You dont need a resume full of sales experience. You need drive, a thick skin, and a genuine hunger to win. SchooLinks is one of Texass fastest-growing SaaS companies, and were looking for our next Business Development Representative, someone who wants to earn their way into a high-growth sales career starting now.
This isnt just a job. Its a structured launchpad. Youll get weekly sales training from day one, a clear path to Account Executive roles, and a team that genuinely invests in your growth.
Who We Are
SchooLinks is the #1 college and career readiness platform in the country, partnering with school districts to help students figure out who they are and where theyre going. Our mission matters and selling it is easier when you believe in it.
What Youll Do
Your job is to open doors. Youll be the first voice prospects hear from SchooLinks, and your goal is to spark conversations that turn into opportunities.
- Own your territory: cold call and email school district prospects daily
- Research accounts, personalize outreach, and qualify inbound and outbound leads
- Schedule demos and hand warm opportunities off to Account Executives
- Maintain clean records in Salesforce so nothing falls through the cracks
- Hit (and beat) weekly and monthly activity targets
- Collaborate with marketing on campaigns that generate pipeline
- Stay sharp on product updates, pricing, and market trends
Your Growth Path
We promote from within. Our top BDRs move into Account Executive roles with higher base pay and uncapped commission. The only thing that limits how fast you move is your performance.
Where Youll Work
Youll be in our Austin office three days a week. For a role built on coaching, competition, and quick feedback loops, being in the room matters. Youll ramp faster sitting next to your manager and teammates than you ever would on a call and the energy of a sales floor is something you have to experience to understand.
RequirementsWe care far more about how youre wired than whats on your resume.
- You genuinely want to start a career in software sales not just any job
- Rejection doesnt rattle you; it motivates you to sharpen your approach
- You thrive in fast-moving, competitive environments where the scoreboard is visible
- Youre clear, confident, and compelling when you communicate in writing and on the phone
- You hold yourself accountable and dont wait to be told what to do next
- You lift the people around you, not just yourself
Prior sales experience is a plus, not a requirement. If youre a recent grad, career changer, or someone whos been waiting for the right door to knock on this is it.
BenefitsCompensation is $45,000 base salary + variable comp with on-target earnings of $66,600. Your commission structure rewards consistent activity and qualified pipeline not just closed deals.

- 401(k) with company matching

One More Thing: Show Us What Youve Got
We know a resume doesnt tell the whole story especially for this role. So instead of letting a piece of paper make the call, we want to hear from you directly.
Once you've submitted your application you'll receive an email to submit a video. Your phone camera is fine were not looking for production quality. Just tell us:
- Why you want to break into sales
- What makes you someone who wont quit when it gets hard
- Why SchooLinks specifically
This is your chance to stand out beyond your resume. Strong communicators with limited experience are exactly who were looking for and this is how you show us thats you.
SchooLinks is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, diverse workplace.
