Re: Retail Manager (Ref Code: 12345) position, advertised on Monster
Dear Ms. Jones:
My 15+ years of experience managing big-box retail operations is an excellent match to the qualifications you are seeking for your New York City store manager. I bring to the table a record of delivering breakthrough improvements, multimillion-dollar sales growth and goal-surpassing performance-to-plan.
Since 1995 I have worked for XYZ Company, advancing through promotions and receiving dozens of awards for driving company-leading results across all key business metrics. In my current role as manager overseeing a $9 million flagship store, I have recently achieved:
- A 14% ($1.1 million) increase in quarterly store sales, despite the challenge of a severe market slowdown in the retail industry.
- An 8% reduction in shrink from 2008 to 2009, benchmarking a new-store best in this category across the district.
- A 15% increase in employee retention and improved staff morale by focusing on innovative employee training and incentive programs.
- Recognition for achieving the highest dollar-per-transaction averages companywide in 2009.
In all positions held, I have consistently met or exceeded profit and revenue growth goals. I would be honored to serve as manager of your New York City store and lead the team to achieve gains in revenues, service levels and customer satisfaction. If you agree that a meeting could be to our mutual benefit, please contact me at 555-555-5555 or email renee@somedomain.com. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Renee Simmons
