ASRESUME 2015
- 1. Andy G. Swenson 2585 East I Road Ballantine, MT 59006 To Whom it may concern: As you will see from the attached resume, I come to you with a background that is solid and proof of my ability to work hard and strive to achieve goals. I have literally worked from the ground up in the ag industry from growing up on a ranch, to working for a ranch, and then venturing into ag sales, as well as running our own family business of a registered Angus herd. I am now looking to take the next step towards achieving my goals and furthering my career. I feel I would be an asset to your company, because of my proven sales and management accomplishments, my first class customer service and my desire to be a team player. At Walco Animal Health, I started with a territory that generated $250,000 a year. Four years later, my customer response built that territory to generate $4 million/year. In one year at the Johnson County Co-Op, I expanded the animal health and feed sales $300,000, while managing the staff and the daily operations. At Western Ranch Supply and Torgersons, I have garnered a number of new accounts and helped regain lost business. I spend a lot of time just listening to my customers, focusing on details and working with my clients to better achieve their goals. I am persistent, yet professional, and take the time to develop relationships by uncovering my customers needs. My accounts regard me as someone they want to do business with, and someone they can confide in to help them make their business decisions since they know I have been there, and done that. Secondly, I would be an asset to your company because I know the seedstock industry and have been a student of genetics for many years. Additionally, without a doubt, one of the main reasons I can grow a territory is because I provide excellent customer service. As you will see from my list of references, I am someone who cares about my customers and connects with them to build strong, long-term relationships, which is what I would love to do for ORIgen. I think that fostering those relationships with current and new customers will strengthen and grow your stronghold in the genetic services industry, and I would very much like to be a part of that. I can work independently, but I also strongly value being part of a team. Managing the co-op meant that I had to work with my staff to get the job done efficiently for the customer. At Walco, WRS and Torgersons, I worked more independently, but still relied on my support staff. Because of these experiences, I have acquired strong communication skills, as well as inter- personal relationship skills. I am looking forward to joining your team and being that person that people can look to and know that they are being taken care of. I truly want to be a strong face for your company in a position that challenges me and allows an opportunity to grow and exceed what is expected of me. I know it takes a lot of determination, hard work, long hours, perseverance and learning to thrive. I am excited for the potential to be a part of an industry that has been my passion for decades. Please contact me at 406-694-2713 if I can answer any further questions. Thank you. Sincerely, Andy G. Swenson
