Default Listing "Accomplishments" Advice

Hi everyone!

Every tip I've read about resume writing suggests you should have a list of accomplishments stating concrete numbers. For example "Increased productivity 30% in first quarter"

My question is this: What if you do not have a solid number to back up your accomplishments? I have accomplished a lot of things during my career, however I was never given specific numbers.

I have increased office productivity, but don't know by how much.....I do know I have done very ligitimate things that have increased that productivity though.

I have just created a much needed web prescence for the company I am currently with, which has resulted in more inquiries and increased the potential for more clients, but again no specific numbers.

I'd hate to leave my accomplishments out, because they are real, but am lacking the "ever so important" number factor.

Any advice anyone could give would be great :-)

Thanks!
