Dear Mr. Gardner,

I am pleased to submit my application for the open [Sales Associate] job posting listed on [URL] under [Vacancies]. Given my sales experience and proven track record in sales success, I am convinced about my ability to be a valuable asset to your team. In this cover letter, I will emphasize my motivation and qualifications for the open job role at your store in New York, NY.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Bob Price] and I have been a sales associate for two high-end brands for the past 10 years. I had the pleasure of speaking with [Colleague name], and she informed me about her monthly training sessions and [Brand]’s clothing line. The prospect of working in such an inspiring and growth-oriented environment is what makes me want to apply.

In my current role as a sales associate at [Company], I am recognized for my cross-selling techniques which significantly increased sales and customer retention. In 2021, I managed to assist 50 customers on a daily basis and pushed related products that generated $150k in additional revenue. In addition, I managed to register 370 customer accounts and contributed to a 95% positive feedback in a client satisfaction survey. I was praised for these results (see references). These achievements are a result of my personality to thrive on going above and beyond.

As of next month, I will be available for full-time employment (32-40-hour work week). I’d be thrilled to learn more about your product line and demonstrate my interpersonal skills. For additional information, you can reach me at [Phone number] or [Email Address]. Thank you for reviewing this letter and the attached documents.

Best regards,

Bob Price
