Sales resumes live or die on numbers. Quota attainment, revenue, and deal size matter more than adjectives. Here is how to make your results impossible to miss.
Quota attainment is the headline: "118% of quota, 3 years running". Revenue generated, deals closed, average deal size, and ranking ("#2 of 40 reps") tell a hiring manager exactly what you deliver.
Prospecting, qualifying, closing, account growth — name the parts you own. Specify inbound vs outbound, the sales cycle length, and deal complexity (SMB vs enterprise).
CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), sales engagement tools, and any methodology (MEDDIC, Challenger, SPIN). Recruiters search for these and they signal you can ramp fast.
Pipeline built, win rate, new logos landed, expansion revenue, churn reduced. Even "grew territory 40% in 18 months" beats a paragraph of soft skills.
Work the relevant terms into your bullets. ATS and recruiters search for exactly these:
Recommended template: Modern or Accent. PickedCV’s clean, ATS-friendly templates put your quota attainment and revenue numbers front and center — where sales managers look first, never watermarked.
Use percentages and rankings: "120% of quota, top 5% of reps" works without disclosing confidential numbers.
