Why this works
Sales employers want proof that you hit targets and help others to hit theirs.
Lead with revenue and quota
Put your biggest number in your summary or in the first bullet of your latest role. State the figure, the period and, for context, the size of the team or territory.
Show how you manage
Quota attainment for your team, hiring, coaching and process changes show leadership. A bullet such as "7 of 8 reps met quota" says more than "motivated the team".
Keep numbers honest
Round sensibly, use the same currency throughout and be ready to explain every figure at interview. Do not include confidential customer names unless you have permission.
Tailor the tools
Mention the CRM and sales methods in the job advert only if you have used them.
