Tips, section by section
Profile
Two or three sentences: who you are, what you are strongest at and what you are looking for. For example:
B2B sales representative with 5+ years of experience. Beat annual quota by 25% three years running and closed a three-year contract worth $450K, the largest in the company’s history.
Experience
Most recent job first. Two to four bullets per job, each starting with a verb and ending with a result where you can.
Skills
Match the keywords in the job ad with skills you actually use. Six to ten skills are usually enough.
Education
With experience, keep education short: degree, school and years.
Tips for sales representative resumes
Give quota numbers as a percentage and revenue as an amount. Both are needed: 125% of a small quota is not the same as 125% of a large one.
Name the type of buyer and deal (SMB, enterprise, average contract value) so the reader can compare it with their own sales motion.
