Sales Role Cover Letter Help
Hi I am an 18yo applying for jobs in the Sales area,
I was hoping you could read what I have so far and make any improvements that you the could help me.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Application for "XXX" – Sydney, Australia
I wish to apply for the above "XXX" Position that I have seen online on the Australian Seek website.
I am a very enthusiastic about my career in Sales, and highly motivated in doing a good job. I have good maths and numeracy skills, along with knowledge about finance, interest rates, factor rates etc. Along with this I have just purchased a brand new reliable car and have a clean driving record.
I am currently in a Sales position as an Account Manager. I enjoy challenging myself and very mature for my age. I enjoy making and designing proposals, templates, cost comparisons, keeping busy and doing multiple tasks.
I am currently undertaking the following tasks;
§ Managing a portfolio of accounts;
§ Maintaining and building relationships with existing clients;
§ Researching new business leads and ‘pitching’ for new business;
§ Attending client meetings with CEO’s and Company Directors;
§ Achieving sales targets;
§ Ensuring necessary actions are undertaken by the account team and finance companies;
§ Setting up and finalising “Bartercard” deals.
§ Completing administrative work, including some invoicing.
§ Making proposals for clients.
Along with the above I have a large range of practical, hands-on and logistic skills, which I obtained whilst working at Subaru Penrith as a Parts Interpreter.
This involved;
§ Carrying out warehousing procedures.
§ Identifying automotive parts/components.
§ Apply sales procedures.
§ Merchandising procedures.
§ Cash and/or credit/funds transfer transactions.
§ Pick and Pack parts/components/materials.
§ Build customer relations.
§ Carry out manual handling operations.
§ Provide information and advice regarding the products/services of the enterprise to meet client needs.
§ Operating a computer to gain access to and retrieve data.
§ Purchasing parts/components/materials for stock or special orders.
As you can see I have quite a lot of experience and training and I feel that I can really bring this to your team, with my very enthusiastic, keen to learn and hard working attitude.
I have attached a resume for your review and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
-Andy

Hi, You need to remove these long lists from your letter. They should form part of your resume. Instead of such detail, in your letter you should highlight the skills and qualities you have that mean the employer should give you the job and no-one else.
