Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging entry-level Sales/Marketing position where my previous entrepreneurial experience will offer immediate value to your operations.  To acquaint you with my background, I am submitting my resume for review; in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, I successfully launched a business in 2001 focused on the food service industry.  I effectively built the business through proactive sales and marketing of catering and related services as well as strategic promotion of our restaurant/pub, and consistently grew sales through repeat and referral business by ensuring quality customer service.  I am able to identify and capitalize on opportunity and possess the dynamic communication and relationship building skills that are crucial to maximizing sales/revenue performance.  Additionally, I offer solid managerial skills in all aspects of business operations and effectively train and lead team members to optimize results.  Prior to launching this company, I steered operations of a similar business offering catering, a gourmet deli and gifts/gift baskets.

 

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives while launching and building a successful sales/ marketing career.  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,
