One thing beyond the cover letter is working on your professional networking. Make sure you're on Linkedin or the like and that recommendations and references are in place.

I won't even meet with a recruiter unless they have a specific opportunity with an potential interview with client scheduled. The recruiter can read my resume, look at me on Linkedin, see my picture on line, and I will supply them with references. I don't have time to go visit every agency that calls me because they need to see me in person before they'll submitt me or does not have a specific requirement they are working on. There are plenty of agencies that know who I am already and everything should speak for its self.
