Sales Representative Resume Example made with Resume Star

Sales managers hire reps who can prove they hit their number. Put your quota results, the accounts you opened and the territory you grew where a hiring manager sees them first.

Tips for a sales representative resume

  • Lead with quota attainment. Give your percent of quota for each year, and your rank on the team if it was strong.
  • Show growth in dollars. Territory or book revenue before and after, deal sizes and new accounts opened.
  • Say what and who you sell to. The product, the buyers (owners, purchasing managers, IT) and whether you sell inside, outside or both.
  • Name your tools. Salesforce, HubSpot or other CRM, and how you build pipeline: cold calls, email, LinkedIn, trade shows.
  • Coming from retail? Use your sales numbers: top seller rankings, credit cards or memberships opened, and upsell results.
