Imagine someone gave you these three things: the opportunity to change the future of education, the autonomy to grow your own business, and all the necessary tools to be successful. If a job that combines all three of those things interests you, you may be a fit for our Sales Representative role here at Top Hat!
As a Sales Representative, you will be assigned an exclusive territory of colleges and universities where you’ll have the autonomy to reach out and develop your own relationships with professors, demonstrate the value of our platform and products, and convert them into clients. You will be adding value by working with professors to change how they teach and helping to bring the educational experience into the future. To do this, you will show how our products help both students and professors engage in the classroom experience, and how they enable better learning outcomes. In essence, you will be making education better for students: one professor, one classroom, and one school at a time.
This is a remote role and you will be responsible for travelling to campuses within your territory to prospect professors. Due to the travel requirements, we are only considering local candidates located in the Salt Lake City area.

Who you are:
You are highly motivated, achievement-oriented and excited to join a team that is driving change in higher education!
You have 2+ years of experience in a high-volume sales role. Experience selling to professors in person on campus is highly preferred
This role requires 40-50% of your time travelling to campuses for in-person sales. A valid Driver’s License is required
You have the sales skills, including the ability to drive & close large/complex deals, prospect effectively, and run the full sales cycle (including cold calling, demos, discovery, solution presentation, negotiation and closing)
