Sales & Business Dev Resume — Classic Template

Sales resumes are judged almost entirely on quota attainment. Recruiters expect to see revenue numbers, deal sizes, win rates, and quota achievement percentages — everything else is supporting context. The Classic layout is the most universally accepted resume format — a clean single-column design that every ATS can parse without errors. Its experience-first structure puts your career history front and centre, which suits most professional roles.

Writing tips for sales & business dev resumes

  1. 1Lead with your number: "Closed $3.2M ARR in FY2025, 134% of quota."
  2. 2Show deal size range and average sales cycle length to help recruiters calibrate seniority.
  3. 3Name recognisable logos where possible — specific company names are more powerful than industry-generic language.
