Dear__________________:

 

I am currently seeking a challenging [ Insert Job Title ] role, and am submitting my resume for your review.

 

I am excited to build a rewarding career with your company, and am confident that my professional skills can help to achieve your objectives.  I can offer 21+ years of solid experience in Publishing Channel Growth, Strategic Analysis / Planning, Marketing / Brand Positioning, Large-Scale Product Development, and Multi-Territory Market Growth, and am well-versed in all facets of Start-Up Operations, Wholesaler Channel Development, In-Store Merchandising, and Profit & Loss Responsibility.

 

To complement my background, please note that I hold a B.A. in Business Management from St. John s University.  I am also an active member of the American Copy Editors Society (ACES).

 

Currently, as Senior Vice President (Sales & Logistics) for Time Warner Retail Sales & Marketing (a division of Time, Inc.), I utilize my broad scope of industry knowledge and business acumen to direct a top-performing 124-person sales team through 6 direct reports for Time, Inc. and TWR client titles, including overseeing headquarter sales and in-store merchandising across the U.S. and Canada.  Within this role, I manage the top 3 wholesaler groups representing 90% of total volume of Time Warner Retail and high-profile national retailers (i.e. Cohen, The News Group, Barnes & Noble, Borders, CVS, Rite Aid, among others).  I also develop and nurture strategic, multi-dimensional business partnerships.

 

During this time, I spearheaded efforts to move all wholesaler relationships from at-will to more formal contractual agreements which resulted in securing improved payment terms and enhanced services for Time, Inc. magazines.  I also optimized overall success by managing a high-volume Time, Inc. inventory of titles and new in-store merchandising, and improved pre-weekend delivery for People magazine.  As this is just a sampling of my job history, please kindly refer to my enclosed resume for additional experience and career highlights.

 

You will find me to be a solutions-focused professional who can contribute a track record of organizing complex business initiatives, defining key priorities, and meeting targeted goals.  In addition, I can proficiently manage large-scale wholesaler groups and internal / external teams within fast-paced, deadline-driven environments while streamlining business processes increase profitability, productivity, efficiency, and quality.  For the sum of these aforementioned reasons, I believe I will prove to be an incredible asset to your company.

 

I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,
