Objective

To conquer and challenge the world of bass fishing, to better myself with knowledge of this great sport, to educate, and to promote the awesome sport of professional angling by living a strong code of ethics. To sell, promote, or give sponsored products, whether it be a single, young angler's beginning sitting on the dock or thousands of amateurs that I come in contact with through out the tournament seasons.

Personal

Hello my name is Shawn Moore I reside in White Oak, TX and have been fishing for 21 years with 9 of those years in competition. I have enjoyed fishing many of the local trails including: The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail in which I took angler of the year for the 2008 season and qualified for a chance to fish in the national championship on the Red River in March of 2009. I've also been featured on a local television program called the Ark-La-Tex Sportsman multiple times which airs in north east Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. I was born in Meyersdale, PA on the night of January 31, 1982. I grew up in a small city called Longview, in north east Texas, right in the heart of southern bass fishing. With about two dozen of wonderful well known lakes, within an hour or two's drive, I can see how my love for the sport grew. Throughout my teen years, I fished every opportunity that I had. Many of times in tournaments, in which I was able to learn many things.

EXPOSURE
Due to the nature of my job as a boat salesman I am often on the radio or giving demonstrations at many events such as: boat shows, bass fishing tournaments, and live remotes with various radio stations in the store front of H&W Marine. I am in contact with well over 2500 people a year due to these events. I am also recognized at Triton Boats as a top salesman in the bass boat industry.
I am often placing well in tournaments and have been featured on FishingWorld.com due to Fishers of Men posting results on the web site.
I have also been featured on a local T.V. show called The Ark-La-Tex Sportsman for my divisional win on Lake Wright Patman in June, 2008. As a result of this win I have made three bass fishing shows with Ark-La-Tex Sportsman on Caddo Lake and Lake O the Pines. This show gives me additional 50,000 to 100,000 homes that receive the show 75 times a month. I am doing more shows for them in the near future on Wright Patman Lake, the Red River in Shreveport, LA., and more shows on Lake O the Pines.

Advertising cost
Along with the television exposure I do drive 75 miles a day to work on Interstate 20, which equals 18,000 miles in one year just from interstate driving. A truck wrap would be very cost effective at 3000 dollars (est cost) for a wrap. The amount of exposure per person if you figured I see 400 cars a day or 96,000 cars in one year would equal a cost of .03 cents per person that saw the advertisement. As for the a boat wrap to help promote your product the cost is much less due to the exposure of television, I have done three show this year which at the most would be exposure to 100,000 homes per show. With the average family now at 4 people, that is exposure to a potential 400,000 people per show! The cost of the boat wrap per person just from television would be less then 1 cent per person. These figures are just from a small sampling of the amount of exposure I can offer a company to help promote a product that I can believe in and trust.

My Strongest attributes
Working with the general public, the ability to sell a product that I believe in, and the opportunity to meet people who enjoy the same lifestyle as I do.

HOW I can help you
I can help your company by providing you with an outstanding individual to represent our industry and a role model for younger anglers to look to. I do have a big following of local anglers that I fish with and against to sell your products with word of mouth advertising , to the customers that purchase boats from me through out the year and on the television show that I participate in.

Actually very impressive and you have done some great home work with the numbers. I personally think you went overboard on the television numbers, yes there are 4 members in a home but you will be lucky to have the wife watching so that cuts you two 3 and if both children are watching 1) are they old enough to be customers and 2) they probably already have a branding because of the family. So I would look more to just the fact that you are reaching these homes. Do you have a way to prove though the station census exactly how many homes viewed your show? That would be awesome!!

Your objective is very strong and definitely makes a statement, it makes me want to meet you so that works for me

Your Personal information, you have mixed it up by talking third person about your self. Don't do that just talk about your self as if it was you talking.

Your exposure... You talk about the Ark-la-Tex sportsman and it airing 75 times a month? that's over 2 times a day? Is this a realistic number and can you back it up. A larger potential sponsor is not going to take this one for granted. The will like it but will want proof.

"I can help your company by providing you with an outstanding individual to represent our industry and for someone to look up to as a role model." In this statement are you telling your potential sponsor that you are so good that if they sponsor you they can now look up to you? I know that's not what you meant but it can be read that way.

Through out your resume you use the word "PUSH" when you are referring to company's products. Take that out, no one wants their product pushed on people, they want it sold to them 


Just some things I seen, over all I thought it was very good. It is kind of long, Your experience and the boat shows that you have worked, I would just tell them that these things are available upon request and leave them out of the first contact. If your resume is too long they will loose interest, a potential sponsor is busy and you gotta grab them with one page. Once you get a meeting with them, then bring all your additional information to wow them with.

Thank you Mike. I knew had mistakes just needed someone else to point it out. As for the number of times the show airs, I can get the proof as how many times a day it airs and get a better number of homes that do receive it, However 100,000 is not far off as the show airs in 4 states. I was thinking about changing someone to young anglers or younger generation, some where along those lines?  Once again thank you for helping me out on those things.

Never a problem
