Sales - Service Technical/Management background

Cover Letter

After a considerable period of time being self-employed in varied fields as my

resume outlines and being in a situation, at the present time, where I find myself

seeking new

opportunities, I make this offer…

Let me demonstrate, to your company, my sales ability. One interview, I am

positive, will convince you of my salesmanship. After all, selling is the skill

along with the ability to convince your prospect that you are the person they can trust and believe. To have the utmost confidence in the decision they make in giving you the

sale or the position you seek as well as the improvement in their personal or business life that decision develops.

I am motivated, like most entrepreneurs, by results that I know through my sales

and business experience can be accomplished. It takes effort, dedication to the

proposition (commitment), focus and most of all, persistence! I think and believe

categorically that I can produce significant results for your company. Utilizing my

years of business and sales experience, I am sure, would be mutually beneficial for

both of us.

Sincerely,

Ray Lind
