Dear [Hiring Agent Name],

I am currently seeking a challenging career opportunity in a (INSERT TITLE OF TARGET POSITION) capacity and am submitting my resume for your review. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration. As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, my professional qualifications include the following accomplishments:

  As a professional, I bring to any role over 20 years of managerial and operational expertise, paired with a strong work ethic and ability to effectively lead others in sales and retail environments.

  In any role I take on, I feel confident and comfortable in interacting with clients, colleagues, managers and stakeholders at all levels. I leverage my interpersonal and organizational skills to excel both independently and in team environments in a continual effort to achieve or surpass organizational objectives.

  In my current capacity as a Retail Store Manager with The Vitamin Shoppe in Bridgewater, I successfully increased the new customer count by over 1.2K within four months. I attribute this to the use of engaging and retention-focused customer loyalty programs. I also find that fostering a culture based on holistic wellness and a positive working environment only served to further promote cultural competency levels among personnel and expand the sales scope across a broad client base.

  In my time serving as the President for two GNC franchises under the name Hasselbrook Health and Fitness, I turned profit within the first three operational years with margins of 50% or more due to the facilitation of regional sales contests that increased brand recognition and attracted clientele. My locations were recognized for their fast growth and average of $40 per sale in an environment with a $24 corporate average.

  Outside of my long career history, I also hold a Mini MBA in Social Media Marketing and a Bachelor of Science in Economics with an Accounting concentration, both from the nationally-renowned Rutgers University. I also engage in regular professional development and networking through engagement in conferences, trade shows and other important business events.

As an employee, you will find me to be a driven team player committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance. I am confident that I could be a valuable asset to your organization, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
