Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in a sales leadership capacity and am submitting my resume for your review.  In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As indicated in the accompanying resume, I bring to you a considerable background in major account development, well-honed expertise in strategic planning and business development, and a solid ability to analyze revenue growth opportunities and expertly conduct negotiations to close the deal. To complement these qualifications, I offer polished organizational, prioritization, personnel leadership, presentation, and relationship-building skills.  In fact, a senior buyer at a major office products chain lauded recently, "You have been phenomenal in your 'shocking level of responsiveness' to our needs in a sea of mediocre business professionals, you stand out in the crowd as exemplary."

 

Without a doubt, you will find me to be a hard-working team player and stellar leader committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance, initiative and dedication.  I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your firm, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
