Dear Mr. Lockey,
RE: Senior Manager, Partners Role
My first interaction with QuickMobile was at the GBTA convention in Denver in 20XX. I downloaded the convention app
and it was immediately clear that QuickMobile got it. The solution was intuitive and significantly improved the conference
experience. I was also struck by the fact that delegates were talking about the app the entire week in Denver. The
product seemed to sell itself through word of mouth. Earlier this year, I also had the pleasure of meeting Rob Precious
from the QuickMobile team at a reception my company was hosting at the New York ACTE conference in June. Our
discussions only helped to reinforce my favourable impression of QuickMobile.
Last October I read an interesting press release that featured an interview with you on the importance of relationships
with partners like American Meetings, PSAV and Jack Morton. I completely agreed with all of your comments. My
experiences managing a product targeted at the Global Meetings market has put me in charge of relationships with
Professional Conference Organizers, Corporate Travel Managers and Tradeshow Associations. The relationships with
these partners have been critical to the success of driving new business for our product.
I have been keeping a close eye on the QuickMobile career site over the past several months. Last week I saw a very
interesting posting on LinkedIn for a Senior Manager, Partnerships. As an experienced client relationship manager, with
a strong technical background and an in depth knowledge of the buying behaviours for QuickMobile’s target market, I
feel I could make a valuable contribution on your Partnership team. Areas where I could make an immediate contribution
include:
Partnerships/Client relations – my entire career has involved cultivating strong relationships between partner
organizations. I managed a portfolio of large multi-national corporate accounts for more than 8 years, totalling
more than $25M USD in annual revenues, so have developed strong relationships with Travel Managers and
Procurement teams at companies across North America.
Business development – I am currently responsible for a product portfolio that generates annual revenues of
over $650M USD. Included in this portfolio is a Global Meetings travel solution. The product generates an
average of 10 RFPs per week and reaches audiences of more than 43,000 targeted customers a month.
Technology background – early in my career I spent several years as an IT analyst managing our
organization’s websites and hosted services. I then transitioned into Commercial roles that have often involved
managing online product platforms. The most recent being the website for our Global Meetings product
( ).
I look forward to discussing my fit with this role and QuickMobile’s culture further in an interview. While I currently located
in New York City, I am in the process of relocating back to Vancouver and will make myself readily available throughout
the interview process. I will follow up in a week’s time to discuss my candidacy.
Sincerely,
Robert Atkins
