Malik Rabb (123) 456-7891 mrabb@email.com May 1, 2018 Dear Hiring Manager, I’m excited to be applying for the Sales position at TradeLot. It’s clear that you’re looking for an experienced sales professional who can expand TradeLot’s reach in the legal and financial services industries. With my proven track record of both sales and sales training success, I am thrilled at the opportunity to help make this growth strategy a success. I was in charge of managing Retail Ocean’s new push for accessing major industry verticals in my prior employment. I created a new communication program that encouraged cross-departmental collaboration, resulting in a 15% reduction in lead time. I received numerous accolades for exceeding sales targets and was consistently ranked among the top 5% of Retail Ocean sales reps nationwide. I’m happy to be a four-time winner of the President’s Club Honor and the 2017 Account Opener of the Year award for producing more than $18 million in new customer accounts. I’ve created a broad repertoire of successful sales approaches over the course of more than seven years in B2B sales, but I also understand the necessity to be adaptable in today’s fast-changing environment. I’m dedicated to improving my abilities and generating consistent, dependable – and spectacular – results. Thank you for your attention and time. I’m interested in learning more about the Sales role as well as TradeLot. Growth is critical to my long-term success, and I’m looking forward to joining TradeLot’s industry-leading team. My track record of success and TradeLot’s high-quality items make for a winning mix for growing the company’s market share. Sincerely, Malik Rabb
