You'll work alongside a high-energy Field Sales team, run your own territory, and develop the skills that fuel a long-term career in sales.
In this role you will:
  • Build and execute targeted outbound campaigns via email and phone, qualifying prospects and scheduling meetings that fuel the Field Sales pipeline.
  • Manage the full lead qualification and handoff process, while independently closing smaller opportunities and advancing your consultative selling skills.
  • Run engaging virtual meetings and outcome-focused product demonstrations, converting trial users into fully implemented Edmentum solutions.
  • Own your geographic territory, consistently hitting KPIs and refining your approach based on market insights, product knowledge, and competitive awareness.
  • Partner across Sales, Marketing, and other teams to support campaigns, events, and strategic initiatives that drive Edmentum's growth in the K-12 market.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline records in Salesforce and contribute to data quality and reporting that powers smarter decisions for the team.

Who You Are
  • You have a results-driven mindset with a strong sense of urgency and accountability, and you consistently follow through on commitments.
  • You have experience or strong foundational skills in consultative, solution-based selling, with the ability to translate customer needs into compelling outcomes.
  • You are familiar with Salesforce or a comparable CRM and are comfortable using virtual communication tools such as Zoom to connect and present effectively.
  • You have excellent verbal and written communication skills, including a professional phone presence and the ability to craft clear, engaging emails and presentations.
  • You are a fast learner who can absorb complex product and program details quickly and articulate instructional or technical concepts with clarity.
  • You are a self-starter who manages multiple priorities well, stays organized in a fast-paced environment, and brings strong time management skills to your daily work.
  • You are collaborative by nature, with a track record of building productive cross-functional relationships and contributing to shared team goals.
  • You are coachable and growth-oriented, open to feedback, and motivated to continuously sharpen your craft.
  • You have a high school diploma or equivalent; a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in sales, business, or a related field is preferred.
  • You have 1-3 years of experience in sales development, inside sales, or a customer-facing role; experience in edtech or the K-12 space is a plus.
  • You are willing to travel within your assigned territory as business needs require.
  • You are willing to take on evolving responsibilities based on business needs.
