Sales Executive Resignation Letter
Sales resignations are about the pipeline. State what you will hand over — accounts, open deals, forecast notes — and ask how commission on deals closing after you leave will be treated.
Expect to be moved off client contact quickly; write the handover before you send the letter.
Sample letter
Subject: Resignation — Karthik Iyer, Senior Sales Executive
[Date] Dear Mr. Bhalla, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Senior Sales Executive at Prime Industrial Supplies. As per my notice period of 30 days, my last working day will be Friday, 16 October 2026. I have accepted a role in a different sector. I will hand over my territory with a current pipeline sheet, stage notes on every open opportunity and introductions to the twelve key accounts, and I will complete the Q3 forecast before I go. I would appreciate written confirmation of how commission on deals that close during and after my notice period will be calculated. During the notice period I will ensure a complete handover of my responsibilities and will document all ongoing work. Please let me know how you would like the transition planned, and kindly confirm my last working day and the relieving formalities in writing. Thank you for the support during my tenure. I wish the company and the team continued success. Sincerely, Karthik Iyer Senior Sales Executive

What to get right
- Ask about commission on in-flight deals in the letter, so the answer is in writing.
- Hand over the pipeline in the CRM, not in your head — it is your reference for the next job too.
- Do not contact clients about your move until your manager agrees on the message.
Generate yours — pre-filled for this situation
Notice period, reason and tone are set to match the example above. Change anything; the last working day recalculates.
