A Case Study 

David was a Dallas-based construction equipment salesperson who had been unemployed for months. Because of his conviction that the Traditional System was the only way he could get hired, he was in debt, angry, frustrated, bitter, and felt he had run out of options.

But the real problem was that David had stopped thinking like a pro-active, professional salesperson and thanks to the Traditional System, was instead thinking like a passive and helpless job seeker.

David knew he was good and he knew what he wanted, but he couldn’t seem to get there. He was in touch with a recruiter who represented a company he really wanted to work at, so he had sent her a resume and this Traditional System cover letter:

David’s Letter – Before
(Written to the Recruiter)

Patti,

It was a real pleasure talking to you and I am equally interested in furthering our discussions regarding the Stone Panels position. I strongly believe that I am the candidate they seek to fill the field representative position. My diversified experience and abilities definitely fit within the parameters of this position.

At this point in my career, my objective is to become a representative so that I can utilize my skills towards servicing national representative accounts, marketing, customer service, project coordination, personnel and industrial relations.

I wish to apply these along with the managerial exposure I am accustomed to, and apply them to Stone Panel. As you can see from the enclosed material, while at my former jobs, I was actively involved in making management decisions and have held a wide array of responsibilities. I thoroughly believe that my background and credentials would make me a particularly valuable asset to any firm.

If you agree that I have the potential to contribute to the overall growth and profit of your client’s bottom line, I would appreciate the opportunity to show them how I can help meet their goals.

                                                                                                Highest regards,

You would never know it from reading this letter, but David was exceptionally passionate about this company and one of their products that had virtually unlimited potential for sales.

Janet reminded David that the recruiter he was convinced was his only way into the company was simply a third-party agent, and that the only person who had the authority to hire him was the company’s sales manager.

David’s letter was revamped to express his genuine enthusiasm about the company and was addressed to the sales manager. The recruiter, who would be paid a commission no matter who got the job, gladly sent the sales manager David’s resume and this Contrarian System cover letter:

David’s Letter – After
(Written to the Company’s Sales Manager)

Dear Mr. Utterback,

As a resident of North Dallas off the Tollway, I pass the Landmark Building and Providence Towers every day. Each time I look at the buildings’ beautiful façades, I can’t help but think how they enhance the buildings as an investment and enrich the lives of the people who work in them.

And as a construction salesperson, I can appreciate why your lightweight natural stone building panels are so popular. Because StoneLite is 80% less weight than solid stone, a building’s structural support system doesn’t have to be as massive, and your layering of aluminum honeycomb between two fiber reinforced epoxy skins provides year-round insulation, which reduces on-going operational costs.

There must be hundreds of architects, developers, building owners and corporations who have yet to learn the advantages of installing StoneLite on their buildings and working with StonePanels as a supplier. Perhaps I can help you reach them.

As you can see from the attached material, I’ve been in building construction, remodeling, value engineering and construction sales for nearly 20 years, specializing in building exteriors.

Mr. Utterback, I’d like to explore with you how we might work together to increase StonePanel’s business, and will call you next week to discuss this with you. Thank you for your time, and I’m looking forward to speaking with you.

                                                                                                Sincerely yours,

The result of this letter and David’s revamped resume was so dramatic that David was astonished. When he called to follow-up, the sales manager and the company president jointly invited David to come to the office and he was hired on the spot. A few months later, when talking about his work, David said, “It’s the easiest job I ever had.”
