Mr. William Smith
Marketing Manager
Spectacular Products, Inc.
966 State Street
San Diego, CA 92163
Dear Mr. Smith:
I am interested in meeting with you regarding your company. I have followed Spectacular Products' progress through the years and am very impressed with its growth and outstanding reputation.
I have twelve years of experience in product marketing and sales. I increased sales by 65% within 3 months of taking over my most recent territory. I have worked in both the retail and wholesale areas and feel I would be a great asset to your company. One of my areas of expertise is cold calling where I developed 10 new clients in just over 30 days. Please review my enclosed resume for more details about my experience.
I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and will be contacting you next week to discuss a convenient time. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Betty Needsajob
Enclosure
