To Whom It May Concern:
A proven track record of growing sales, profitability, market share, and demonstrating high close rates has
allowed me to be extremely successful in highly competitive environments across multiple industries and
market segments. My skillset in consultative and solution based selling along with other key character attributes
and transferable skills will allow me to positively impact sales and revenue, overall profitability, and assist your
organization in achieving growth targets now and into the future.
I believe my strengths of being able to learn complex and technical information quickly, prospecting/hunting,
developing trusting relationships, organizational skills, and strong work ethic are simply a few keys to my
success. These traits and others allow me to uncover the real challenges, issues, and barriers within a business
or organization and truly understand their vision and long range plans. This information assists in me in
positioning the product/solution and allows me to develop strong value propositions, winning proposals/sales
presentations, and close the sale.
Thank you in advance for taking time to review my resume and application. I am confident that my professional
experience, transferable skills, behaviors and strong work ethic will allow me to be extremely successful no
matter the product, service, industry, or market and drive results for your organization. I welcome your call with
questions about my professional experience and look forward to securing an interview date in the near future.
Sincerely,
