Can I change my previous job titles to fit future job applications?

A suggested title change example would be from Customer Service to Sales & Service Account Executive. I just want to make sure this doesn’t hurt me when employers do reference and background checks.

Sales & Account Executive would be just fine for a title change.

If you detail the two positions sufficiently there should be no problem. But customer service goes along with sales and sales requires customer service

Yes you can change your job title for future applications. Depending on what you do on a job can create different titles I've done it.

Don't alter your job title instead use your cover letter to elaborate other skills and experience outside of the title.

I would hire you immediately. Sales are a major part of this type of position. It shows you have researched applying. Check multiple sources with any career-related question especially published authors. Some of the responses listed for your question are.negligent. I bet a couple of the people that responded to your question have never worked a customer service position? They may be trying to limit your success and career goals. Go for it!
