What makes these work

  1. Target met, in percent

    '118% of annual target' is the first thing a sales manager looks for. Put it ahead of the skills.

  2. Product and territory

    FMCG in Maharashtra and SaaS inside sales are different jobs. Saying which one you have run saves the recruiter a call.

  3. Deal size shows level

    A deal value or a count of new outlets shows the scale you operate at.
