No resume is more about numbers than a sales resume. Hiring managers want to know your quota, how often you beat it, your average deal size and where you ranked on the team. Without those numbers, even great sellers blend in.
This example belongs to an account executive with six years of experience in B2B sales. Every role opens with quota attainment, and the bullets cover pipeline, new logos and the sales methods employers look for.
Below you'll find summary examples for different levels, the skills to include, bullet points you can adapt and tips from the way recruiters read sales representative resumes.
Two or three sentences at the top of your resume: who you are, your strongest result and what you're looking for. Pick the one closest to your level and make it yours.

Mid-levelSales representative with 4 years of experience in medical device sales. Grew territory revenue by 32% and won 18 new hospital accounts.
SeniorEnterprise account executive with 10 years of experience closing six- and seven-figure deals. Consistently above 110% of quota and a regular President's Club winner.
Screening software compares your resume with the job ad, so use the same words the employer uses, but only for skills you really have. Put the most relevant ones first.
Show soft skills in your bullet points rather than listing them alone: "trained 6 new hires" proves leadership better than the word itself.
Start with a strong verb, say what you did and end with the result, ideally a number. Adapt these to your own work and never claim results you can't back up.
Put attainment in the first bullet of every role: percent of quota, the quota size and your rank. That is the first thing a sales leader looks for.
Average deal size, largest deal and sales cycle length tell a reader what kind of selling you do.
President's Club, top-rep rankings and promotions are strong proof. Give them their own line.
MEDDIC, SPIN, Challenger, Salesforce and Outreach are common keywords in sales job ads.

Focus on other facts that are true and strong: rank, growth over the year, new logos or the largest deals. Don't invent numbers, since sales leaders often check.
