Send a letter to the Chairman

For companies with sales over $100 million, the Chairman is known 30% to 40% of the time. If you're the CEO of a small company, perhaps you would fit in as the EVP, COO or Division President of a larger company. In this case, your letter should place more emphasis on your accomplishments and less on your title. Also consider targeting multiple executives at the Fortune 100, 500 and 1000 companies.
