List inactive licenses on resume?

I am in the process of updating my resume for OCI and I have a question. Most of my work experience has been in the financial services arena. Because of my work I had to obtain a few licenses:
SERIES 7 – General Securities Representative License
SERIES 63 – Uniform Securities Agent State Law License
SERIES 65 – Uniform Investment Adviser Law License
They all are currently inactive, but I would like to list them on my resume just to highlight this area of expertise. I would like to do corporate work. I was planning on listing them on my resume followed by "inactive."
Is this a good idea or should I just leave them off all together?

I listed series 7 and 63 for a number of years after they expired. Finally dropped them when I realized my resume was impressive enough without them
You could list them as an achievement under a job, e.g.:
Financial Representative
- Obtained NASD Series 7, 63, 65
- Served 25 clients, with $5,000,000 AUM
- Generated $100,000 in revenue within 6 months

Thanks for the input. My job wasn't 100% sales, so I will have to frame it a different way. I also wonder if these licenses mean anything to people outside of the industry and are worth listing at all.
