Gentlemen & Ladies:
With ** years of goal-oriented management for multi-million dollar
corporations, I am offering my track record of success to leading my next
corporate opportunity.
I have always greatly improved the bottom line of the corporations I had
been responsible for. I have over 11 years experience in Events Management
experience. My staffs have varied in size from a few dozen to hundreds. I
am not only a solid team leader and team player, I inspire my team.
I look forward to the opportunity of discussing this opportunity with you
in person, and mutually exploring whether we would be a good fit for each
other.
I feel my best skill is to take overall assessment of where a company is,
where it wants to go, and then ascertain how to get it there. I believe
your operation has the ability to achieve greater things.
While I would rather prefer a consultant position. I have over 40 years
experience in Marketing, and have taught Salesmanship to hundreds .of
professional commission sales adults as a Professor in college, and
accepted a challenge from my "students" to become a commissioned salesman
to prove my own sales theories and sales abilities. I won that challenge
by out selling all the seasoned pros.
I have attached my resume for your review. Thank you very much, and I look
forward to an in-depth personal interview. While I have been retired for a
number of years, I am anxious to get back 'in harness'.
Sincerely,
William T. Tucker
