Should I Have Hired Resume Writer Tailor My Resume?

Dear Experts, I currently have a full time job and am looking to transition into a new job in a sales role. I have experience in multiple disciplines and I'm a quick learner. Am I better off having a resume writer tailor my resume to one specific field of interest (and modify it myself), or should I have it written as a general resume and simply change the objective when I send it out?
