Questions about this data

What skills do most Sales job postings ask for?

Across 1,861 Sales postings from the last 90 days, the most frequently named are AI (26%), Salesforce (21%), MEDDIC (12%). Each percentage is the share of those postings naming the term at least once.

How common is G-suite in Sales postings?

G-suite appears in 4% of the 1,861 Sales postings counted — 81 of them exactly. That places it mid-pack rather than near-universal, which is worth knowing before you rewrite a résumé around it.

Where does this Sales data come from?

Public job postings published by employers on their own career sites, collected through the official Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job-board APIs. It is a count of 1,861 real postings seen in the last 90 days — not a survey, an estimate, or a model's guess.

Should I add these skills to my résumé?

Only the ones you genuinely have. Frequency tells you which terms to surface and phrase in the employer's own words if they are already true of you. Adding a skill you can't defend is the fastest way to fail an interview, so FreshStartr reports gaps rather than writing them in.

Which of these does your résumé actually evidence?

Paste a Sales posting and you get a line-by-line match report: what you already prove, and what you don’t. Gaps are reported, never written in for you.
