The Ideal Resume Template for Sales Professionals

A good resume template for sales professionals needs lots of room for describing sales achievements and business growth contributions, and the resume template in the Driving Growth Collection meets those needs. While primarily designed as a resume template for sales professionals, the Driving Growth collection is also a great choice for marketing professionals and for other professionals who work in professions focused on business growth.

The graphic in the header of the resume template conveys the concept of business and sales growth. The accomplishments bar just under the professional summary section of the resume is another unique feature that allows space to showcase your three most impressive sales achievements.

Prompts throughout the “dummy text” of this resume template for sales professionals provide tips and hints on what to include in each section of the resume. Follow the prompts to tell your career story in a way that draws extra attention to your sales achievements.

At the bottom of the first page is a space to include a testimonial from a former boss or peer. If you don’t have ready reference letters to draw from, review past performance evaluations and find an excerpt that will help support and reinforce your value proposition and branding statement that you included at the top of the resume.

The colorful graphic on the second page provides another eye-catching spot to showcase your three most impressive sales achievements in that position. Do keep in mind that most applicant tracking systems will ignore any text in this graphic. In other words, if there are important keywords or accomplishments in the graphic that you want to be picked up by the ATS, make sure to repeat them in the body of the resume too.

Available separately, the Coordinating Driving Growth biography, references, and cover letter templates are available to purchase separately. See the full collection:

Microsoft Word is REQUIRED. Due to the digital nature of this template, all sales are final. For more information on licensing rights, please review our licensing terms.

To learn more, I encourage you to read the many articles about resume design and applicant tracking systems on our blog.

Yes. All templates are built in Microsoft Word (.docx) and require the desktop version of Word for full functionality.

While other tools like Canva, Google Docs, or Apple Pages may seem convenient, they often break formatting, introduce ATS compatibility issues, and don’t display resumes correctly across devices and systems.

If you don’t have Word installed, it’s available for as little as $9/month, and is well worth the investment—it’s still the industry standard for resume writing and submission.

Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.

While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.

When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!

I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.

I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
