Dear Sir/Madam,
Application for the role of Field Sales Executive
I would like to apply for the role of Field Sales Executive which I have seen advertised in (where) and (when).
I have a proven track record in a sales environment and thrive off the challenge of making a sale. I am a very confident communicator and enjoy meeting new people and trying to close a sale.
In my previous roles I have been responsible for (what patch or area) and I have had to generate my own leads and make appointments and follow these up with a visit. I sometimes work very long hours to achieve my targets but this is something that I enjoy.
I like to work on my own initiative but I also have a wider network of colleagues which is always nice to keep in contact with to boost your spirits on a bad selling day.
I have had a great deal of training in sales and (what products or services) and would like to continue progressing my career within this environment.
I have enclosed my CV for your consideration which details my previous experiences. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read my letter and CV.
Yours sincerely
NAME SURNAME
Good luck with your job search and writing your cover letters.
