Sample Sales Representative Resume

In order to create a sample of sales representative resume, understanding the qualifications and skills necessary for the position are critical. Before applying for any sales rep position, you should determine if you'd like a position that's commission only versus base and commission. Commission only positions may provide better compensation for excellent performance, but can be detrimental when sales are slow.

Are you tired of cold calling?

If you're pursuing another sales position because of management "scare tactics" or an inability to use old, worn-out sales methods (like cold calling) to get results, I strongly encourage you to read Frank Rumbauskas' book, Cold Calling is a Waste of Time. You can sign up to receive a free preview of the book below. And I promise to use your information ONLY to send you information about the Cold Calling is a Waste of Time book.
