Hammock Anyone?

I'm in love with a hammock. What do you do when you're in love with something? You try and sell it. The hammock that has won my affections is made by Eagle's Nest Outfitters. Check 'em out at www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com. I've attached the text of the email I sent the company to see if they would let me sell their products. These hammocks are wicked sweet. They really are a step above the traditional hammock. The hammock itself is made of nylon and packs away in a bag that is attached to the side of the hammock, and when it's packed away the whole thing is the size of a small football. You use nylon straps to support the hammock by wrapping them around a tree. The whole thing can be set up and taken down in less that three minutes once you find the right trees! Check out this email and let me know your thoughts. Holla'

Dear ENO,

I'm writing you today for several reasons. First, let me say that I am a tremendous fan of your product. I was made aware of your hammocks while living in Chattanooga, TN. On a random stop into the Grape Vine on Signal Mountain I saw the hammocks and thought I'd try one out. It was one of the greatest purchases of my life and I'm not exaggerating. It is the easiest hammock to use and as you know is extremely compact and very comfortable. Within the next couple of weeks I bought several to give as gifts. My excitement also led several of my friends to make the purchase as well. When I was in Costa Rica last December I even saw your sticker on a street sign in Montezuma.

The second reason I am writing is to find out more about how you market your product, and to let you know I'd be very interested in helping market your hammocks. I am a 26 year old gentleman now living in Texas, and I have several years of successful business to business sales experience with a major laboratory company. Essentially I was telling doctors what lab tests to run on their patients. It was a tough sale, but I was able to do it. I have reviewed your retailer locations in Texas and noticed that you had Sun and Ski Sports as a client. My interest would be to discuss your thoughts on expanding that business here in the Lone Star state or where ever else you may see fit.

I'm not going to suggest how to run your company, but I would be extremely interested in selling a world class product and more than that selling a lifestyle. I have no hard expectations as to what I expect from this email except an honest discussion of whether you think this is something that would work for you. I'd be happy to send along a resume and a list of references if you'd like, just let me know. Please feel free to contact me by phone at 9**-2**-8*** or simply reply to this email. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kindest regards,

Adam McConnell
