LETTER 4-13: NETWORKING—TELEMARKETING

Ms. R. Susan Shapiro
The J.J. Budd Catalog Company
800 Budd Promenade
Stonington, CT 09876
Dear Ms. Shapiro:

You may recall that last May I had the pleasure of working with you when you
were at AmeriBrands for several weeks. I was delighted to hear from our mutual
friend, Mark Miller, that you might be looking to hire a telemarketing sales
supervisor.
No one can dispute J.J. Budd’s supremacy in its field. I believe, as I am sure
you do, that superior telemarketing is an integral part of J.J. Budd’s continued
success. After four very successful years at AmeriBrands, I am now looking for
new challenges in the telemarketing industry. I would like a chance to be part of
your telemarketing sales team—and to achieve for J.J. Budd the impressive
results I have attained for AmeriBrands:
As my resume indicates, during my four years as a Sales Manager
with AmeriBrands, I consistently earned a place on the list of
Top Ten Sales Managers. I also trained and ran the farm data
TSR team that achieved the lowest cost per order among three
competing vendors.
For a number of months, I have worked with Mark Miller. Mark can vouch for my
abilities to motivate TSRs and achieve high sales at a low cost. Please feel free
to talk with him. (Mark’s number at work is 800-555-7654, extension 123.)

I will give you a call in the next day or two to see if there is a convenient time
we can meet to discuss how my accomplishments might benefit you and
The J.J. Budd Catalog Company.
Very truly yours,

Raj Rammanvihal
