Sample experience bullets
Keep your own bullets specific, measurable, and role-relevant.

Common mistakes
- Omitting quota numbers and attainment percentages — this is the #1 metric hiring managers look for.
- Writing "managed client relationships" without specifying deal sizes, retention, or expansion.
- Not mentioning CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot) — these are critical ATS and screening signals.
- Focusing only on closing without showing prospecting, pipeline building, or sales process discipline.
