Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been selling professionally in the Mid Atlantic States for over 25 years. Regardless of product, I
have always performed in the top 10% of my sales group, consistently achieving sales goals and winning
numerous sales awards.
I have excellent ”people skills” and find “common ground” with an individual very quickly .People
describe me as outgoing, confident ,considerate, honest ,dependable and persistent.. I work smart and
especially enjoy helping customers achieve their goals using my solutions. I’m also a very good “problem
solver” and consider a customer’s problems as an opportunity to gain his/her confidence and respect. I
maintain existing business thru exceptional , high visibility service ,expanding into new product with
relative ease as my customers trust me. Also, I am an excellent “cold caller” and can usually convince a
customer to give me a try.
Having played team sports all my life, I’m a very competitive team player, also very “coachable” .I will
not try to “re-invent” the wheel. I will take the product knowledge and training that you provide and
present the product/services the way that the people who know it best want it presented. This approach
combined with my personality and professional approach has produced many successful years of selling.
I am from Richmond Va. Attended Benedictine High School and graduated in marketing from Virginia
Tech .I am very well connected in the state and local business community .I will already know or have
some type of “common ground” with the majority of your account base and will enjoy growing the
relationship.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my resume. Please give me a call at your earliest
convenience. I would like very much to discuss this opportunity further.
Sincerely,
Denny O’Neill
