How to format a sales manager resume
- Single column, standard headings so ATS parses it correctly.
- Put numbers up front — quota attainment, revenue, deal size.
- Reverse-chronological order with your most recent role first.
- Keep it clean — no columns or graphics. See our ATS guide.
Resume writing tips
- Lead with quota and revenue ("130% of quota," "+45% revenue").
- Show team impact if you manage — size, ramp time, retention.
- Name your tools (Salesforce, CRM) as ATS keywords. See resume tailoring.
- Quantify deal size and cycle to signal the market you sell into.
Common resume mistakes
- No numbers — sales resumes live and die on metrics.
- Listing duties instead of results.
- One generic resume for every role. Here's why callbacks stall.
- Over-designed templates that break ATS parsing.
