SUMMARY
I would like to express my interest in the Sales Manager Assistant position. While at DePaul University I studied business administration and finance. My course load has also provided me with a lot of marketing and sales experiences consisting of hands on cold calling as well as marketing and campaign managerial experience. I was educated in the psychology of selling in complex selling situations, identifying the decision maker among multiple contacts, quantifying the value proposition to the customer, and presenting a compelling sales proposal. I also focused on identifying customer needs and values (tangible, intangible, behavioral) and delivering products and services to increase customer profit margins, cash flow, or the efficiency of the customer’s business. Goals are achieved by use of mathematical analytical techniques, understanding of emotional drivers, and utilization of behavioral influence techniques in a research based selling model. I believe I can take these strategies into your company and provide a lot of value to CDW through a successful career.
