One story · every job

You've lived more than one page can hold.

Every other tool asks you to upload a resume and shuffles the words around. Throughline starts with a conversation about what you've actually done, survived and learned — then builds a different application for every job from that one story.

It starts with a question nobody has asked you.

Not "paste your job title". One real question at a time, answered in your own words — by voice or typing. Every answer is turned into structured evidence the moment you finish it.

Question seven of twenty-four
What's the hardest thing you've ever pulled off at work — and what did it cost you?
Running the floor of my family's restaurant at twenty-one, after my father got ill. Twelve staff, six days a week, suppliers who didn't take me seriously, and no idea what I was doing. It cost me my degree and about two years of sleep.

Bracketed blanks are numbers only you can confirm. We never invent one — a fake metric is a failed interview.
The evidence—
Pick an episode to see what was said, what was pulled from it, and which lines it supports.

Then a job posting gets taken apart.

Software scores your application before a person sees it. Most rejections are a vocabulary gap, not a skills gap — you wrote "looked after clients", it was scanning for "client retention". Pick a job and watch it happen.

Summary

Commercial generalist with eight years of winning and keeping clients across hospitality, retail and consumer brands. Full-cycle experience from first outreach to renewal, built running a business rather than working inside one. Moving into B2B software sales — no SaaS quota history yet, and not pretending otherwise.

Experience
Ran full-cycle B2B sales for an independent practice — lead generation through negotiation and close — managing a live pipeline in CRM across five sectors.
Used consultative selling to diagnose the commercial problem before proposing scope, driving revenue growth and client retention past first delivery, with [add # on retainer] on retainer.
Built and launched a food product from a home kitchen to 8,000 units sold, owning recipe, packaging, pricing and every early sale.
Led front-of-house operations for a 12-person team at 21 — rotas, supplier relationships, cost control and daily service.
Cover letter
For: Business Development Manager, B2B SaaS

I've spent eight years selling things that were hard to sell — a food product with no brand, consulting to owners who'd been burned before, a restaurant's tables on a wet Tuesday. What connects them is the same thing your posting is asking for: finding the person with the problem, and being useful before being paid.

I should be straight with you about one thing. I haven't carried a SaaS quota. What I have carried is a number I set myself, with no salary behind it, across [add # of clients] clients — where losing one meant losing the month. The mechanics are the same; the product is new to me and I'd rather say that now than in the second interview.

What I'd bring in the first ninety days: a rebuilt outbound list for your mid-market segment, a diagnosis-first discovery script, and honest reporting on what isn't working. If that's useful, I'd like to talk.

The honest read
What a tough recruiter would say, before you send it
ATS 80/100 Human fit 61/100

The verdict: a genuinely strong commercial operator applying without the one credential the posting names twice. Worth an interview at a company that hires for instinct. An automatic no at a company that filters on SaaS years.

Requirement by requirement
ProvenLead generation and revenue ownership — carried a self-set number with no salary behind it.
ProvenClient retention — repeat and retained engagements across five sectors.
BuriedPipeline and CRM discipline — real, but never named that way until now.
MissingSaaS sales experience. Named twice in the posting. This is the rejection risk.
MissingForecasting against a quota. No evidence in the vault to support it.
Fix before you send
Fill the two bracketed numbers — retainer count and client count. Empty brackets read as carelessness.
Name the CRM you actually used. "CRM" alone invites a question you'll answer badly.
Decide your answer to "why software, why now" before you apply, not on the call.
Interview prep
The questions this exact resume will provoke
"You've never sold software. Why should we take the risk?"
Don't argue the gap away. Name it, then move to the transferable core: you've sold to owners who spend their own money, which is a harder audience than a budget holder. Offer a concrete first-90-days plan — that turns the question from risk into evidence.
"Tell me about a time you led under pressure."
Use the 2014 restaurant episode from your vault — twelve staff at twenty-one, suppliers who didn't take you seriously. End on the cost, not the win. The honesty is what makes it land.
"Your background is all over the place. What are you actually?"
This is your throughline question. "I find the person with the problem and I stay until it's fixed." Then give three examples in thirty seconds — the product, the practice, the restaurant.
"How do you forecast?"
You can't fake this one. Say what you did instead — tracked conversations, close dates and probability by hand — and ask how they forecast. Curiosity beats a bluff every time.

You apply. The story stays.

The next job takes four minutes, not four hours, because the hard part is already done. And when you're hired, the vault doesn't go quiet — it's where your next promotion case, review write-up and bio come from.

Every line traceable

Click any bullet and see the episode it came from. You can defend the whole page in the room, because you lived all of it.

No invented numbers

Where a metric would help but isn't yours, you get a blank to fill — never a made-up figure that collapses under one follow-up question.

Correct for where you apply

Dubai expects a photo, nationality and visa status. The US must have none of them. Same vault, formatted right for the country.

People job hunt in bursts. So it's priced in bursts.
