Dear Mr. Mason,
I am writing to express my interest in the International Sales position at AlphaTech, Inc, as advertised on wholelottajobs.com. I am very familiar with your products, and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about how I could help increase your International presence. My colleague, Homer Greene, recommended that I contact you directly about this position. Homer and I have worked together in the technology industry for many years, and he thought that I would be an excellent match for AlphaTech.
My nine years of experience marketing computers and computer accessories internationally have given me a sophisticated knowledge of the business, directly relatable to your interest in increasing sales abroad. In my previous position as International Sales Rep with Tech-Know-Logic, I successfully increased our revenue in each of my territories by over 40% within my first year. In the five years I spent at Tech-Know-Logic, I helped to establish a sales base in six new countries, while continuing to increase revenue with existing clients.
I have enclosed my resume for your perusal. I believe you will find that I am an excellent candidate for the position, and would very much appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss what I have to offer to AlphaTech. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Deborah Planter
