To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my interest in an employment opportunity with Leading Marketing Firm for the position of Sports Minded Marketing/Entry Level Management. I have a passion for sports marketing and relevant experiences that I believe qualify me for this position, as well as a drive to truly start a career and develop it through the ranks.

During my internship at Statstrack I had to prospect organizations in order to impactfully sell our product via cold-calls and sales presentations. I would pitch our product to top-level decision makers such as Owners or General Managers of hockey organizations. I am comfortable going after new prospects and am driven to forge new, lasting relationships. My time with the company has also required me to build marketing proposals and informational documents for school boards, athletic directors, and prospective clients that effectively communicate and promote the company’s initiatives. Furthermore I have over three years customer service experience from various roles in retails sports stores.

As an intern I have also been responsible for general administrative work, and am comfortable with Microsoft Office and handling multiple time-sensitive responsibilities at once. In addition to my business to business sales experience, I have also worked in retail sales for four years which has helped develop my aggressive approach and positive attitude toward engaging and selling to customers. I am comfortable in a fast-paced environment and am used to meeting sales goals within a given timeframe. My role as Social Media Coordinator helped developed my written communication skills as well. I also have experience working within a sales team as I was a member of the Ticket Sales department for the 2016 Durham College Sport Business Conference.

As a recent graduate I am eager to apply my cutting-edge knowledge and want to work for a company that will challenge and inspire me. I believe that I would be an asset to your organization as I possess the ambition, creativity, social skills, work ethic and attitude that you are looking for and would bring enthusiasm and energy to your team.

I look forward to arranging an interview at your convenience. Please contact me at 647-***-**** or via email at ****************@*****.***.

Sincerely,

Sam Wright-Edwards
