My name is Marion Elledge and I’m writing to introduce myself to see if you would be interested in
speaking with me? I’m hoping you can spare a few minutes of your time to discuss possibilities, either in
the short or long term, where I could help play a valuable role in helping reach your organizational goals.
When considering a Business Management Professional to fill a leadership role, it can be difficult to choose
the best person to help you achieve your goals and objectives.
Throughout my career, I have been successful by combining the science of business and project operations
with the art of hands-on leadership. I use creativity, ingenuity and effective decision making to build teams
and motivate them to achieve a shared vision. I have a track record of providing clarity in ambiguous
situations and establishing broad-based organization-wide initiatives. I am adept at driving organizational
efficiencies, cost controls and making process management improvements. I am confident that my
experience would allow me to make an immediate and significant contribution to your company.
Some of my relevant accomplishments include:
⇒ Significantly increased Dauphin Realty’s online presence by initiating social media marketing
strategies for agents and expanded marketing efforts through creation of personal and corporate real
estate blogs.
⇒ Increased revenues by $2M by partnering with industry leaders across government,
pharmaceutical, aerospace, and health sectors creating industry standards and programs garnering
global acceptance.
⇒ Generated $100K in additional revenue by proposing and implementing new cost-cutting
procedures, integrated marketing processes and slim-lined program logistics with no impact on
quality of end product.
⇒ Served on executive committee to evaluate staffing and perform downsizing and staff reassignments
while reducing expenditures by more than 35% in less than six months.
⇒ Cut promotional expenses 60% within first year of establishing a targeted email and web marketing
campaign strategies.
⇒ Bolstered revenue by up to $1M per year by launching trade shows in conjunction with events.
I look forward to speaking and will follow up if I haven’t heard from you first.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marion
