Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. (Last Name):
Web Project Coordinator | Project Manager
Web Development | Team Leadership | Scheduling and Prioritizing |
Quality Management | Customer Service
In my years as a manager of web sites that drive traffic and increase sales, I have learned that presentation to and treatment of the customer, whether internal or external, is paramount. In fact, customer service directly relates to the success of the web site project, especially when the customers are actually internal stakeholders, and necessarily when the customers are purchasing entities.
In my professional experience, my customers included the teams that I project managed as well as long-term customers of the sites I strove to improve. In all cases, because my tight management of scheduling, attention to resource allocation, and budgeting management, I was able to increase traffic, improve timelines, and achieve the goals of the project. Additionally, as a strongly consultative project manager, I was able to negotiate difficult decisions with managers and staff at all levels through openly communicating project needs and learning stakeholder requirements, and then assimilating all team constraints and needs into an ongoing project plan that continued to meet institutional goals.
If your company is looking for a results-oriented web project manager with superior expertise in project planning, including assessments of objectives, timelines, priorities and risks, I would be interested in speaking with you to discuss the value that my strengths and experience can bring to your company. I can be reached in confidence at the above telephone number or email address. I look forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Roger Cogsworth
