Roger Blankenship roger.blankenship10@gmail.com Danville, IN 46122 | 317-417-3215 Dear Hiring Manager, Business Manager & Sales Manager During a successful career in business management and sales leadership, I have been a driving force in keeping companies ahead of competitors through relationship building and innovative thinking. Understanding the needs and strategy of the customer has been a contributing factor to long term success. I placed one of my company’s premier brands with a major food retailer, Meijer, and the product now generates nearly $5M in annual sales. Other account managers had tried to achieve this goal for 14 years. Within the first year of being assigned the task, it was mission accomplished. During my first year as manager of a second major customer, Kroger, I produced $20M in sales and $6M in profit. Was able to get a new brand on the shelf nationally. I was District Manager for a division of Nestle for five years. During that time, I won multiple performance awards that included “Profit Center and District of the Year.” One of my greatest achievements was turning the rapidly declining Michigan region (that had lost money for years) into a $50M business producing $6M in profit for the company. I understand what it takes to open new markets, carve out market niches, and meet aggressive sales and revenue goals. I’ve proven my ability to do this year-over-year, and been recruited by top executives to take on (and have met) the toughest challenges. I am excited about joining your team, and submit my résumé as application for the job.

I look forward to talking with you soon. Sincerely, Roger Blankenship
