Although my sales and marketing abilities are a critical part of my overall qualifications, even more important are the personal characteristics that shape my accomplishments. These are the ability to focus on long and short-term goals, a solid work ethic and dedication to excellence, and the leadership skills to motivate others to peak performance. If your company needs an energetic, enthusiastic, reliable, dependable self-starter with a positive attitude and the determination to succeed, I would like to meet with you to discuss possible employment.
