Attn:
Human Resources or Hiring Authority
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please accept this letter and my resume in application for your Sales Management/ Director/ Executive position in Los Angeles, CA and the surrounding Southern California area. As you can see from my resume, my education in Business Administration, my experience developing teams, generating and managing channel revenue, my value-added solutions sales, client management, and consultative sales expertise gained from the PEO and private aviation industries, my technical sales acumen and experience gained from the clinical laboratory and medical industries, my business to business sales success, and my multi-location and direct report management and leadership experience make me a strong candidate for your Sales Management/ Director/ Executive position. Throughout my career and while attending the Citadel, I developed a great deal of discipline, excellent time management, and interpersonal skills while learning in an Ivy League military environment. One of the greatest attributes that I bring to a company is the "mind-set" of a team player, which in part was developed through my involvement in collegiate athletics. In school, I was a dual sport varsity athlete, wrestling and football, and received letterman honors. I have used the same work ethic, discipline, and strength of character to help me excel in the workplace, and I plan to do the same with your company. Upon entering the workforce I honed my skills selling business to business in various industries. Those industries included: hotels, restaurants, bars, grocery and retail stores, industrial/manufacturing, construction, and telecommunications. During that time I closed several companies on the C level and amassed over $8 million in sales. I also ranked in the top 10% in sales revenue throughout the country for every company that I have ever worked.
In the medical field, I have called on virtually every specialty of medicine. Using my relationship building skills, my ability to grasp and effectively communicate technical medical information to physicians, and my ability to close and convince physicians and hospitals to not only change how they do business, but how they practice medicine have made me very successful. I have grown territories, successfully on boarded new hospitals and new practices, and successfully implemented advance products to physicians that are participating/ non-participating with managed care; through focus on patient care, attention to detail, and sales and closing ability. My expertise in the medical/ laboratory industry extends to clinical diagnostics, capital equipment, gartfs, stents and IVC filters as well as stability testing and HPLC testing and equipment. I have also sold to the C suite level of hospital administrators. In private aviation, I used my ability to penetrate difficult companies, my relationship building and interpersonal skills, and my advanced negotiating skills, to find, build and close business. I negotiated and executed aircraft acquisitions and sales, assisted with financing and closing, as well as wet and dry leases. I coordinated, and arranged, major hotel accommodations and services, negotiated/ chartered private and commercial air and ground transportation, planned menus and meals (during travel), communications/ facilities support, client and guest entertainment (pre/ during/ post travel), passport / VISA clearances, and program functions for my clients. I served as the Director of Sales of Luxury Air Jets, where, I led a sales team that generated more than $11M in revenue. I also played an integral role in managing the firm’s marketing efforts; launching and managing the firm’s print and online campaigns. At DIRECTV, I successfully managed the 3rd largest US Telco, helping them grow and solidify their footprint in the Telco market. While managing eight direct reports and overseeing thirteen call centers throughout the US, I promoted two company associates and I successfully developed and implemented strategies to raise DTV sales, subscription base, and key account metrics. I achieved success at DIRECTV by leading and managing with focused training based on analytics, setting measurable goals, and motivating team associates to carry out implemented strategies with attention to details and results, and bolstering a sense of teamwork and espirit de corps. I also successfully managed the account budget and inventory, worked with intercompany departments and 3rd party vendors to achieve account objectives, and during my tenure, never finished a business quarter lower than 120% vs plan. With ADP, I hit the ground running making an instant impact and I have never turned back. From the beginning, of my tenure I began to break records and exceed all expectations. During my training I received the first perfect score in business unit history during our industry lecture and home study program while shadowing and learning the industry from a Sr. Manager mentor. I then gained national attention as I was ranked number 1 of 70 colleagues across the nation earning the Valedictorian Honor, in ADP’s formalized training for my class. I then proceeded to take the knowledge gained and applied it to my territory here in Los Angeles to close more business than any other ADP Associate in my Division and Class. I have leveraged my experience and knowledge as a former business owner in California to make myself an asset to other business owners in the Los Angeles area who share in the challenges of staying compliant and navigating the complexities of the highly regulated business environment of California. While directing the territory business activities and overseeing five cross-functional direct reports. This has resulted in more than $800,000 in closed business and 300% vs my planned company objectives. As a business professional, I am a skilled advanced negotiator. I have mastered the Counselor Sales Approach; I’m thoroughly familiar with Miller Heiman advanced sales strategies, and I’m also a master of the Huthwaite Group’s S.P.I.N. sales technique. I have conceptualized, developed and implemented print, online, and digital marketing campaigns with accurate forecasting and ROI. I make everyone around me better while being an outstanding leader and follower. I work excellently alone as well as in team environments. I think quickly and adapt to overcome and win in difficult and challenging situations. In my role as corporate training and California Operations Director, I developed and implemented, as well as trained the two step sales process, including the opening and closing sales pitches, value propositions, and sales research and product metrics. I developed and instituted new hire and ongoing sales, industry and product knowledge curriculum for the national and CA sales operations. I have advised and helped onboard, and implement CRM, contractual software, presentation software, and currently serve as a corporate administrator, for several of our sales operations platforms, among them: Docusign, Clearslide, Insightly, Paycom, and Grant Cardone University, to name a few. My ability to analyze the business and sales trends, while adjusting and making the right decisions as the market changes, coupled with great hiring practices, and the training and developing of a good support staff have resulted in annual sales over $50 million and most recently quarterly revenue marks of more than $16.5million. In my current role as Territory Manager; I have made President’s Club my first two years with the company. I successfully navigated and opened the Artegraft account with the prestigious Cedar Sinai Medical Center, after 17 years of unsuccessful attempts in the firm’s history, and multiple hospital accounts in my three year tenure with the firm, among them: Providence St. John’s Santa Monica, Cottage Santa Barbara Hospital, Southern California Hospital- Culver City, and Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center. I have more than doubled the my territory’s monthly recurring revenue, and I was the number one rep in the country for ConvertX, a nephroureteral stent used for nephrostomy cases. My incredible success, following reinsertion back into the medical sales field, after several years of successfully developing sales professionals and restructuring divisions for my previous employers shows that not only can I conceive and implement successful strategies, but I can also roll up my sleeves, and close with the best in the country as well.
In past management roles, I have mentored others to management positions, grown territories, developed training for my teams. In my channels nationally and regionally, I have implemented go to market strategies, successfully forecasted and attained annual revenue goals consistently, while operating within my budgetary limits, and have always exceeded company’s expectations. I'm a brilliant strategist with original and out of the box ideas. I’m skilled and adept at implementing plans, and motivating others to carry out those plans to achieve company goals. I'm a winner; an expert at acquiring, growing, and maintaining accounts/ key relationships as well as a proven closer. I know that I can use my skills to be successful and win with your firm. I also know that this type of passion, determination, work ethic, experience/ expertise, savvy, and consistency will make me an asset to the team. I would like an opportunity to meet with you to discuss my credentials, and speak in greater detail about the position that you are hiring for. I would also greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your company, the vision and direction of the company, and more of what you are looking for in a candidate. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Frank Fisher
