If you are using PC for sales experience ( I was a regional sales manager for an insurance company before becoming a stay at home mom) you need to deomstrate your sales experience in terms of solid numbers:

Recruited and trained X number of independent sales consultants
Maintained a $X monthly sales average


companies wants to see what you can bring to them in terms of $$
