Retail Manager

DIANE SMITH 120 Pleasant Valley Road, Mendham, NJ 07945 Cell: 973-714-5587  Home: 973-543-0790 dianesmithinc@yahoo.com JUNE 1, 2010 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to introduce myself and make you aware of my desire to seek new career opportunities. As a top performing Sales and Business Manager, I have started and run my own company with three retail locations and know exactly what it takes to satisfy customers and drive profitable growth. Thinking creatively, delivering on my commitments and practicing consistent follow through has enabled me to lead teams that routinely achieve superior results. Being part of a progressive organization with strong growth potential and an employee oriented culture is my main goal. In this type of environment, I am confident that I can best utilize my business acumen, problem solving ability, and interpersonal skills to meet customer needs and company objectives. I was featured in The New Jersey Start Ledger, November, 2006 for my exquisite table design and recipes for Thanksgiving Day. I pride myself in meal preparation and presentation and have been told by many that I am akin to Martha Stewart, and that I should write a book pertaining to display. Enclosed is a resume that details my experience. While resumes can tell a lot about someone’s career, I believe the personal side is of equal importance. Along those lines, I am a high energy, self-directed leader who enjoys setting and achieving difficult goals. I have been told by co-workers that my can-do attitude, passion, and ability to see the big picture while paying attention to the details are among my strengths. I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss our mutual interests and explore how my approach to business can add significant value to your company. Please contact me at your earliest opportunity for that purpose at either of the numbers above or by e-mail if that is more convenient. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Diane Smith
