Sales Resumes

You've worked hard -- and smart. And it's paid off. You're consistently one of the top sales performers in your branch, and maybe even in the entire company. Maybe you're #1, or maybe you've taken your territory from #32 to #15. Maybe you've even started a brand new territory and built it to a $3 million a year sales volume.

Yet, chances are, none of this is reflected on your current resume.

One of my clients (a top sales performer) came to me because he had sent out dozens of resumes and couldn't understand why he had gotten very little response from prospective employers, and none from any employment agencies. He had this job description on his self-written resume: "Responsible for sales, customer service and territory management." He didn't bother to list any achievements because he didn't want to be perceived as bragging. He also thought he could cover his accomplishments when he got to the interview...except he didn't get that opportunity because the recruiters didn't see anything on his resume that told them he was a mover and a shaker.

During our consultation, I asked him some very pointed questions, which revealed the following:

• He had established and built a new territory from $0 to $5 million in annual sales within 3 years of joining the company.
• He currently ranked #1 in sales volume in the entire company, outperforming 347 other sales professionals across the country.
• He had played a key role in taking his branch from #12 to #2 nationally, outperforming branches in much larger cities.

Now imagine the impact of this new information on recruiters and potential employers. If you think he immediately became a hot commodity, you're right. In fact, he had 2 interviews lined up within hours of receiving his new High Impact Resume, and 3 more within the next 48 hours. Two of these were with recruiters who had previously not even responded to his application. Can you imagine how thrilled he was? And how much better he felt about himself?

Unfortunately, we see this type of thing all the time. The fact is that many self-written and low-cost "professional" resumes cannot possibly compete in today's competitive job market because they are missing the most important content.

The good news is that if your resume is not getting you the interviews you deserve, you can probably do better. All you need is a high impact resume.

At High Impact Resumes, we've helped nearly a thousand sales professionals to move forward with their careers. We have a reputation for creating powerful resumes that position our clients for success. In fact, we've had thousands of referrals from clients and recruiters over the last 18 years, due to the exceptional nature of our product.

What makes us different?

• We are knowledgeable professionals who know what it takes to create a high impact sales resume. In fact, our head resume writer, Julie Marseu (B.Sc.), is an experienced recruiter and a former employment agency owner, who has interviewed over 10,000 people and authored more than 8,000 resumes, as well as numerous marketing pieces. She has also worked as a Major Account Executive with an industry leader, and knows what to focus on to impress sales recruiters and prospective employers!

• We invest the time needed to produce a truly outstanding product. Unlike many of our competitors, who rely on their clients to fill out a questionnaire, we brainstorm with our clients for an average of 2 hours each to uncover their most impressive sales achievements! Then we put many more hours into writing and crafting each resume, until it passes both your approval and our high quality standards! Why do we spent so much time developing content? Because a resume that's missing or underselling important accomplishments cannot possibly compete successfully in today's highly competitive job market.

If your resume is not giving you the results you'd like, maybe it's time to take action. Why not start the ball rolling today?
