Are you an experienced Sales Manager who is looking for a new job leading a team in exceeding their sales goal or expanding market reach? Do you get frustrated over a lack of responses from your resume?
If the answer is yes to either question, welcome!
This guide will show you how to create a sales manager resume to detail your leadership abilities and passion for developing sales strategies, along with other vital skills and experience. We use real-world examples to show you some of the dos and don’ts of formatting your resume, as well as how to avoid some of the common pitfalls that sales managers face when building their resumes.
By the end of this guide, you will know how to:
If a sales manager does not quite fit your career goals, here are some resume guides for related roles:
Before we begin, let’s take a look at a real-world example of an experienced sales manager's resume to give you an idea of how your resume will look.
Right away, we get a clear sense of Andrew’s experience and talents. He correctly uses the Header section and adds two top skills that recruiters look for, and the summary has a mix of hard and soft skills.
Notice how he takes full advantage of the Achievement section. He lists his sales achievements as well as several key metrics in a neatly formatted side section. A nice way to show you can quantify your sales metrics in more than just your past work experience.
Here’s what this applicant does well in their resume:
Formatting is your first priority when building a professional resume. Hiring teams expect resumes to be formatted in a certain way, and those that aren’t may be disregarded.
The accepted format for all resumes is the same as most standard document settings, so there is nothing you need to change if working with a new document.
When choosing your fonts, you can stick with the classics, like Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier. Or you can use a newer font to give your resume a more modern look. The best way to guarantee your resume is properly formatted is to use one of Enhancv's resume templates .
Each template includes all of the sections you need for your resume as well as popular fonts, like Rubik, Lato, Montserrat, Raleway, Exo 2, and Volkhov. They also include several additional sections that you can use to list those relatable skills that aren’t mentioned in the job description.
Some additional information to keep in mind about formatting:
One more word about formatting before we get into the meat and potatoes of your resume. Do you choose a single or two-column format?
Our example from earlier uses a two-column format as it allows for more information on a single page. This format is ideal for anyone with more than five years of work experience. A single-column format is more suited for recent graduates and those with only a few years of work experience.
If you use a two-column format and want to separate them using a background color, you can use a dark contrasting color. Avoid bright or neon colors or using gradients. Change the font color to white so that it stands out against the background color.
Never use colored fonts excessively .
If you have a resume for a sales manager completed, run it through our resume checker to see how well it does and for suggestions on improving it.
Now let’s get into adding some details to your resume, starting with your past work experience.
The resume experience section is where you will include your past sales manager jobs and any other relatable work experience. Each entry will include:
As a manager, you most likely have 5, 10, or even 20 years of experience managing teams and generating new sales. It is your job to go through your past work experience and include only the jobs and skill sets that are required for the new position.
This means you don’t have to include any job where you did not develop sales initiatives, generate new customer leads, or analyze sales market trends. A targeted resume is the best way to increase your chances of getting an invitation to interview. We’ll talk more about how to do this a little later on.
When adding past work experience, keep in mind your two-page resume limit.
Let’s take a look at some real-world examples of sales manager work experience:
