Subject: Application for Sales Executive

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Sales Executive position at Himalaya Software. Over four years in B2B sales I have learned that the best results come from understanding a customer's problem first, and that is how I would approach your accounts.

At Prairie Cloud Solutions I achieved 128% of my $140,000 annual target and ranked second among 18 sales executives. I closed 22 new enterprise accounts and kept a 92% renewal rate across 45 clients.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can help Himalaya Software grow. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
Henry Sinclair
