Sales account executive CV and resume example

Sales managers want proof that you hit a number. Quota attainment, deal size, sales cycle and your rank on the team tell them more than any adjective, so they look for those first. They also check that your segment, product and sales motion match theirs, whether that is fast SMB deals or six-month enterprise cycles.

How to write a sales account executive CV

  1. Show quota attainment as a percentage for every year you can, for example '127% of a $1.2M quota', and add your team rank when it is strong.
  2. State your segment, average deal size and sales cycle so a hiring manager can see how your experience maps to their market.
  3. Separate new logos from expansion revenue, since hunters and account managers are often hired for different roles.
  4. Include awards such as President's Club, plus the CRM and sales methodology you use, like Salesforce and MEDDICC.
