division sales manager, regional manager, senior sales representative, training manager- 20+ years -

While my background has been in managing sales in the construction/building materials industry, the basic skills needed to position one for success is very similar to your desired skill set. Features and benefits, overcoming objections, long and short sales cycle, territory management, account management and forecasting/new business development and a consultative selling style. I care deeply and work hard to support my sales team in their daily efforts to earn more business. I constantly train and help them hone sales skills for any given situation. I train in Consultative Selling Skills (Collaborative Selling Skills), and employ a variety of methods to reinforce a professional approach to sales and customer service. I am laser focused on providing excellent customer service! My passion for doing a superior sales and management job is evident from my first day, I can start in just one week! I realize that most people applying to you can talk a great story, I would encourage you to reach out to my contacts and customer base and hear what they have to say about me. I have worked diligently over the years to earn these kind words of referral (and others), “professional, knowledgeable, knows what he is doing, always helpful, takes care of us/business…” I am anxious to hear back from you to move forward with your interviewing process and to further develop my role as sales manager for your company! Sincerely, Bill McLaughlin
