Ms. Patty Jones
Vice President, Talent Development
Clarkston, MI 48348
Dear Ms. Jones,
Please do consider me for your Vice President of Business Development. As
a strategist on developing and defining sales and marketing plans, my
skills are second to none. As a natural leader and nurturer, people always
find their strength to open doors they didn't know they could. My personal
philosophy is to not bulldoze a door down, rather to turn the handle and
undo the latches until you find your way in. Simply; I am a confident
sales leader who is excellent at coordinating the sales activities needed
to keep the process going until the sale is complete. I believe as a sales
person, you need to be pro-active and held accountable for your actions.
Thus, I love sales because the results of your actions are incredibly
visible.
Professionally, I have 15 years experience in sales and marketing and love
the pursuit. My expertise is building strong, lasting relationships with
customers and being able to move people to action. As mentioned, I am also
incredibly skilled at keeping an active pipeline of new potential clients
and very good at finding ways to capture their attention.
Academically, I have a BS in Business. My focus of studies was in
Marketing and Business Administration. Both strongly influenced my
consultative approach to sales and my disciplined approach to territory
management. My demeanor is very open, approachable and compassionate, thus
I am able to quickly gain trust and rapport with customers. I am also very
organized and hard working.
Thank you for the consideration. I look forward to speaking with you and
hopefully soon, joining your team. Please do feel free to call or email
me.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robin Segard,
