Dear Sir or Madam,
With the enclosed resume, I would like to inquire about employment
opportunities within your organization, and make you aware of my extensive
background related to the Sales & Account Management profession. I am
applying for the Territory Sales Rep position/Boston MA.
As you can see from my resume, I have recently excelled in outside
sales environments in which I serviced existing accounts and developed new
business. I am skilled at building a solid customer base through
prospecting as well as through networking with repeat and referral
customers. My natural sales ability and strong focus on ensuring customer
satisfaction while maintaining bottom-line profitability have led to record
breaking sales for my employers.
In a prior position as a Sales & Service Representative with Verizon,
I was responsible for providing the daily operations of sales, pricing,
billing, repair, and the installation and deletion of voice & data lines to
a diverse portfolio of accounts, while being able to exceed client
expectations by delivering high standards of quality and service. In
addition, I am skilled at building strong networks within the business
community. With these contacts, along with my personal contacts, would make
me a valuable asset to your organization.
If you can use a confident, articulate, and detailed oriented
professional whose abilities have been proven in a variety of challenging
sales environments, then I look forward to hearing from you soon to suggest
a time when we might meet to discuss your need, and how my background might
serve them.
Sincerely,
James J. Keegan
