Re: Asia-Pacific Tour Retail Sales Manager

28/07/01

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write this letter to you today in application for the position of Retail Sales Manager in the Singapore Production.

I am perfect for this position and here is why…

Over the last 10 years I have run a retail newsagency in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, which is ranked #1 in Newspaper Sales in Australia.

Quite simply I am a proven performer:

· I have juggled with suppliers, managing all purchasing decisions and computer controlled inventory systems. · I have walked the tightrope that is retail sales, including recruiting and training all staff. Setting up promotions, managing the total retail environment. · I have performed great feats of management including computer management, sales reporting, cash management, supplier relationships and management of all retails sales areas within the business. · I have amazed management with the development of an extensive operations manual detailing all duties and responsibilities of all retail staff and retail management.

I admit, that I cannot swing on the trapeze (although I would not mind having a go!) and I have never been a clown, but when it comes to retail sales…

I can be a star of the show!

I attach my resume and I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Kind Regards

Finn Taylor
