Why SalesResume exists

It's time for a new resume.

The problem

Static resumes provide limited evidence of actual sales ability. Generic AI writing makes candidates sound increasingly similar, while repetitive introductory screens still leave important questions unanswered.

What we’re building

We are building a living career profile combining experience, results, work samples, practice, and screening responses.

The mission

Our mission is to replace the static resume and repetitive first-round screening with a living record of sales ability—helping people and companies understand fit before the first conversation.

Why sales

Sales fit depends on sales motion, customer segment, deal complexity, prospecting, discovery, and team expectations—not one generic score.

The opportunity

Sales organizations face roughly 35% annual turnover, creating significant costs when a role is not the right fit. Better information can support better matching and more informed hiring. Reducing avoidable turnover is a long-term goal, not a proven outcome.

SalesResume founder

Meet the founder

I've spent over a decade building BDR and outbound sales teams from the ground up across multiple companies — including one team I built that helped lead to the company's acquisition. My biggest asset has always been recruiting: finding the people who actually perform once they're on the team, not just the ones who interview well.

I'm also finishing a PhD studying what actually motivates people to perform — which is part of why this platform is built to give real, direct feedback instead of empty encouragement.

Where this can lead

The product can progress from candidate tools, to living evidence, to recruiter screening, and eventually to better-informed matching. That is the product thesis—not a promised hiring outcome.
