I am writing to express my interest in the sales director position. Understanding today’s economy and the global competition that every company has to face, I foresee that you need increasingly innovative ideas to handle your sales and business development needs and I can meet these needs quite effectively.
Owing to the fact that I hold many years’ worthy experience in business development, sales and operations, I offer both vision and scope. With a strong record of providing decisive team leadership and farsighted direction, I have had uncountable opportunities to exceed both self and company targets in my career.
- Outlining sales scopes, managing timelines, and deadlines
- Tracking and reporting on overall progress
- Managing daily operations and implementation of new strategies
- Forecasting revenues and ensuring all goals are met
By providing the kind of innovation and leadership, I intend to increase your market share and presence as the leader in the local, GCC and international markets
I believe that I would be a perfect fit for the Director of Sales role in which I could continue to exercise and broaden my business development and sales skills. I have attached my resume and look forward to discussing how my qualifications would be beneficial in this role.

Best regards,

Raji Zakharia
