Dear Human Resources Director:
I was excited to learn of the position you have available with your
company. As you can see from my resume, I have almost twelve years
experience in one of the most competitive markets in the United States,
pharmaceutical sales.
Almost from the beginning of my sales career, I set records marketing
Lorabid and Prozac and becoming Eli Lilly's number one Lorabid sales
representative. After joining U.S. Pharmaceuticals in 1999, I have
consistently been the Number One Sales Representative in the South Georgia
area, maintaining profitable account relationships with over 750
physicians. In fact, because I am aware that a physician values his time
and does not appreciate anyone who wastes it with distracting, extraneous
information, I organized a sales tool for rapid presentation that was
accepted company wide with U.S. Pharmaceuticals and increased my own sales
dramatically. My marketing style has also been to establish pleasant
relationships with office managers and others who might be an avenue to
establishing accounts and closing sales.
Because a successful career can never be fully explored in a brief
resume, I am requesting a personal or telephone interview to further
discuss how my qualifications would match your needs. You may reach me at
the above address, telephone numbers, or e-mail address. I look forward to
hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Bion L. Williams
