How to write a Sales Representative CV
Sales CVs are read for one thing first: numbers. Hiring managers want to see quota attainment, deal sizes, sales cycles and the customers you sell to, followed by the methods and tools behind your results.
Writing tips
- State quota attainment with percentages and rankings, for example “118% of quota, #2 of 14 reps”.
- Describe your market: B2B or B2C, customer size, average deal value and sales cycle length.
- Mention your prospecting methods and CRM, such as Salesforce or HubSpot.
- Show progression — a promotion from SDR to account executive tells a strong story.
Frequently asked questions
What if I didn’t hit quota every year?
Show the years and metrics that are strong, add context for difficult periods such as a new territory, and highlight other wins like new logos or retention.
Should a sales CV include soft skills?
Yes, but prove them with results. “Built relationships” means little; “grew three accounts by 40% through quarterly business reviews” shows it.
