Writing a resume for a sales position is sometimes the easiest one to make because number of sales made, number of accounts serviced, size of client base, territory size or number of contracts managed are all quantifiable. Unfortunately, applying for a sales position is not just about the numbers you generated in your previous position or employment.
Many sales people fail to realize and analyze the type of image that is being created by their resumes. This results in many sales people not getting enough number of job interviews and receiving job offers with very low compensation packages. What you need to realize is that there is a certain image that the company is looking for and you have to project yourself as the one that fits that image.
