FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I include quota attainment if I missed it?

Yes, but with context. List the % attainment and briefly note the circumstances: new product, ICP shift, territory change. Hiring managers respect honesty far more than numbers that look suspiciously rounded.

What if I'm transitioning from SDR to AE for the first time?

Lead with any closing experience you have, even small deals or renewals. Show that you've owned negotiations, handled objections, and pushed deals to signature, not just booked demos.

How many quantified bullets should each role have?

Aim for at least 4-5 metrics-driven bullets per company. Sales leaders scan for quota, ACV, win rate, and cycle length, so a resume without those numbers rarely makes it past the first pass.

Does industry experience matter on the resume?

A lot. If you've sold into FinTech, HealthTech, or MarTech, name it explicitly. Many roles screen for domain expertise, and it often beats generic sales experience in the shortlist.

Should I have separate resumes for SMB and Enterprise roles?

If you're applying to both, yes. The metrics, deal cycle, and language are very different between segments, and a one-size-fits-all resume tends to underperform in both.
