"The bullet points above don't tell an employer what you really did or what the results were. Who did you call on? How many cold calls did you make each day? How much money did you bring in? These are all things an employer is going to want to know. What behaviors and duties did you do each day to contribute to the company success."

"You have a description of the company after your bullet points. Get rid of it. You're not selling the company, you are selling yourself. If it is relevant to the job you can incorporate facts about the company or what the company did in your bullet points. You also have important information buried in this paragraph. Doubling revenue is important and your new employer will want to know what you've achieved. Do you have proof that you doubled billing?"
