Example

Subject: Application for the car sales advisor position

Dear Mr Gillioz,

Your dealership is looking for a sales advisor for new and used vehicles. I have sold cars for six years, and the electric range of the brand you represent is the one I have trained on most.

At Automobiles du Rhône SA, I sell around 140 vehicles a year, new and used. I advise customers on financing and leasing, value trade-ins and organise handovers. I hold the manufacturer’s electric vehicle sales certification, and these models now make up 35% of my sales.

Your workshop’s reputation and your loyal customers are strengths I would be glad to build on.

My notice period is three months, and I am happy to work Saturdays. I would be glad to meet you.

Kind regards,
Alexandre Carron
