A self-review written from memory reads like everyone else’s. This page gives you the four questions most forms ask, one filled-in Inside Sales example, and a checklist that works with no app.

Your company might call it a self-evaluation or a self-assessment. The method is the same.
From memory
I worked hard this quarter, made a lot of calls and built strong relationships with my accounts.
From numbers
I made 2,670 calls in my first 90 days and had 743 conversations with buyers. After I rewrote my voicemail script, my connect rate went from 26% in July to 30% in August.
26% = 179 conversations ÷ 698 calls. 30% = 263 ÷ 887.
Example. Sample numbers.
Your manager usually has to make your case to someone else, in a room you’re not in. The second version gives them a line to use.
The example is an Inside Sales Representative at a distributor, 90 days into the job. These are the totals from those 90 days.
No log yet? You can still do this tonight. Get the same totals from the reports you can already see, and write them down by hand.

Forms word these differently, but most ask some version of all four. Every gold number comes from the list above.
In my first 90 days I made 2,670 calls and had 743 conversations with buyers. I sent 307 quotes worth $151,970, won 48 orders and booked $51,434. 16% of my quotes became orders.
16% = 48 orders ÷ 307 quotes
Lead with totals. Put the activity first, then what it turned into. If you have a target, put it right after the number.
A long-standing account was ready to switch vendors over late deliveries. I set up a call with their buyer and our shipping lead and offered a weekly stock check. They stayed with us and placed their Q4 order early. My manager called it out in a team meeting.
Logged as a win on Aug 16. My manager’s comment logged Aug 20.
The log had the customer’s name. The review doesn’t need it.
Pick one win and tell it in three beats: what was at stake, what you did, how it ended. Swap names for roles.
I averaged 1.7 follow-ups per quote. Our quotes usually close on the second or third touch, so some of mine went quiet too early. I now block time for follow-ups twice a week.
1.7 = 535 follow-ups ÷ 307 quotes
Pick a real miss and use a number to show you understand it. Then say what you changed.
Next quarter I want to send 3 follow-ups on every open quote and start tracking new accounts opened. I’d also like a day a month shadowing Outside Sales, because that’s the job I want next.
These are goals, so there’s nothing to source yet.
Ask for something specific. A goal with a number is easier to say yes to than “more responsibility.”
Example. Sample numbers.
Keep your own record to your work and your numbers.
In healthcare, finance or government, check your rules before you log anything, and never log anything that could identify a patient or client. Your employment agreement and handbook have the final word.
Works with a pen, a notes app or anything else.
Write your numbers down as they happen, on your personal phone, never a work phone. A work phone goes back when you leave. A note works fine.
Unhumble does the adding up. Pick your role, get the metrics that matter in your job and tap +1 as you go. At review time, Record has your totals, and Write bullets turns your wins into lines you can paste. It only uses numbers you logged, and each one shows where it came from.
No account and no employer name. Nothing goes to the AI until you say yes.
Logging stays free. A pass opens every total, more bullets and your Review Report.
