Summary

I am writing to express my interest in the Sales Interior Design position at your company. While I do not have direct experience in the interior design industry, I bring over 10 years of experience in car sales, which has equipped me with valuable skills in customer relationship management, negotiation, and sales strategy.

During my time in the car sales trade, I consistently exceeded sales targets and built long-term relationships with clients by providing excellent service and attention to detail. I have experience handling a wide variety of clients and have developed a strong ability to understand customer needs and offer tailored solutions. I believe these skills are highly transferable to the interior design industry, where understanding the client’s vision and providing the right design solutions are key to success.

Additionally, I'm fluent in both Chinese and Malay, enabling me to communicate effectively with a diverse range of clients, which I believe would be an asset to your team. I am eager to leverage my sales background and language proficiency to contribute to your company’s success.

I would welcome the opportunity to join your team and learn more about the interior design industry. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your company.

Best regards
Shawn Tan
