Dear Hiring Manager,

Thank you for the opportunity to submit this cover letter for the role of Sales Lead. My background and skills closely mirror your job description, and I am certain that I can make a positive impact on your bottom line.

I am a Certified Professional Sales Leader with 7 years of experience in identifying leads, driving business development activities, and closing deals both individually and in collaboration with internal partners. At NM Technologies, Inc., where I have worked as a Sales Manager for 4 years, I lead a team of 5 sales specialists to identify prospects and manage, nurture, and convert inbound leads into sales opportunities. On top of that, I:

• Developed a robust sales strategy, implemented effective sales procedures, and introduced a new sales tracking tool (HubSpotCRM)
• Deliver quarterly training and provide regular coaching to sales specialists to help them achieve ambitious sales targets; team secured 300% increase in sales within 1 year
• Steered a highly complex enterprise account from initial proposal through to product implementation (revenue $150,000+)
• Won Sales Lead of the Month, Sales Lead of the Year, and Employee of the Year awards for consistently exceeding sales targets

This role builds upon my previous 3 years of experience at OneZero Technologies as a Sales Specialist, where I closed deals worth a total of $7.2m during my time there.

I have an excellent reputation for my tenacity, relationship management, and negotiation skills, alongside very strong knowledge of the market and competitive landscape. I possess sound leadership, communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence effectively at all levels of the organization.

Please find attached my resume for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Elisa Blomme
