COVER letter
Dear Hiring Manager:
Your need for an experienced Sales Executive is an excellent match for my background and career goals. With more than 40+ years of progressively responsible experience helping companies achieve their revenue-generation goals, specifically in the telecommunications and auto industries, I am confident I can make an immediate contribution to your corporation.
Highlights of my qualifications most relevant to your needs include:
- Experience managing budgets of $53M, closing multiple million-dollar deals (as high as $16M), building/leading sales teams from the ground up with annual revenue responsibility of up to $85M, and overseeing 30 employees.
- Elevated Pohanka Nissan from the 10th to the third dealership in the Northern Virginia region for sales—an improvement of 130%—and helped the dealership to have the most profitable year in its history.
- Increased customer satisfaction by 25%, and exceeded the corporation’s service quality indicator threshold, which resulted in the dealership receiving 15% additional revenue per car from Nissan per month.
- Signed 35% of the nation’s major airports to telecommunications agreements, including Chicago O’Hare, Houston, Detroit, Reagan National, and Washington Dulles. Signed 7-Eleven, Inc. three times to major telecommunications agreements.
- Developed and launched a national management product for Verizon that resulted in client acquisitions, including those of Exxon, Nexcom, and PepsiCo.
- Promoted consistently due to proven ability to generate large-volume sales.
These proven abilities will contribute to your continued success. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my background with you in detail and to learn more about your company and its goals.
