Hiring Manager:
My extensive history in the workforce has allowed to me to develop a full
spectrum of abilities; ranging from personal management, problem solving
skills, project management and first-rate customer service, which I believe
would bring significant value to your company.
In my current position I am a Property Manager for a Self-Storage company,
with the responsibilities of leasing, marketing, collections and customer
service.
Prior to my latest position I was an Executive Casino Host for Harrah's
Cherokee. I was the primary point of contact for VIP players, and guests,
tasked with understanding their expectations, and exceeding them, also to
provide consistent and continual feed back to managers about guest's
experiences, including conflict resolution, and customer satisfaction.
During my time in vertical markets my responsibilities included, creating
and presenting proposals to governing boards, in addition to preparing RFP,
RFQ and RFI responses. Additional administrative duties included budget
management and P&L reporting.
Throughout my tenure as an account representative and manager in varying
industries, I excelled in researching trends, finding new revenue sources,
discovering new markets and staying current with technology. As a valuable
member of a cross-functional team, I prepared executive summaries and
provided statistical and analytical data to management. I also have
extensive experience using online interactive tools and in-person
demonstrations to effectively engage customers and team members in positive
and productive dialogues.
I would like to thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from
you soon.
Sincerely,
Eric W. Dale
