		<description>Dear Mara-

At the tender age of 46, I do not have a basketful of measurable successes to list for employers, in order to &quot;sell&quot; myself on my resume to them.  Most resume-writing tips suggest listing achievements such as the examples below.  What tips can you give a girl to sell herself when her list fits in a coin purse instead of a bank vault?
?Developed, implemented, and managed a winning sales strategy to penetrate a $50M sales opportunity in Russia, increased sales from $600K to $3.5M in under 2.5 years.

?Negotiated deals, with key accounts selling to foreign governments, resulting in closing major supply contracts; $1.5M in Libya, $3M in Algeria, and $1M in Iraq.

?Developed strategies for USA based dealers and targeted multi-national companies resulting in average sales growth of 10% year over year for products exported into over 40 overseas markets during 36 months period.

?Created channel sales opportunities both domestically and internationally, to increase market shares.</description>
