In today’s world of cell phones, caller ID, and do not disturb, reaching someone on the phone is undoubtedly difficult. Working at a call center can be tough for some, but luckily, I am one of those rare people who welcome the challenge. That is why I would like to be considered for the telemarketer position at your company.
Throughout my career in telemarketing, I have found success in completing sales. I have been able to make sales because I can hold a conversation with almost anyone. Instead of a sales or marketing call, a phone call from me turns into an interesting talk with a new friend.
During my conversations with potential customers, I also aim to listen to what they are saying. In my previous place of employment, this technique allowed me to earn the top sales spot month after month. This also allowed my company to increase revenue and model their telemarketing scripts after some of the techniques I used.
Now, I am looking for more challenges with an exciting position in your organization. I would love to tell you in person how I envision my success at your company. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
