Notice that the results are speci?c, concrete, and measurable. And notice that, they all, at the bottom line, lead to some sort of direct bene?t or monetary pro?t to the company. There are ?ve ways to quantify your accomplishments:

1. By numbers of people, places, things, units, or actions, such as “handled 200 telephone calls per day.”

2. By amounts of money saved or earned, such as “$300,000 savings” or “$100,000 in pro?ts.”

3. In percentages (or fractions), such as “70 percent decrease in waste”, or “33 percent increase in production.”

4. By time saved, which usually means money saved.

5. By a subjective or objective scale or rank, such as “4.8 on a scale of 1 to 5 for increased customer satisfaction” or “moving from number 360 to number 121 on the Fortune 500 list.”
