I have been the company's lead Specifications

Salesman calling on over 50 firms here in the Metro Phoenix area primarily

Consulting Electrical Engineering firms, Architectural MEP firms, Lighting

Design firms as well as City and County Municipalities.

I am seeking employment as a Western Regional Sales Manager. Some of the

Manufacturers that we represented in Arizona under the Philips umbrella was

Lumec Ltg (Serge Fortin), Allscape (Tim Schafer) and Vista Medical Ltg.

(Tony Vespoli), and Strand Lighting (Christopher Dunn). Over the years as

the Arizona Rep. for these companies I have taken the Manufacturers out for

calls and set up Lighting Presentations with my clients many many times and

am very familiar with each of those companies and their Product Lines as I

have Specified their products on Projects with my clients over the past ten

years.

I am a natural 'sales' person with great communication and organizational

skills, leadership abilities and self motivating. I believe, with my

product knowledge of Philips Lumec, Allscape, Vista Healthcare and Strand

Lighting I can be a great asset and do an outstanding job in order to grow

your company and increase sales for the Western Region with Philips.

I am currently available for an interview either over the telephone and/or

in person. Please see my attached Resume for my work history and education

and background. Thank you in advance for any considerations you might have.

Sincerely,

Clifton D. Louis
