Dear Recruiting Manager,

Thank you for taking the time to review my application for the [name of position] at [organization]. I have seven years of work experience as a product specialist focusing on medical devices, most recently with Johnson and Johnson Medical Devices. At J&J, I had the opportunity to attend several U.S. industry summits on healthcare regulation and management forums.

My experience and expertise in the healthcare industry coupled with solid analytical skills make me an ideal candidate for this position. Below I have highlighted a few key skills that I will bring to your team:

Sales Excellence with Data-driven Decisions: At J&J, I was in charge of the sale of medical devices in 4 key account hospitals where the firm had relatively low market share. I compiled extensive quantitative sales data for J&J versus competitors, allowing me to allocate resources to key industry targets more efficiently. Under my supervision, the market share of J&J products increased from 40% in 2009 to 95% in 2013.

Market Analysis: As a product specialist, I led the initiative to design and develop sales tools and to apply market segmentation analysis. Under J&J’s flagship Professional Education program, I provided 80+ clinical trainings to 1000+ clients on the latest medical concepts. I achieved 24% annual sales growth in 2009/2010 and 37% in 2011/2012, and was awarded National Top Sales Achiever.

Channel Management and Process Improvement: I was responsible for promoting more than 300 products (SKUs). To cover such a wide product spectrum, it was vital to manage inventory and maintain healthy relationships with distributors. I analyzed the current system and procedures and designed a new system and communication procedure for all my key accounts in order to optimize the inventory management. This led to an 8% deduction in distributor costs.

Strong Work Ethic and Crisis Control Ability: In my fourth year in J&J, I encountered a serious product quality issue at one of my key hospitals. The hospital was about to stop using all J&J products and preparing to launch a litigation process. Recognizing my communication and problem solving skills, J&J appointed me as the chief negotiator on this case. My persistent collaboration with the client and J&J’s Quality Assurance Department regained the hospital’s trust, and saved this critical account worth $150,000 in annual revenue.

Additionally, I would mention a consistent track record of hard work, commitment to following through, and achieving clear results that have business impact. I’m confident that I can make a contribution at J&J in the [name of] role. I appreciate your time in reviewing my application and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jack Candidate
