Results with no quota context
"Generated $500K in revenue" means little alone. Against what quota, in what territory, over what period? Screeners and sales managers both search for attainment percentages.

ATS resume for sales representatives
Sales postings search on motion and metrics: the kind of sale (inside, outside, B2B, territory), the CRM you live in, and above all your numbers against quota. We rebuild your resume so your results are quantified, comparable, and written in the posting's own terms.
Keywords
What sales representative postings search for
Screening software ranks your resume on the terms in the posting. These are the ones that recur for this role — we mirror the ones you genuinely have, spelled the posting's way.
- Business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C) sales
- Quota attainment, stated as a percentage
- Prospecting and pipeline generation
- Territory management
- Customer relationship management (CRM) — Salesforce, HubSpot, or your platform
- Discovery calls and product demonstrations
- Negotiation and closing
- Account management and renewals
- Sales cycle and average deal size
- Forecasting and pipeline reporting
Common mistakes
Where sales representative resumes lose the ranking
A generic "sales" resume for different motions
Inside sales, field sales, and account management postings use different words. One file for all three ranks weakly for each.
CRM and tools left off
Many postings name the CRM as a requirement. If you sell in Salesforce or HubSpot, it belongs in Skills and in the roles where you used it.
Rankings and awards described vaguely
"Top performer" is a claim; "Ranked 2 of 14 reps, President's Club 2025" is evidence. Where an honor is real, we state it exactly.

- Sales-motion keywords matched to the posting — inside, outside, B2B, channel, or account-based
