Common sales manager resume mistakes

  • Listing 'exceeded quota' with no number, no quota, and no quarter count.
  • Forgetting team retention — it's a top-3 signal for sales-leader hires.
  • Burying the methodology when the JD names one.
  • Skipping forecast accuracy — RevOps leaders explicitly screen on it.

Frequently asked questions

Should I list every quarter's attainment?

Roll it up: 'avg 142% attainment over 6 quarters' beats a quarter-by-quarter table. Save granularity for the interview.

Player-coach or manager track — does it matter?

Yes. Player-coach roles want closing evidence; pure-manager roles want team metrics. Tune the bullets to match the JD.

How important is the segment (SMB / MM / Enterprise)?

Critical — recruiters filter on it. Always name your segment and ACV band.
