They both work and both are used. Representative has a lower connotation than Executive. Examples: Vice President versus Executive Vice President, or Chef versus Executive Chef. Depending on the type of sales you are doing, different titles can make a difference. Sometimes, people use "Account Coordinator" or "Account Executive" if they want to be lower key. Executive implies you can make a decision. Representative implies you need to ask for permission. My only proof is starting out as a rep, becoming a sales manager, then a territory/sales executive, then a Vice President of Sales.

Sales rep is a special product with me in a certain area continues to achieve the sales target, not only the selling would contribute to the development of the product or other large open markets in different regions The sales executive it be at the level of the company in all areas where the company sells its products
