Dear Ms. Prendergast,
It is with great interest that I read your advertisement for a sales agent in the Petaluma region. Please find attached my most recent resume. I have been working in the field of publishing since graduating from high school and have Several years' experience in Sales.
Your advertisement Specifies that you require someone who is an effective communicator and used to cold-calling. My present position requires that I make phone calls to educational establishments in order to make sales of textbooks and supplementary materials. These calls are usually made to busy teachers who do not always appreciate being disturbed by a stranger during their busy work day. It can be quite a challenge to engage these teachers, but I am proud to be able to say that last year, I achieved record sales for my company in the area of textbook sales.
I am a self-motivated person who enjoys working with people. I believe Small Book Distributors is the kind of place where I would fit in, and I hope, to have the opportunity to discuss this vacancy in person.
Sincerely,
Jim Hamilton
