Dear Sir or Madam:
Please accept the enclosed resume as an indication of my interest in exploring career opportunities within your operations. I believe you will find that my background and experience are ideally suited to your requirements.
As noted in my resume, I have over twenty years of progressively responsible sales, marketing, operations management and financial services experience. I currently hold a dual role as the Branch Manager and Sales Representative for Culligan Canada in the Sudbury sales territory, where I oversee Branch operations and lead business development initiatives through staff mentor-ship and focused territory penetration.
Prior to this appointment, my experience was primarily in the financial services industry. As the Store Manager for Wells Fargo Financial in Sudbury, I was responsible for overseeing local operations and for ensuring the achievement of ambitious corporate and Branch goals. In addition to implementing Head Office marketing and campaign initiatives, I managed a sizeable annual operating budget and led the business development and account management efforts. Recruitment and retention of sales and support staff were key focus areas, and I advised on professional practice and career development issues. I also participated in strategic planning and goal setting at the local level, and liaised closely with Head Office on operational and administrative issues.
I also served as Wells Fargo’s Area Sales Manager for southwestern Ontario, with responsibilities in marketing, territory development, and corporate branding. Previous career experience includes two years as the Assistant Branch Manager with Beneficial Canada in the London branch, and seven years as a supervisor with Tim Horton’s.
My career has enabled me to gain considerable experience in business development strategies and account management, and has provided excellent training in the areas of marketing, personnel administration, budgeting, and operations management. I have developed excellent time management and organizational skills to prioritize workloads and ensure operational efficiency. I am conscientious in recognizing and addressing the needs of my clients, and am committed to service excellence and professionalism at all levels.
I am confident that my skills would mesh well with the requirements of your workplace, and that my experience could be a valuable resource to your staff and your clients. I would be pleased to meet with you, at your convenience, to discuss upcoming sales or management opportunities.
Thank you in advance for your interest in my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jamie Teeter
