Sales Manager
Resume:
Brian S. Thompson
Ankeny IA 50023
***********@*******.***
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter and resume is to inquire about the available position that was listed on Monster.com.
I have over 8 years of experience in management and sales. I feel that a positive customer experience is
the most important part of any sales transaction. Being personally involved in each sales transaction I
have overseen has also allowed me to help develop the sales professionals I lead. Not only do I want to
see and be part of growth of the company which I represent, I also desire to help my sales professionals
meet their sales goals and become successful in this industry.
I am a self-starter, and am very goal driven. As you can see in my resume, I like to take every opportunity
to become familiar with the products I sell, so that I can always offer the customer the best fit for their
needs. I would take this same initiative when working for a company. I feel I am a strong leader, and
make it a point to keep my team motivated every day.
Given the opportunity to interview, I feel that you will see that I would be a smart addition to your team
and would strive to meet and exceed your goals and expectations of the available position.
I will follow up with you within the week to determine any additional documentation or questions you
may have regarding my qualifications. Thank you for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Thompson
