Start and end with your achievements. A sales resume with no achievements in it is like an omelette with no eggs. Aim for at least 3 achievements under each role, such as Internal Promotions, Awards won, Over-achieved Quarterly \/ Yearly revenue targets and major accounts that you have won. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><span id=\"ember7766\" class=\"ember-view\">2. Your resume needs to tell your story, and it needs to be relevant, so don&#8217;t wash over your duties with jargon that you think will sound good. If 50% of your role was cold calling, then call it like it is and say that. It&#8217;s nothing to be ashamed of, and if you&#8217;re applying for a new business role, the closer you get to show a completed sales cycle, the better. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><span id=\"ember7766\" class=\"ember-view\">3. Write a killer summary and lose the cover letter. A summary of 4-5 lines that relate to the role that you&#8217;re applying for is gold. It shows that you aren&#8217;t just applying for every role but have a specific objective in mind, and you know what you want. If you are going for a new business sales hunter role, it&#8217;s important not to come across as an Account Manager and vice versa, so keep it focused and relevant. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\" aria-hidden=\"false\"><span id=\"ember7766\" class=\"ember-view\">Would be great to hear other tips..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a new sales role in 2019 and want your resume to stand out from the crowd, here are a few tips; 1.
