"We find educators with leadership experience within the K-12 space to be successful in this position..." If you're looking for a department in edtech companies that really values teacher experience AND a department that many educators refuse to apply to, check out sales roles! ▶ 25% of the roles I post each week are sales roles. Many of them are looking for educators and administrators -- some job descriptions even consider our experience equivalent to 3-5 years edtech industry experience. ▶ I have about ~150 sales roles currently posted on the job board. 🍎 ~10-15% of them are looking for candidates coming directly from education. 💵 The median compensation of roles looking for educators? ~$90k! Even if you don't think you can sell products, there are roles in the sales department that are great fits for teachers. And, many educators thrive in sales because we prefer a consultative sales model. So check out the article and see if I can sell you on considering a sales career! https://lnkd.in/dFF5aUKp ––––––––––––– 🙋♀️ Hi! I'm Chelsea, Founder of Skip ▶️ I connect teachers, admin, and current edtech employees to education-adjacent companies -- but only when the jobs pay well! #edskip #edexit #transitioningteacher #edtechjobs #edtechjobs #hirehighered #higheredexit

I’ve always found it fascinating to hear how people end up in sales! From the outside, some think sales is a “last resort” career, but for many, it’s where they truly thrive because they genuinely enjoy: 1. Problem-solving 🧠 2. Building relationships 🤝 3. The earning potential 💲 4. Dealing with all the rejection 🙃 I got my Master's in finance and worked part-time in sales during school. After graduating, I took a leap into tech sales—and never looked back. While my parents are still confused about what I do, it’s taught me invaluable lessons, given me the opportunity to provide for my family, and introduced me to some of the smartest, hardest-working people along the way. How did you get into sales? #SalesJourney #TechSales #CareerPath

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡? When it comes to building a sales team, one is never enough. Hiring two sales reps is like adding a spark to a flame. It lights up your sales engine. You see, sales reps are naturally competitive. Put two in the same room, and they’ll push each other to outperform. It’s like a friendly race, but one that leads to more deals closed. But it’s not just about competition. Having two sales reps shows your buyers that you mean business. It signals that you have a scalable model, not just a one-man show. Your prospects will see that you’re ready to grow, that you’re in it for the long haul. And let’s be honest - sales is tough. It’s better to have two shoulders to carry the load. So, if you’re debating whether to hire one or two, go for two. It’s an investment that pays off in more ways than one. Do you agree?

In the last few weeks, I have spoken to a number of people who are trying/considering breaking into tech sales. My number one piece of advice to any one who is thinking about it...DO IT. I was originally attracted to tech sales after witnessing the tech boom of the mid 2010s, and though the modern tech landscape is a bit different, there are still so many benefits. 💰 Show me the money - Tech sales boasts some of the most lucrative roles especially early in your career. It's not uncommon for the top reps to be making over $100 K in their 20s and this figure can keep climbing. 📖 The office is a classroom - Working in sales, allows you to learn valuable skills that will stay with you for life. The actual role of sales you learn how to communicate, negotiate, work hard, and be disciplined. Depending on the product, you gain a deep understanding of the industry you work in and the roles you call into. 🕺 Work hard, play hard - Sales is definitely a grind, but it can be one of the most fun roles. By nature, people that are attracted to sales are typically high energy and extroverted, which means you will have a blast with your team. A lot of tech companies adopt hybrid working location models, rewards for sales performance, and flexibility when it comes to your daily schedule as long as you hit your metrics. It's not easy, but it's worth giving a shot. Even if sales is not your endgame, the experience you gain can transform your career. For anyone who is curious about how to break in, getting started, or just want to learn more about what it is like to work in tech sales, feel free to reach out to me. #BDR #techsales #coldcalling #startup

Is anyone looking to explore a career change or move into a different role in software sales? Do you want to work hard, be rewarded for your work, and work at a place where you’re supported and treated well? Talk to me! Two years ago I took a chance on a new endeavor. I piloted this entry-level sales position during a summer break and decided to leave the classroom. I had no direct sales experience, but I used skills that I built in the classroom to find success and gain control over my own outcomes. I have had tremenodus growth here and I regularly ask myself “is this company too good to be true?” I consider working here one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I’m willing to make a referral upon getting to know prospective candidates. Talk to me! #CivicPlus #worklifebalance #formerteacher #transitioningteacher #SAAS #govtech #leavingtheclassroom #careerchange #techsales #edtech #software #teachercareercoach #remote #SDR #BDR #sales

Tech sales isn’t an easy space to break into, but it can be a rewarding one. An entry sales role in tech can get you £35k as a base If you perform then you can add £10-15k to this in year 1. If you’re consistent and good then you can progress to your next role in 18 months. You’ll earn more in this next role. And if you’re good then you can earn a lot more. This isn’t for everyone though. And a reason for wanting to get into sales isn’t just because you like speaking with people. If you can show some self awareness and you’ve really thought about why you’d like to be told “no” all day for a living, then send a DM to see if we can help you get started. #salescareer #techsales #SDRroles
