 Executive Sales Resume Writing
It’s hard to give advice to Executive level sales professionals. These are individuals that know their profession and are incredible at what they do. And generally, in our experience writing resumes, these people know what they have achieved and its easy to make the resume look good.
The one mistake we see is that sometimes high level sales professionals will take too much space describing their basic duties. It’s necessary to outline the scope of your job, the area covered, the people supervised and the financial responsibilities. However, the key to a new job is highlighting the sales success by clearly explaining the dollar amounts and percentage increases. Basically, you need statements that show how you landed a Fortune 500 account, that resulted in $20 million in annual revenues and 15% increase in total sales volume. That is an example of success that will impress any potential employer.
