To Whom It May Concern: My name is Pierre A Taylor currently employed as the National Sales Manager with Enjoy Foods

International in Fontana CA. My 25 + years of successful Sales and Management experience have involved several industries from Automotive to Route Sales, Recruiting, Food Manufacturing, Direct Sales MLM and Real Estate. I have experience in selling to Costco, Sams Club, Smart & Final, Ralphs Grocery, Albe rtsons and a host of other distributors and wholesalers in California. I believe selling is an art form as well as a profession; there are several key factors that must be in place in order to be successful in selling anything. 1. Selling yourself comes first, if you're not a likeable person no one will buy anything from you. 2. Know your product or service inside out. Knowledge is the key to success. 3. Know your competition; be aware of who is sharing or trying to invade your ma rket. 4. Understand your demographic, your customer, who is buying your product or ser vice. 5. Study the market trends to determine the direction your product or industry i s headed. 6. Set short term and long term goals to stay on track for success. 7. Be persistent, overcome objections, understand the word NO is just an opportu nity to realize how to get the desired YES and close the sale. 8. Listen, listen, listen, knowing what your customer wants and needs will help you close the sale. These are just a few of the elements you must employ to be successful in selling anything. I love the challenge of selling, as a matter of fact it's not much of a challenge at all, as selling comes naturally to me. Currently I'm looking to move on to another chapter in my career of Sales and Ma nagement, the opportunity with your company sounds like the assignment for me. I f you grant me an interview you will understand why I'm so passionate about sell ing. I have many accomplishments to my credit and working with your company wil l allow me to add to that list.
