Hiring Manager
Dear Hiring Manager:
I suspect you’ll find very few candidates with a background such as mineand it’s one I’d
like to put to work on your behalf. As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, the depth of my
experience in sales offers you the opportunity to hire a real pro who needs little training
and who is comfortable and successful with prospecting, business canvassing,
networking, referral-based business generation, building, maintaining, and fully
developing long-term relationships with my client base, various forms of lead generation
and multiple advertising channels.
Having worked as a sales representative in a variety of industries, I have the background
to construct sales presentations that will turn interest into revenue for you and your
company. It is only due to the long-term economic volatility (resulting in downsizing,
layoffs, mergers, and business failures) that I have held positions at numerous companies.
However, it is this fact that allows me to offer you such an unusual breadth of experience.
I have over 20 years of full-time real-life work experience interacting with clients, co-
workers, and sources of referral business. This means lots and lots of experience:
Prospecting
Appointment setting
Initial Meetings
Building Rapport with new clients
Interviewing to uncover needs and assets
Conducting Presentations and Seminars
Creating the need and then Selling the Benefits
Overcoming Objections
Closing Sales
Client Appreciation activities
Maintaining long-term client relationships
A personal interview would allow me to demonstrate my talents. I look forward to
hearing from you so that we can schedule a meeting. With your hiring deadline fast
approaching, perhaps I can simplify this difficult decision with a brief review of what I
can accomplish for you:
New Business Development: Like the 36 new customers I’ve brought in during the
last 3 months alone. Growing American Home Group from one person, myself, to
a total of 36 employees and a total of 4 companies.
Profitable Growth: Like the 21 percent profit margin and 900% revenue increase
from 1996-2006 that I maintained for over 11 years as the President and sole
owner of American Home Group.
Leadership: Growing American Home Group from one person, myself, to a total of
36 employees and a total of 4 companies.
I have not concealed my excitement at the prospect of working with you because it’s the
same enthusiasm I bring to my sales efforts and to supporting my co-workers in their
efforts.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to influence your decision in my
favor because I want to work for a leader and I truly believe your company is the perfect
fit for me.
Sincerely,
Donald L. Dyer, Jr.
