Manager Sales

To: Human Resource Director,

RE: Account Executive or Business Development Manager

It gives me a great pleasure to apply for the above position with your company, currently posted on your website. I am very confident that I have the qualifications required to do an excellent job for your well-regarded organization.

I have been in the Automotive Industry for over 30 years in both corporate and retail environments. The last 15 years was in a managerial role within various departments of a dealership including Sales, Service and Parts. I have successfully demonstrated my leadership by developing and implementing a multitude of sales and marketing campaigns that resulted in a dramatic increase in sales, thus in profitability as well.

During my previous endeavors for the past 15 years I have made a tremendous difference in terms of increased profitability by 47% and customer retention of over 87% for Bolt’n Used Car Superstore dealership, where I was a Partner/General Manager as well as at MacIver Dodge where I was Sales Manager/Trainer and hands on Leader of the front line staff.

My achievements in sales, marketing and customer satisfaction are largely due to a combination of strong business sense including: creating a vision by developing, implementing and executing strategic plans and effectiveness in gaining the respect and cooperation from both senior management and front-line staff as well as appreciation from customers.

I am enthusiastic at the opportunity to contribute my strategic approach and skills to what has proven to be a winning formula at your establishment. I am confident that I can bring new and innovative ideas that will contribute to your team. I would welcome an opportunity to meet with you to discuss my experience and qualifications and how they may be of benefit to your organization.

I can be reached any time at 647-***-**** to arrange a time to meet.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Felix Novoselov
