To Whom It May Concern:

I am a hard-working experienced sales representative. I am looking for a

change and a chance to grow with the opportunity to represent your products

for your company.

I have been a representative for wholesale flooring company and have taken

the practice of learning something new everyday, using it in my work

etiquette and personal endeavors to be all that I can be.

I am in contact with sales reps and store managers in my present position

as a supplier to retail outlets. I have a good re-pore with each of my

clients and strive to give them the best customer service and knowledge of

my products.

My key strengths are my ability to communicate with people; to have

enthusiasm for any task at hand and hands on approach to any job required

to be done. In addition, my excellent interpersonal and conflict management

skills have played a key role in providing outstanding levels of customer

service. The sales experience and knowledge that I would bring with me

would be a definite asset to the growth development of a rapidly growing

company.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can be

of value to you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your consideration.
