If you’re looking for a new sales role and want your resume to stand out from the crowd, here are 3 of my best tips;
- Start and end with your achievements. A sales resume with no accomplishments is like an omelette with no eggs. Aim for at least three achievements under each role, such as internal promotions, awards that you may have won, over-achievements of quarterly/yearly revenue targets and significant accounts that you have won.
- Your resume needs to tell your story and be relevant, so don’t wash over your duties with jargon that you think will sound good. For example, if 50% of your role was cold calling, call it like it is and say that. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and if you’re applying for a new business role, the closer you get to show a completed sales cycle, the better.
- Write a killer summary and lose the cover letter. An overview of 4-5 lines related to the role you’re applying for is gold. It shows that you aren’t just applying for every job position but have a specific objective in mind, and you know what you want. For example, if you are going for a new business sales hunter role, it’s important not to come across as an Account Manager and vice versa, so keep it focused and relevant.
