Cover Letter
In my current position, I’m ranked in the top 50 in the company, out of 270 sales reps for top “takeaway”
new business revenue, and I’m number one in my district for overall revenue, tracking for performance
over goal in 2015. I am willing to travel extensively and I currently use Salesforce.com to track sales
activity, as well as the Internet and company Intranets for communications and reporting. My extensive
consultative sales experience and skills using technology can easily be leveraged towards success in
similar positions at other companies. I look forward to having the opportunity to interview and discuss
how I might contribute to your team.
My professional work experience includes the following:
For the past 12 years, I’ve been successfully practicing consultative sales, sales management and
account management in the Education sector developing and maintaining key relationships with
customer Professors, Department Chairs, Deans, and Provosts, VP and C-Level executives.
Each year I’ve increased market share in my territory, despite the challenges that economic and
business conditions impose. I’ve been honored with the distinction of Outstanding Sales
Achievement Performance for Increases Over Goal for 7 of the past 10 years.
Currently, as a Senior Learning Technology Representative, my focus is on consultative selling of
the McGraw-Hill Education digital, online technology offerings, with the ALEKS math learning
system, Connect homework and course management platform, hosting learning & study tools in
the SmartBook eBook, powered by the LearnSmart adaptive study technology, the Create digital,
custom publishing platform, offering custom eBooks and printed books, and assessment programs.

Professional Studies program, (CAPS), managing 14 people, marketing and selling educational
courses and training programs to local area companies, while teaching and conducting sales
training and account management to the advisement/sales team.
