LETTER 5-34: ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE—SALARY

Ms. Marilyn Horning
Vice President
Electronic World, Inc. RE: Your ad for an
1200 Verdi Way Account Executive
Venice, CA 09876 City Times, 11/20/XX

Dear Ms. Horning:
Your advertisement caught my eye immediately as it describes a position for
which my qualifications are ideal.

My solid experience in sales, marketing, and dealing with both customers and
prospects enables you to add a seasoned professional to your team -- one who
can begin being productive at once. Allow me to highlight my strengths:
-Nearly five years of proven success in selling sophisticated equipment
to consumers/the public/corporations/national corporate accounts.
-Highly effective communications skills, which I used to sell a range
of electronic products and train customers in using them.

-In-depth experience developing marketing strategies and techniques
for use by the sales team.
-Familiarity with, and comfort in, working on a salary-plus-commission
basis.
My resume provides further details on my background and accomplishments.
Realizing that this data cannot adequately convey my personal strengths, I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you, at which time we could
discuss salary in greater depth.
I thank you for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Michelle S. Neufield
