Sales and business development resume FAQ
How do I show sales results on a resume?
Use quota attainment, revenue closed, deal size and win rate, each for a stated period. Percentages against target read quickly.
Should a sales resume be one page?
One page is usually enough. Put the strongest numbers in the first two bullets of each job.
