Dear [Hiring manager's name],
I run the business side of three veterinary clinics for Cascade Veterinary Partners, $5.4M in combined revenue and 45 staff, while the doctors focus on medicine and I focus on everything that keeps the doors open around them. I'm applying for the Business Manager role at [Company name] because I want that same kind of full operational ownership at a larger group.
Revenue across the three clinics has grown 19% in two years, partly from better scheduling that cut no-show rates and partly from renegotiating our supply contracts, which brought costs down 11% without switching vendors mid-year. Client retention sits at 92%, and I track it monthly because a veterinary practice lives or dies on whether clients come back after the first visit, not just whether they show up once and never call again.
I manage payroll, scheduling and inventory across all three sites in AVImark, handle vendor negotiations directly, and sit in on every new-hire interview alongside the lead doctor at each location. When a clinic's numbers dip, I'm usually the first to notice, because I review each site's P&L myself every week rather than waiting for a monthly rollup.
I'd welcome the chance to talk through how that same hands-on, weekly-numbers approach could support [Company name]'s locations, wherever the biggest opportunity is right now. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Ethan Walker
