Cobalt template

Tom Ashby, Sales Associate

Tom Ashby is a sales associate with five years selling software and telecoms to small businesses, applying for a senior associate role at a larger vendor. The resume is written for a sales manager who wants target attainment and retention figures before anything else.

Why this resume works

  • The objective sits in a band across the top of the main column and leads with the 150 percent of target and the retention gain, so the two numbers a sales manager screens for are read first.
  • Each role is three bullets with a percentage in every one, and nothing else, which is how a sales resume is scanned.
  • An Accomplishments section separates the two career-level results from the role bullets, so the revenue figure and the acquisition programme are not lost among quarterly numbers.
  • The five skills carry segmented ratings in the sidebar, so the strongest ones (negotiation, CRM, lead generation) stand out from the rest.
