Sales Representative CV Example (Arabic + English) with ATS Tips 2026 | MyCV

This is a Sales Representative CV example written for the Saudi job market. Sales is one of the easiest jobs to measure, yet most CVs arrive with general phrases like 'increased sales' and 'customer service' without a single number. This example shows how to state quota attainment, portfolio size, new accounts opened, and collection rate. Adjust the numbers to your real record, and name your sector precisely, because a food rep is judged differently from a pharmaceutical or building-materials rep.

What recruiters look for

  • Quota attainment as a percentage for each year, since it is the one measure a sales manager trusts before the interview.
  • Portfolio size and type: number of customers, annual sales value, and whether it is modern trade, traditional trade, or projects.
  • A valid driving licence and mobility, because the role is field-based and candidates who omit it get filtered out.
  • Receivables collection experience, since a sale that is not collected does not count and many companies tie commission to collection.
  • Fluency in sales-force automation and CRM, because disciplined daily entry is now a requirement rather than an advantage.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Writing 'increased sales' or 'met company goals' with no percentage or amount, the most repeated and least convincing line in sales CVs.
  • Omitting the driving licence and mobility, so the recruiter assumes you have neither and drops the application.
  • Naming customers without your scope or the size of the business, so nobody can tell whether you served the account or opened it.
  • Mixing several sectors into one summary, which buries the specialist experience the employer is actually hiring for.
  • Leaving out the sales systems you have used, when companies ask about them on the first call.

How to write your summary

Write your summary in three or four lines in this order: title, years of experience, sector, territory and portfolio size, then quota attainment. Example: 'Sales Representative with 6 years in FMCG covering Riyadh with a 90-customer portfolio, hit target four years running at an average of 112%.' The number in the first line is what makes a sales manager keep reading, and state both 'Sales Representative' and the Arabic title so the ATS matches them.
