Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in securing employment with your company. Currently I am transitioning from a very successful career, desiring to use my unique background in sales, medical and business background in the area of new business development /sales.
As you will see, I have a background that is unique and distinct among your applicants. Over the last fifteen years I have created, owned and sold two medical practices. One of my practices was awarded the Small Business of the Year Award. Prior to this I was employed with a Division of Johnson & Johnson. My professional experience includes business plan development, hospital ownership, Human Resources, Doctor/Client relationships, Doctor/Hospital sales, sales, sales training, key account responsibilities and public speaking, culminating in recognition as National Salesmen of the Year Award. I have been a featured speaker on the subject of Leadership at the Kauffman Foundation FastTrac program in Kansas City. I recently have been asked to act as a Lead Coach for entrepreneurs at the Kauffman Foundations Urban Entrepreneur Program. I also am a graduate of both the Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentor Program and the Helzberg Forum Program. I also attended the Disney school of Management on corporate culture.
I recently sold my medical practice and am seeking new challenges and opportunities. I was able to sell my practice because I had developed a business plan that also addressed my succession planning. The qualifications that you seek for your position are representative of the value that I offer.
Combined with rare levels of enthusiasm, commitment and drive, I am confident that I would be a contributing team member and would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lesslie
