Sales Skills to Put on Your Resume
Although there are many types of sales jobs, certain sales skills are universal. These five sales job skills for your resume will be attractive to hiring managers, no matter the industry or company.
Tip
Use the job ad to find out which skills to list on your resume. Employers always list the skills and abilities they want in the job description.
Self-Motivation
Reaching goals as a salesperson is critical because it means you’re driving the number of transactions employers expect of you. This is why managers seek out self-motivated sales employees.
Your sales skills list should emphasize that you work well under pressure and are motivated to achieve goals. If you shy away from competition or tend to crack under pressure to achieve, sales may not be your calling.
In addition to including “self-motivation,” “goal-oriented,” and similar phrases on your sales skills list, show you’re goal-oriented by highlighting your accomplishments and achievements.
Include concrete numbers, such as the:
targets you’ve met
goals you’ve achieved
awards you’ve won.
