Dear Sir or Madam:

An innovative business and sales strategist, I have cultivated top

performing regional and corporate sales forces, successfully
navigated the economic downturn, and set new standards for service,
sales, and success that both colleagues and competitors strived to
achieve. Rapidly adapting to and assessing new markets, I am an
expert at identifying latent opportunities, and determining the
optimal approach to maximize client acquisition, retention, and
overall profitability. Building robust relationships with
cross-functional employees, executives, clients and decision-makers
on all levels, I quickly earn confidence and trust, and go above and
beyond the call of duty to ensure expectations are not only met, they
are surpassed.

A powerful negotiator, creative problem solver, and hands-on leader

and trainer, I am enthusiastic about creating ground-breaking
solutions for complex technical needs and business demands. Thriving
with a challenge, I always deliver outstanding results.

Some examples of highlights throughout my career are:

*
Pioneering and growing a successful video production business from
the ground-up, ChromoGraphics Video Production; increased gross sales
year-over-year, refining the marketing approach, increasing offerings,
and diversifying the customer base and targets.
*
 Leading my region to produce the highest rate (sales dollars per
man) in Freemont Industries' Industrial Products Division.
*
Increasing my region's sales by 8% overall, cultivating a
high-performance team, and launching multimedia sales and product
training for the salesmen and customers.
*
Turning a ~$175K area into a ~$800K territory for Freemont
Industries; led to my promotion to Regional Sales Manager for the
Southwest US and Mexico.
*
Being honored with every possible sales award offered by Freemont
Industries for an account manager; achieved President's club all 13
consecutive years of tenure.

Confident in my ability to enhance your organization as well, I am

enclosing my resume, which contains more detailed information on my
professional history. Please review it and contact me at your
earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and I look forward to
your reply.

Sincerely,

Laurence B. Clark III
