Include more numbers. How many cars did you sell, what was your quota, how many leads on weekly average, etc.

That was going to be my recommendation as well- you set goals and KPIs- what were they? Did you reach them? At what percentage? Demonstrate your value

Dig deep through your network and try to find someone who would refer you. From my experiences, you can guarantee yourself at least a first round with even a simple referral not even a full endorsement

This is minor thing but I would suggest you update the bullet points under your most recent job so that they begin with an action verb like you did on the older jobs. (I.e: “Developed, Monitored, Prospected,” etc.) Keep it consistent.

Most importantly, just start networking. LinkedIn is good for this but just get yourself out there and start talking to people. I work for a licensed school that teaches sales development skills and puts you in front of our hiring partners. There is a tuition but we see people landing roles within 3-6 weeks into the program even.

STAND OUT! That's the important thing.

Not literally, but literally if I was at your auto group and my resume simply said,
Blah blah blah
100% to goal Q1
115% to goal Q2
97% to goal Q3
110% to goal Q4

I would get the job before you simply bc I am speaking their language. Of course you have inventory, children keep inventory of their crayons. What’s your impact on company success?
Talk about impact and it’s only a matter of time before a manager gives you a shot

You need to add numbers relevant to the position. For an SDR job you’re going to be pounding the phones and emails. Add metrics around x amount of phone calls that lead to x meeting and from that meeting leading to a x amount of sales.

Need to add your percentage to quota.

Quantify as much as you can and add action verbs.

like

Definitely good advice here! Showing that you understand the metrics is more effective than you would think as well

I’d remove the education part entirely.

Hi, the skills section doesn’t really add value. Anyone can say they have skills.

Include more accomplishments. More important than responsibilities.

BYU is a good school and if you did a mission, you should do well in sales! Good luck!

I would also say that the reader is searching for all of these things they are looking for. The format might be something to fix. I would say to make it look something like this.
I would remove the higher education portion because you have not graduated. So put the education in the bottom. Hope this helps.

You need to make sure when writing your resume you can beat the computer and appeal to the person. Most companies use a computer algorithm to suggest candidates so few pass the computer. Then you need to appeal to the reader with key words and places you worked in the 1st 5-10 seconds

A lot of comments giving good tips, but if you pay for a person to write your resume focusing on the job you want, it will help. Should be less than $500

Personally, I would remove Domino's. You weren't a CSR, you were a retail cashier.
