Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Sales Engineer position at [Company]. I have [number] years of experience as a sales engineer, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is product demonstrations, technical discovery, proofs of concept. Two results from that work: - Was the technical lead on deals worth $8M closed in a year, with a 41% win rate - Ran 150 demonstrations, each on the buyer’s own data [One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results, and hands-on experience with AWS, Azure and Python, which the posting asks for. I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [Your name]
