RE: Pharmaceutical Sales Representative
Dear Sir or Madam:
Attached is my resume for the position of Pharmaceutical Sales
Representative, which highlights my experience and knowledge gained
throughout my career in executive roles in sales and operations.
In my current position as Vice President of Sales and Operations, I oversee
all aspects of company operations and sales. This includes prospecting and
selling to high level executives representing luxury high rises, HOA's, and
active adult and townhome communities for new business, as well as
maintaining relationships with existing clients for renewals, cross-sell,
and up-sell. In addition, I participate in industry tradeshows and
networking events, prepare and deliver written and face-to-face sales
presentations and proposals to individuals and groups, and facilitate
weekly sales and leadership meetings. I also oversee the
hiring/terminating, training, motivating, evaluating, and hands-on
mentoring of a staff of over 55 managers, salespeople, and administrative
personnel.
Through my efforts, my company has gained a substantial increase in brand
awareness, achieved an industry-high employee retention rate, averaged new
sales growth of 20% year-over-year, and maintained a client retention rate
of over 95%. Additionally, a major component of my role that I take a
great deal of pride in, is to ensure accountability of my team of
salespeople through mentoring, training, and leadership meetings to help
them grow within the company, take on increasing roles of responsibility
and leadership and, when necessary, accompany them on sales calls for
assistance with nurturing and closing techniques. I travel daily
throughout New Jersey for sales calls with my team and visits with
prospective and current clients to ensure our properties' combined 30,000
residents and Boards of Directors are receiving our outstanding level of
service and professionalism.
I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my background and
skillsets can enhance the sales and overall business development for your
organization. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ramon A. Cuevas
