Dear Ms. Lopez:

When I saw your posting for a Store Manager, I was eager to forward my resume for your review. As an experienced and highly successful retail manager with strong leadership and interpersonal abilities, as well as a proven track record of directing all aspects of store operations to continually improve sales and customer service results, I am prepared to significantly contribute to Red Skate in this role.

My background includes leading operations, teams, and sales / merchandising strategies to drive business and customer service success for high-volume store locations. From leading staff training and development programs to ensuring financial accountability to established budgets and P&L guidelines, I excel at propelling sales and revenue growth, managing top-producing teams, and achieving challenging corporate goals.

Highlights of my experience include…

Directing day-to-day operations, financials, store relocations / openings, and team building efforts, driving business success and goal achievement.

Excelling in consecutive leadership roles for The Jolly Rancher in 11 different store locations across 3 cities, spearheading all operations and up to 55+ employees; exceeding sales to budget by 10.4% while staying under target in labor hours vs. budget.

Ability to maintain up-to-date understanding of consumer trends in order to develop appropriate product mix, liaise effectively with a diverse client base, and provide the best possible training to enhance staff knowledge base and ensure customer satisfaction.

Communicate routinely with corporate leadership to ensure continually profitable operations within existing standards.

My skills in staff / operations management and dynamic sales leadership within challenging retail environments are proven, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to your environment. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be most welcome. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Kristin M. Blair
