Sales is the most honest role on a CV: you either hit quota or you didn't. Any sales CV without percentages and revenue figures reads as concealment. Lead with quota attainment in the first line of your summary.

Tips specific to this role
Open with quota attainment
"128% of quota" in the first line keeps a hiring manager reading. A sales CV with no number gets discarded fast.
Give portfolio size and growth
"From 28 to 45 accounts" shows growth you generated yourself, rather than a book handed to you.
CRM is a near-universal requirement
Salesforce, HubSpot or Zoho — name the system, because most sales postings filter on it.
