I appreciate the opportunity to apply for this position. If it’s a hunter you are looking for then you have found one! I’ve spent the past 25yrs developing business In sales and marketing sectors. Building up large databases and a credible name in every industry I’ve entered. I’ve excelled in every sales based job I’ve taken on, selling cars, houses, exhibition space, timeshare, photographic gear, tracking devices and business solutions. As someone who is very familiar with technology and CRM solutions, I’m confident I could source new business, create a successful marketing strategy and set new sales records within your business. I’m a well rounded family man, with a beautiful home in Northcliff overlooking the city, a wife and 2 adorable kids (5yrs and 4months respectively) a new luxury vehicle, own laptop and business tools, and my fitness watch tells me I’m 34. Everybody knows me as a go getter and problem solver, I’m sociable and comfortable presenting ideas to large groups and mingling with C-level customers. Establishing business relationships and selling solutions is my strong point, as is creating detailed sales plans, custom proposals and leveraging existing contacts to broaden my business resources. I’m a networker by profession, maxed out at 30000 direct business contacts on LinkedIn, multiple social media profiles on most platforms (used almost exclusively for business), and with a large JHB based email database of professionals with influence. Your company will feel confident having me represent you, even though I’m an energetic target driven sales and marketing executive I am very level headed and calculating and will always approach every situation from multiple angles and with the companies best interests at heart. I’m ethical, trustworthy and loyal. My track record speaks for itself, I was awarded top salesperson at every single one of my previous positions. At Sandown Motors I was awarded an AMG limited edition watch for bringing in the most sales of anybody within the entire Mercedes Benz group nationwide. At Homenet, I was awarded the groups agent of the month on numerous occasions. At Tracker Network I won trips overseas, and was promoted 3 times for being their top business developer (dealing with the heads of SAs biggest insurance firms). And my most recent project was creating a multi-million Rand annual event for the Imaging industries (photographic, computing, printing, hardware and software, etc). The event grew to be one of the largest in the world, held annually at The Dome, with supplementary smaller events, and ran for a decade before I sold it last year to Messe Frankfurt (the worlds 2nd largest trade fair business). Ample references are available on request. I’m absolutely confident that I will be a valuable asset to your business, and will be able to help not only reach my personal sales targets but also to assist with developing and motivating the team to grow alongside me. I would love to meet and discuss, I’m only consulting to businesses currently on a freelance basis since the sale of my business so I’m available to start immediately. Travel is also not a problem. Looking forward to your response Matt Raven (***)-***-****
