Available Immediately: Professional, experienced and adaptable with a passion for customer service!
Throughout my career as Finance Manager within the Auto Industry, I effectively managed broad areas of sales and marketing. From building and maintaining key accounts to product promotions, I provided expertise and directed crucial efforts that contributed to dealership success.
With a background in office management and field sales, I am able to view situations from multiple perspectives with a proven ability to maximize opportunities. As an effective problem solver, I see my role as one of cutting through confusion and providing clarity and practical business solutions for the company I represent, as well as its clients.
I enjoy productive efforts and research on innovative ideas that take into consideration demographics, target markets, advertising strategies, and shifts in the economy that have a direct impact on the consumer buying trends and the influences that drive those changes. Considering all these skills, I am confident that I would make a significant contribution to the continued success of your company.
Although the accompanying resume illustrates my background well, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss my application at a time convenient to you. Thank you for your review and consideration.
Sincerely
Colin Young
