The Sales resume template

Sales hiring managers want one thing first: your numbers. This template gives them a Key Wins block of KPI cards directly under your summary, before a single job title, on a dark header with a small growth arrow.

Lead with attainment

Fill Key Wins (the Achievements section) with two to four numbers that would survive a reference check:

142% of annual quota          2025, ranked 1 of 28 AEs
$3.4M new ARR                 41 mid-market logos
President's Club ×2           2024, 2025

Use the headline as the number and the description for context. A recruiter should be able to read only the cards and know whether to call you.

Every role needs four facts

Segment, deal size, cycle length, and quota against attainment. "Mid-market SaaS, $40-80K ACV, 60-day cycle, 118% of a $900K quota" reads like someone who knows their book.

Then bullets about how you got there: pipeline you built yourself, a territory you turned around, a process you introduced.

SDRs and new sellers

Meetings booked, conversion to opportunity, pipeline sourced in dollars, and promotion speed. "Promoted to AE in 11 months" is a strong line on its own.

Skills

Keep them specific: Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Gong, MEDDICC, Challenger. "Strong communicator" belongs in your interview, not your skills list.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Your numbers. Quota attainment, revenue closed and rankings belong above your work history, which is why this template places Key Wins directly under the summary.

Use percentages of quota, rank among peers, growth over the previous holder of the territory, or deal counts. Relative numbers are rarely confidential.
