Dear Mr. Hent,
Having broken sales records and exceeded sales quotas in all my previous positions and
recently completed my MBA in marketing from the Stern School of Managerial Leader
ship at Florida State University, I am an ideal candidate for the regional sales manager
position at Marriott Vacation Club International.
As the leading sales representative for Disney Vacation Club, I developed key sales
material, trained new sales reps, and reinvented the way club memberships are sold.
My team's revenue was more than double the average for the entire operation.
The vacation club industry is a dynamic and growing industry, and I am convinced I
can help Marriott grow its reputation and dominant position in the industry.
We should meet to discuss the position. I will contact you in the next 10 days to
arrange an interview. Should you have any questions before that time, please feel free
to call me at 904-555-2341 or email me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Cordially,
Kevin Lee Smith
