To whom it may concern,
I highly recommend Ray Kohl as a candidate for employment. Ray has worked as a Territory Manager
for Shaw Industries from August 2004 until December 31st of this year. Due to current economic
conditions our company is downsizing our sales force, resulting in Ray's territory being eliminated.
During his time at Shaw, Ray was recognized for a variety of different achievements and consistently
executed our corporate initiatives. At its peak Ray managed a sales Territory doing $2,700,000 in
revenue.
Ray has very strong communication skills, is persistent, organized, and self motivated. He operates well
in a team environment and worked well with his counterparts at Shaw. Ray is open-minded and adapts
to change very well. He has also been willing to take on new responsibilities and even relocate. He
would be an asset for your company.
Sincerely,
Trey Thames
