Why this sales representative resume works

The summary

Account executive with six years selling software as a service to mid-market companies. Closed $2.4M in new annual revenue in 2025 at 128% of quota, with a full-cycle process from prospecting to negotiation in Salesforce.

The two numbers a sales manager looks for — revenue closed and percent of quota — are in the second sentence, with the segment and motion before them.

Questions

Should I include quota attainment if I missed quota one year?

Lead with your strongest periods and be ready to explain the weaker one. Showing several years of attainment builds more trust than one exceptional year with the rest left out.
