If you’re looking for a new sales role and want your resume to stand out from the crowd, here are a few tips;<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Start and end with your achievements. <\/span><\/h2>\n

A sales resume with no achievements is like an omelette with no eggs. Aim for at least three achievements under each role, such as internal promotions, awards won, over-achievements of quarterly\/yearly revenue targets and major accounts that you have won.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Your resume needs to tell your story, and it needs to be relevant, <\/span><\/h2>\n

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, then 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 showing a completed sales cycle, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Write a killer summary and lose the cover letter. <\/span><\/h2>\n

A summary 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
