Build a Job-Winning Sales Resume
Sales resumes must make outcomes obvious: quota attainment, ARR closed, and win rate. Prove pipeline health with activity and coverage metrics.
Replace generic bullets with quantified wins and process: “Hit 132% quota; shortened cycle by 14 days by tightening MEDDICC; maintained 3.5x pipeline coverage.”
ResumeReady helps you present outcomes clearly and pass ATS filters.
