What Makes a Strong Account Manager Bullet?
Quantified impact

Strong action verb
Opens with a past-tense verb (Led, Delivered, Reduced) — not "Responsible for."

How ATS Screens Account Manager Resumes
Account manager ATS filters prioritise revenue metrics (ARR, NRR, quota %) and CRM tool names. Salesforce appears in over 70% of AM job descriptions. "Upselling", "cross-selling", and "client retention" are near-universal keywords. QBR (Quarterly Business Review) is a high-signal differentiator for enterprise AM roles.
