What a sales representative cover letter should focus on
your quota attainment, the segment you sell to, and a deal that shows how you win
- Open with your strongest number and the segment you sell to.
- Tell a short story of a deal you won and how you won it.
- Show hunger and coachability; sales leaders hire for both.
