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.
Send a letter to the CEO at smaller companies
CEOs need CEOs for reasons you might not expect.
The incumbent CEO might be looking for a
successor because of retirement, business expansion,
or just because he or she wants to move on and open
a new company. Or, the existing CEO may want to step back,
step down, or step up
as the Chairman. The reasons don't matter - what
matters is that they need help more often than you'd
expect.
