Dear Mr./Ms.

As an ex-serviceman who has completed 15 years serving the Country’s Army, the Retail Sales Assistant role at your *** outlet would be an ideal way to start beginning my next career. My interest and passion for sales would suit your requirement, and I would like to pass on my knowledge to others.

During my school and college days, I worked at my relative’s retail stores – hardware and clothing store, and I grew up developing a strong interest and understanding of what is needed to take the retail store to the next level without compromising on customer satisfaction. My passion for the trade, sales, and assistance to customers would make me a better tradesperson.

My strengths and attributes that I believe would make me suitable for this role include –

• Motivation skills – Have developed superior motivational skills both on my professional front and while doing volunteering services while I was in college.
• Customer service – Assisting in increasing sales volume by nearly 23% and providing exemplary customer satisfaction and retention.
• Communication – finely honed communication skills, both verbally and in writing, and a small proof of this is listed in my resume as well.

Even though I may have less experience in the field, I understand well the customer’s profile who visit the store and will be able to help them in securing the stock they need, and will help the store as they coordinate the best deals and promotions. My proactive nature and my ability to stand and work for long hours in the sales atmosphere is an added advantages that I carry with me.

I would love to hear from you at your earliest possible time so that you can judge me for yourself. In the meantime, I am available for a call at *** or you can as well mail to my ****.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!
