Self-evaluation example for sales

Account executive, annual review.

Written from these notes

Account Executive, annual. 112% of quota ($1.34M). Closed region's largest deal (Northwind, $280K), 6-month cycle, 3 security reviews. Built referral program with marketing, 9 closed deals, we met every 2 weeks. Challenge: pipeline dried up in Q3, relied on a few big deals; now prospect 2 hrs every morning. Want to grow: forecasting, enterprise negotiation (course + shadow senior AEs). Goals: 120% of quota, 3x pipeline coverage, mentor new AE.

Key accomplishments:

  • Finished the year at 112% of quota, closing $1.34M in new business.
  • Closed the largest deal in our region, Northwind ($280K), after a six-month sales cycle with three security reviews.
  • Built a referral program with marketing that has produced nine closed deals.

Strengths:

  • Persistence on complex deals: I kept every Northwind stakeholder engaged through three security reviews until signature.
  • Collaboration: The referral program worked because marketing and I reviewed leads together every two weeks.

Challenges and lessons learned:
My pipeline dried up in Q3 because I relied on a few large deals. I learned that I need to keep prospecting even when big deals are close, and I now block two hours every morning for outreach.

Areas for growth:
I want to improve my forecasting accuracy and my negotiation with enterprise buyers. A negotiation course and joining senior account executives on enterprise calls would help.

Goals for next year:

  1. Reach 120% of quota.
  2. Keep pipeline coverage at three times my quarterly target.
  3. Mentor our new account executive through their first two quarters.

  • What is a self-evaluation?

    A self-evaluation (or self-assessment) is the part of a performance review where you describe your own accomplishments, strengths, challenges and goals before your manager writes their review. It is your chance to make sure your best work is on the record.

  • What should I write in my self-evaluation?

    Your key accomplishments and their impact, two or three strengths with examples, one honest challenge and what you learned, the skills you want to develop, and goals for the next period. The template on this page shows each section.

  • How do I talk about weaknesses in a self-evaluation?

    Pick one real area to improve, say what happened and what you changed or learned, and name the support that would help. Owning a setback and showing growth reads as confidence, not weakness.

  • Can it answer the questions on my company’s review form?

    Yes. Paste the questions into "Questions on your review form" and you get an answer to each one, in order, ready to copy into the form.

  • How long should a self-evaluation be?

    Usually one page or less, or a few sentences per question on a form. Choose Short, Medium or Long, and edit it down to what your form allows.

  • Will it make up accomplishments?

    No. It only uses what you tell it and never adds results, numbers or praise you didn’t give. If you leave out goals, it suggests some that follow from your work, which you can change.

  • Is the self-evaluation generator free?

    You can write a self-evaluation on this page without an account, once a day. A free account includes one more in the app, and paid plans let you write as many as your plan’s word allowance covers.

  • I’m a manager. Which tool should I use?

    Use the Performance Review Generator to write reviews of your team members.
