Letter Writing

Cover Letter - Requires proof-reading... Please help :)

In need of advice, writing first cover letter (15 years consulting), migrating this year. Would greatly appreciate any input, thank you in advance for your assistance.

Dear XXX,

XXXXX recommended I submit my Resume regarding the SAP SME Division.

The President of Rossignol told me: “Practical experience leads to credibility, trust and respect... To be a good leader is to know”, as he drove away on a forklift. Inspired by my mentor, I focused the past 18 years on sharpening my practical experience, gradually expanding my understanding of the SME sector.

Benefiting from collective expertise, I have gained insight into the needs, expectations and perspectives driving consumers, merchants and C-level decision makers. As you will learn from my Resume, best practices drawn from multiple industries and genuine empathy for prospects have helped me succeed where the pure technical sales approach has fallen short. Translating business processes into actionable solutions has become second nature, seeing the ROI from different perspectives makes me efficient in adding value to projects and demonstrating tangible results to clients.

Driven by relationships, knowledge and information, I intend to continue acquiring expertise and maintain the highest standard when communicating with colleagues, clients and resellers. I am ready to tackle demanding objectives within an innovative environment that will drive and reward success.

If you consider my qualifications and background to match your criteria, I would be grateful for an interview to discuss how I could contribute to SAP SME objectives.

First and foremost, Thank you Clive... I guess the exercise of customizing the letter to the position is something I would do once there is a clear definition of tasks (use same words as position description and so on). In essence, I was looking for feedback about the general feel of the letter and it's effectiveness at relating my experience. Style, format, punctuation, grammar... is it the righ

Hi,

It feels to me very lofty. Do you want to be the Director of the division?

Hi,

OK. Don't know what that is, but it sounds senior.

It seems to me there are two general approaches. One is to try to sound very practical, and to use simple, clear and direct language in order to sound like a clear thinker. The other is to use a lot of managerial and conceptua

It is good to see you write that there are two approaches since that was my initial objective, to demonstrate experience and the ability to clearly communicate. Did not realize one was exclusive of the other...

Channel Manager is the person responsible for indirect sales objectives.
SAP offers their software through resellers (Reseller Channel Manager would be synonym).
