I have good accounts I have closed in the last 2 years, but none of them are close to the size of deals I would be working on at this company.
Basically, I have always been SMB to Enterprise, but this is Enterprise at F100/huge government scale, which I don't have, so the recruiter said list your biggest deals, which were 10 year ago, that's my dilemna.  |
I don't really think that matters unless the industries were similar. For example, I used to sell capital equipment, it just plain costs more than what I sell now, so it's not necessarily unusual to see an overall deal being "smaller" $ value.
If the industries were similar, then don't focus on the dollar amount, focus on the overall % of growth in the territory. This keeps it vague, yet accurate, and shows that you have a successful track record (assuming you do). Good luck!
