- Join a fast-growing startup, backed by top VCs, on the ground floor
What you’ll do:
- Research and identify new business opportunities based on key customer profiles in school districts and other relevant organizations
- Apply sales development best practices with email, phone, and social outreach to connect with new prospects
- Utilize discovery and objection handling strategies to speak knowledgeably with decision-makers and to build interest in our offerings
- Engage with prospects to articulate Parallel’s value proposition
- Record contacts and outreach using our CSM (HubSpot/Salesforce)
- Demonstrate ability to consistently achieve and exceed program targets
What you need:
This position is perfect for someone with 1-2 years of experience in business development or 4-5 years of experience in the classroom. In addition, you’ll need:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
- Prior experience in business development, sales, or account management
- Strong and empathetic verbal communication
- High level of comfort making cold calls
- Ability to think on your feet and problem solve
- Attention to detail and excellent written communication skills
- Hunger to learn, grow, and succeed within a fast-paced startup environment
