Store Manager Branch

To Whom It May Concern

I am Sales Manager with ten years retail and customer service experience. I have the ability and experience to manage a sales team as well as back of house staff while implementing company policies and procedures with ease. My core strengths are planning, organizing, leading and controlling, both as an individual and as a member of a team.

I am able to adapt to company culture and boost the morale of employees allowing for a more productive working environment. My key performance areas are being able to deliver on a branch business plan by meeting and exceeding business objectives, targets and improve productivity and customer service. Through my acquired experience in retail management I live by the concept of minimizing stock losses while increasing sales/revenue for the company as well as saving money while making money.

I have vast experience in marketing, visual display and showroom and store setup to maximize the revenues of FMCG. I can formulate task management systems by effectively delegating tasks to employees for a more productive working environment. I am able to conduct annual, quarterly, monthly, and daily stock takes as I believe this will ensure a healthy stock file. I have a basic understanding of financial, retail and operational principals for the functionality of a business. I am able to provide necessary reports and presentations professionally to management ensuring that they are kept well informed of the operational performance and issues of the business. I have managed major key accounts on a national level while maintaining excellent relationships ensuring the longevity and the success of continuous business. I am an extrovert, a real people’s person, with an avid interest in tackling new challenges and exploring new concepts.

I offer you my personal guarantee and assurance that whilst employed by the company, I will give my all into the tasks at hand, producing results to the best of my ability. I consider myself to be a straight forward, honest and trustworthy person as I feel this minimizes the chances of misunderstanding, allowing for a more productive working environment. An opportunity to be a part of the company’s working environment will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your favourable response and an interview where you could discuss my competencies. Thanking you

Yours faithfully
