Dear Hiring Manager:

With a distinguished career in business development, sales leadership, and strategic growth, I have a proven track record of delivering multi-million-dollar revenue growth, optimizing market positioning, and leading high- performing teams to exceed business objectives. I am eager to bring my expertise in a role where I can leverage my deep industry knowledge, consultative selling approach, and executive relationship management skills to drive sustainable business expansion.

Beyond high-level strategy, I am at my best in face-to-face, hands-on sales engagements—meeting clients where they are, understanding their needs in real time, and closing deals through direct, trust-based relationships. Throughout my career, I have personally led complex, high-value engagements across financial services, M&A advisory, corporate finance, and fee-based consulting. My business development efforts have generated over $51 million in consulting revenue across more than 450 engagements. At WNM Advisors LLC, I not only led transformative growth strategies but also rolled up my sleeves to build a client base from the ground up, scaling a startup from $0 to $2.4 million in annual revenue. This success came from my ability to personally engage with decision-makers, identify pain points, and craft solutions that resonated—whether in boardrooms or face-to-face negotiations. My core competencies include:

• Strategic Business Development & Market Expansion – Identifying and capitalizing on growth opportunities, penetrating new markets, and developing value-driven client solutions.

• Revenue Growth & Sales Leadership – Driving high-performance sales teams, optimizing sales pipelines, and executing data-driven sales strategies to exceed revenue targets.

• Executive Relationship Management – Building trust-based, long-term partnerships with C-suite executives, investors, and key stakeholders to facilitate high-value engagements. Beyond revenue generation, I have built a reputation as a trusted advisor and industry influencer—delivering seminars on business growth strategies, authoring articles in national trade publications, and mentoring professionals in consultative sales methodologies. My ability to turn conversations into partnerships and partnerships into revenue has consistently driven success. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my leadership, direct sales expertise and strategic vision to your organization. I welcome the chance to discuss how my hands-on approach and proven business development skills align with your goals. Please let me know a convenient time to connect. Sincerely,

Edward J. Mazza
