Manager Sales
Resume:
Trevor King
*********@*****.*** 289-***-****
April 2014
W ith my drive for learning and sound interpersonal skills, and ability to provide tangible results, it
is with pleasure to submit my resume for the position of Sales Manager.
Accepting challenges is the foundation of my life experiences and something I do with
confidence. You will find me a totally committed individual with pride in being direct, spontaneous
and communicative. I can maintain records, perform numerical calculations with accuracy and I
need little direction to complete assigned tasks. These are the qualities that make an excellent
Sales Manager.
From past experiences and education, I have acquired persuasive techniques that are needed to
influence students, parents and clients in making choices. My leadership skills are developed
and have allowed me to spontaneously interact with ethnic diverse populations and all age
groups. I am a motivator and organizer and these skills have enabled me to effectively defuse
problem situations with clients using tact, thus creating a long-term client base. Teamwork is
another skill I have acquired and one I know is necessary for organizational cohesiveness. Over
the years, I have had to establish daily operational bases for projects/programs and provide the
direction to insure the progress and deadline were met.
I will appreciate the opportunity to meet and further discuss my qualifications .
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Trevor King
