Dear Mr. Holman,
I am writing this letter to express my deep interest in the Sales Assistant position at [Retail Company] as advertised on [URL]. Having previous sales experience and a proven track record of meeting sales objectives at various retail stores (see references), I am convinced about my ability to add value to your sales team. Therefore, I want you to consider this job application for the sales associate position at your store in New York City.
To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Kayley Cheatham] and I have been working as a sales associate at [Company] for the past six years. I noticed that your store is one of the busiest stores in the region and I recognize [Brand]’s high quality products. The refined cut of last season’s clothing line really delight me. I wasn’t actively looking for a job change, but I became interested after [Colleague] referred me to your job posting.
I’d like to emphasize my familiarity with all aspects of the retail industry including taking inventory and merchandising. According to testimonials (see attachment), I’m being perceived as a friendly and approachable personality that puts customers at ease. I enjoy all aspects of the customer service process, which reflects my year-end sales performance. I managed to increase monthly sales by 18% and decrease customer complaints by 35% in 2021.
After [12.12.2022], I will be available for a 30-hour work week and I am able to work with a flexible schedule. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my candidacy and demonstrate my interpersonal skills. The requested documents are attached to this email. For additional information, you can contact me at [Phone number]. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Kayley Cheatham
