Dear :

I am currently seeking to utilize my in-depth management experience in a Customer Service or Inside Sales assignment and am submitting my resume for your review.

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, I hold a Bachelor of Science from the University of Massachusetts and have had stable involvement over the past 17 years with my current employer, initially as a Business Consultant and for the past nine years as the Senior Business Services Manager.

I believe my key strengths are as a manager who builds crucial customer focus by developing a cohesive, motivated and engaged sales support team. I continually support the development of an atmosphere where individuals can achieve their personal potential and by utilizing individual strengths we have been able to build a productive and appreciated customer service team. Additionally I am particularly adept at identifying and resolving problems by assessing situations and developing mitigation or remediation strategies.

Earlier I served in Project Manager and Customer Service Representative assignments for the IDX Corporation in St. Louis, MO, and GE Plastics in Pittsfield, MA, where I held account management and new business development as well as client management responsibilities.

Throughout my career I have exhibited a commitment to quality and consistent compliance with critical governing directives, standards, policies and procedures. I am confident in my ability to deliver immediate and long-term results, and you will find me to be a performance-driven leader and collaborative team player focused on achieving and surpassing goals.
