Cover letter sample
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Customer Service Representative (Dutch) position at Fortive Corporation. With over three years of experience in customer service and order management, combined with fluency in Dutch and English, I am confident in my ability to deliver exceptional support to your EMEA customers.
In my previous role, I managed the end-to-end order-to-cash process, including order entry, shipment tracking, and dispute resolution, using SAP and Salesforce.

I thrive in fast-paced environments and am dedicated to continuous improvement. I am eager to bring my strong communication skills, attention to detail, and customer-first mindset to Fortive. Thank you for considering my application.
Sample interview questions
In my previous role, a customer received a damaged shipment. I immediately apologized and coordinated with logistics to expedite a replacement. I kept the customer updated throughout the process and offered a discount on future orders. The customer appreciated the transparency and remained loyal.
I use a combination of urgency and impact. For example, I check delivery dates and customer priority levels. I also leverage tools like SAP to track order status and set reminders. If conflicts arise, I communicate with stakeholders to adjust expectations.
I have used SAP for order entry, inventory checks, and shipment tracking. In Salesforce, I logged customer interactions, managed cases, and generated reports. These tools helped me streamline processes and maintain accurate records.
I would proactively inform the customer about the delay, explain the reason, and provide a revised delivery estimate. I would then work with the supply chain team to expedite where possible and offer alternatives like partial shipments if available.
I prioritize clear and timely communication. I set up regular check-ins, share updates on customer issues, and collaborate on process improvements. I also ensure that I understand their priorities and align my actions to support mutual goals.
