Dear Hiring Manager:
I am applying for the Marketing Account Executive with Texas Onboarding position because of my previous experience in management, business development, and customer service. With the public speaking and training I’ve done, I bring some additional value to the position. I completely understand the importance and value of providing superb service to current clients and potential clients. Being the driven individual I am, my mission is to provide the value Texas Onboarding seeks and play an integral role in the continued success of the company. I attribute always exceeding my goals to how driven I am to be an asset to who I work with, or work for. With years of customer service and sales, I’ve learned how to work very well with all kinds of people in all position levels in the most professional, influential, and beneficial ways. In my current position with Staples as a B2B Consultant, I am exceeding my sales metrics, and as an Account Manager I was able to increase a projected $3.6M book of business to $4.3M out our fiscal year’s end. At Xceed Financial, I exceed our sales and service metrics, and was the top referrer of mortgage and investment services. Whether the general day to day operations of a position vary or not, each day provides new challenges because no one day is exactly the same, and every day is fresh. Thinking outside the box allowed me to develop a fun yet exciting work environment with Hoagies & Wings managing 3 locations. That led to quicker processes, reduction in operational losses, and a 200% increase in sales over a three year period. Over time these things now help me run a great WFG team by helping them identify their markets to work within, identify their driving forces, and empowering them to constantly improve. I’m not sure of the exact candidate you’re looking for, but if you’re truly looking for someone who is going to have an impact on your company, staff, and clients, we need to have a conversation about your goals, and come up with a strategy to achieve them. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Nile Mashaka
