Sales resume bullet makeovers
Before: Sold software to businesses. After: Closed £1.4M in new ARR across 22 mid-market accounts, finishing at 131% of annual quota. Before: Made a lot of calls and booked meetings. After: Booked 38 qualified meetings per month via multi-channel outbound, sourcing £2.2M in pipeline.
How should I show quota attainment?
State percentage of quota, the period and ranking where possible, for example '131% of FY quota, #2 of 18 reps'.
Should I mention my CRM?
Yes. Salesforce, HubSpot and Outreach are common filter terms. List them in skills and reference them in a bullet.
What if I missed quota one year?
Lead with your strongest periods and context such as territory changes. Use deal size, win rate or pipeline metrics for the weaker year.
