LINQ’s Values:
About the Team:
LINQ’s Revenue department is the driving force behind our mission to empower k12 education and innovative solutions. As storytellers and problem-solvers, we go beyond just selling a product – we build lasting partnerships with educator and administrators, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
About the Role
At LINQ, we modernize K-12 operations so educators can focus on what matters most—students. As an Inside Sales Representative, you'll be the trusted advisor to school districts with 4,000 students or fewer, helping them maximize their investment in LINQ's ERP, Nutrition, and Payment solutions. This is a high-activity, relationship-driven role where you'll identify opportunities within our existing customer base to expand their use of LINQ products and deliver even greater value to their districts. There is opportunity to dive into prospect accounts and find net new business as well.
Primary Objectives
- Drive revenue growth through upsell and cross-sell opportunities within assigned customer accounts, as well as prospect into net new accounts
- Build trusted relationships with district administrators, business managers, and nutrition directors
- Develop product expertise across LINQ's full suite of K-12 solutions
What You’ll Be Doing
· Manage a portfolio of small to mid-sized school district accounts (4,000 students and below) using Salesforce CRM
· Proactively engage with existing customers to understand their evolving needs, challenges, and goals
· Identify expansion opportunities by conducting needs assessments and demonstrating how additional LINQ solutions solve operational pain points
· Conduct discovery calls with districts to understand their unique requirements
· Build relationships with key decision-makers including superintendents, CFOs, business managers, HR leaders, and nutrition directors
· Collaborate with implementation and customer success teams to ensure smooth onboarding and adoption
· Maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and meet or exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets
· Stay current on K-12 trends, school funding cycles, and regulatory requirements that impact districts
· As you develop expertise, begin prospecting net-new accounts to expand LINQ's footprint
What You'll Bring
· 1-2 years of sales experience (B2B, SaaS, education technology, or related fields) is a plus
· Natural relationship-builder with strong communication and active listening skills
· Consultative mindset—you ask great questions and genuinely care about solving customer problems
· Comfortable with technology and able to quickly learn complex software solutions
· Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, quota-driven environment
· Organized, detail-oriented, and skilled at managing multiple opportunities simultaneously
· Coachable and eager to learn—sales experience is a plus, but attitude and drive matter most
· Passion for education and making a positive impact on schools and students
What Will Make you Stand Out:
· Familiarity with K-12 education, public sector, or government sales
· Experience with Salesforce or other CRM platforms
· Understanding of ERP, nutrition management, or payment systems
