Dear (name of personnel manager),
Do you need a vibrant, balanced, and enthusiastic self-starter with proficiency in organization, sales, and marketing? And would you like that person to be an empathetic people-person - able to establish rapport with both customers and other employees almost instantly?
I am that person.
After more than fifteen years in highly competitive sales positions, I am seeking a new path. My ideal position would allow me to use the skills honed through sales in a different atmosphere - one of cooperation and mutual respect.
Your concept of (spa tag line), combined with your geographical setting, makes (name of business) an attractive choice.
Much of my success in sales was due to my ability to quickly establish rapport with people in a wide variety of positions and situations. It didn't matter if the person was the CEO of an airline, a grieving son or daughter dealing with probate, or a corporate ladder-climber anxious to take my job -- my concern and interest in others has always allowed me to form a connection which led to agreement and cooperation.
Sales success also depends upon organization, negotiation, record-keeping, clear communication, research to gain market knowledge, and the ability to self-motivate and self-start. I possess these skills and want to use them in a way that enhances both my own life and the lives of others. In essence, I want to use my skills as part of a balanced life.
Over the past twenty years I have often visited Rancho La Puerta Spa and Red Mountain Spa - thus I know your industry from the guest's perspective. I understand the many reasons why individuals seek the solace, rest, rejuvenation, and pampering that a spa provides.
While I believe the (position they have posted) would make best use of my talents, I am open to other ideas. I am a quick study, have immense enthusiasm for the work you do, and possess a willingness to use my talents and skills in any manner beneficial to (name)
Please call me at (503) 430-0409 or email me at: ruth.probate@gmail.com to set up a time to talk. Since I am self-employed, I could make the trip to (location) for an interview at any time convenient for you.
Yours truly,
Ruth Feiring
P.S. I have no obligations that would prevent me from interviewing immediately.
