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.
