This doesn’t mean that resumes aren’t important, as HR and vietnam telegram data hiring managers require resumes just to get you into their HR system. However, the real reason they ask for your resume is for organizational reasons so that they can put your name on the list of potential candidates in their CRM.
Therefore, if your resume is only there for organizational reasons, then hoping that it will help you get that dream technical sales job is simply foolish. More importantly, simply submitting your resume is a poor strategy because you haven’t done anything to impress or stand out to the decision-makers and the sales team hiring you.
The only way to succeed in technical sales, and anything in life for that matter, is to do more activities than everyone else. The more activities you perform, the better your chances of winning. Actions are the moves that make you stand out in the field. Activities are the name of the game when you are trying to get a technical sales job.
