If you’re eager to hit the “apply” button on a new account manager job, we don’t blame you. But first, take some time to prepare an account manager cover letter that communicates your interest in the position and why you’re a great candidate.

Just as you develop strong relationships with customers to land and keep an account, you’ll need to win over a potential employer in your cover letter to be considered for a job. Employers typically want to see how your skills, experience, and accomplishments relate to the position you’re applying for.

For example, your cover letter could highlight the following details:

  • Your passion for developing relationships with customers.
  • Metrics that quantify your professional achievements (e.g., the number of quotas you surpassed).
  • What you would contribute to the company you’re applying to.

Ready to get started? Below, you’ll find an account manager cover letter sample that can show you how it’s done.

Re: Account Manager, Job. Ref. #12345

Dear Mr. Brooks:

As a solutions-focused commercial insurance account manager with 5 years of top-ranked experience, my qualifications are an excellent fit for the account manager position at Company One.

Since joining Company Two 3 years ago as an account manager (commercial lines), I have built loyal, lasting relationships with small business customers spanning a range of industries. My passion for winning new business is matched by my drive to exceed customer expectations, and I have proven my strengths in each of these areas through my history of:

  • Quota-surpassing production at Company Two for 3 years in a row.
  • #1 scores in policyholder satisfaction amongst account managers region-wide for the past 2 years.
  • Top 3 results in the number of new commercial general liability (CGL), Workers Compensation (WC) and commercial property insurance policies written in the state of Florida during the past year.

These results are reproducible for Company One. If hired, I would be able to “hit the ground running” as a top-performing account manager, lead generator, and sales closer.

Backed by P&C licensure, I take pride in helping my clients mitigate risk and guard against losses. I have demonstrated strong communication skills with each of my accounts and deliver outstanding service by thoroughly explaining features, benefits, and coverage options to promote insurance plans optimally suited to customer needs.

Client service is regarded as a key factor behind Company One’s success as one of the nation’s premier insurance agencies. Let’s discuss how my commitment to the customer experience would add value to your winning team. Please call me at (555) 555-5555 to set up an interview.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Nealy
