Dear__________________:

 

I am exploring new opportunities in Franchise Management and am submitting a brief resume of my background for review; in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, for the past 8 years as Owner/Manager of SS Cell Phone Centre,  I have been successfully operating 3 Rogers Wireless retail stores, growing them to service over 30K satisfied customers and employ 12 assistant management and sales/customer service associates.  I have applied my sharp business acumen toward steering all aspects of business operations, from P&L/budgeting, staffing and sales/customer service to marketing/promotion, purchasing, inventory control, and management-related administrative activities.  I believe this clearly illustrates my ability to thrive in taking on challenges, capitalizing on opportunities and steering businesses to achieve competitive market leveraging and strong bottom-line performance.  Complementing this, I earned a Certificate in Business Management and Marketing from Ryerson University in 2004 as well as a Bachelor of Engineering in Computers in 2000.

 

As a franchise owner/operator, you will find me to be a results-driven professional with a strong work ethic who is committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through dynamic leadership, strategic business planning and sound decision making.  I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your organization, and look forward to meeting to discuss how we can be of mutual benefit to each other s long-term goals.

 

Professionally,
