Sales CVs need a lot of thought as they are documents that sell a salesman. Convincing an employer that you are the right candidate for the job is similar to convincing a client to invest in the product you represent.

The pressure of knowing that there are probably hundreds of other applicants for the same position should not be a deterrent. If you are as good a salesman or saleslady as you claim to be, you should be able to show that by your sales CV. Your CV should convince the recruiter that should he not consider you, he would be on the loosing end.

Convincing anyone of anything means you must build a strong case and use the appropriate terms. Using sales related action words will create an impression of a focused individual in the minds of recruiters and employers who come across your CV. These words include Sales man, marketing skills, advertising, customer, client, persuading, sales techniques, methods, negotiate, discount, compensation. Use them relevantly and wisely.

Since sales is a wide area, it would be good to identify a certain area of sales e.g. director of sales, sales manager, sales representative etc.
