COVER LETTER: To whom it may concern, I have 10+ years strategic planning experience with a focus on marketing and growth strategies, as well as on business development and client retention. I believe that the best business development strategies should contain plans that are aimed at retaining current clients as well as attracting new business. Improved client relations and communications can play a large role in developing business, and is often obtainable with significantly decreased marketing costs when compared to that of attracting new business. I have management experience that is highly diversified, making me readily and easily adaptable to perform tasks that are generally out of a particular job's normal scope. I am an analyst. My brain is always searching out the best, most efficient, most effective methods to obtain any given goal. This often leads to innovative solutions. My approach also sets me apart. Instead of merely observing and analyzing from afar, I utilize a much more hands on approach. In a prior position, rather than merely observe the processes and procedures from afar, I took initiative by doing field rotations. I physically performed each type of job that company did. In doing so I had a greater understanding of all variables involved and was thus able to devise superior solutions. Sometimes the smallest change in the most minute area was able to directly affect the corporate bottom line significantly. I may lack the industry specific experience that you may be seeking, but I learn quick and I love a challenge. I make up for any deficit through the numerous skills that I do have and the methods that I employ. I take P.R.I.D.E (Professionalism. Responsibility. Integrity. Dedication. Excellence.) in my work. Thank you for taking the time to read over my resume. If you feel that I may be a good fit for your company please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Kari L. Rogers
