August 27, 2007 Mr. John Jeffries “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” ___ Herman Cain. I am deeply committed to Sales Management, and I am respectfully submitting my resume in response to the Director of Sales position advertised in yesterday’s Star Ledger. Based on your requirements for this position, you will discover that my unique background, qualifications and achievements are a perfect match, and set me apart from the crowd. As a skilled, creative and resourceful sales and sales management professional, my successes over the years have been built upon a strong foundation in communications, diplomacy and relationship-building. I am a visionary, driven and compelled to achieve excellence along every step of the sales process, from developing key relationships to strategic negotiations to the powerful close. I am well-known among my direct reports as a skilled motivator, an enthusiastic teacher and a fair leader. My additional strength in marketing has lent itself frequently to providing meaningful inputs around product enhancements and pricing improvements. My career achievements include building and managing an extremely successful sales team of six direct reports covering seven states. I have had responsibility for corporate and operating budgets, and accountability to twenty-two manufacturing facilities. I have improved customer service by increasing delivery on orders by 20%; I drove revenue growth 45% by establishing a clear vision and creating long-term strategies; I attained a 40% increase in sales over a nine-month period by developing critical relationships with seven key distributors; I consistently exceeded quota through specific targeting of key accounts and development of critical relationships. Bottom line: Relationship-building, drive and passion, among other stated attributes, has allowed me to drive revenue growth significantly, which fits well with directing the sales effort at Test Instrumentation, Inc. I look forward to meeting with you to explore my qualifications for this position. I will contact you within the week to answer any questions you may have and to schedule an interview.
Sincerely,
Jim Hoffman
