  • As the initial point of contact with prospects, represent the future of education by empowering districts to boost student attendance rates.
  • Gather market insights and feedback to influence and drive future product enhancements.
  • Review calls with the SDR team, share best practices, and iterate on outreach strategies, including crafting customized talk tracks.

About You:

  • 3+ years in K-12 education (as a teacher, administrator, managing school attendance, SIS, and compliance, or similar roles) OR 1+ year of inside sales experience (K-12 EdTech inside sales experience highly preferred), with a proven track record of engaging prospects to secure qualified meetings.
  • Firsthand experience navigating student data and attendance challenges, enabling you to guide high-level, credible conversations with school leaders highly preferred.
  • Ability to be a strategic thought partner to AEs, continuously researching and staying up-to-date on your region as a territory expert, tracking account activity, and managing thousands of school accounts across designated states.
  • Intellectually curious and eager to master EveryDay Labs' product, understanding how applied behavioral science drives family engagement.
  • Actively seek feedback and love refining your approach to get better every single day.
  • Utilize data insights and maintain meticulous CRM data hygiene to track cadences, prioritize active leads, and ensure efficient pipeline management.
  • Demonstrate a high intrinsic drive, excellent time management and organization, and a proactive approach to managing your daily responsibilities.
  • Leverage Salesforce.com experience and sales process training to tactfully manage a pipeline, meet and exceed team goals, and maintain meticulous CRM data hygiene.
  • Familiar with sales platforms such as Salesloft , Outreach.io , or Yesware .
  • A strong communicator who can empathize with the unique challenges of our K-12 buyers, translating those insights into compelling value propositions.
  • Able to establish clear value propositions that connect buyer/user needs to the product and services we offer.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment and use your creativity when partnering with team members to ensure flawless execution.
  • Experiencing using AI tools to drive greater efficiency and productivity.
