• Data-Driven and Organized: You know that sales isn’t just about gut instinct—it’s about tracking, analyzing, and optimizing. You love using data to refine your strategy, and if you’ve worked with HubSpot or another CRM, you know how to keep your pipeline clean and your insights sharp
  

• Higher Ed Knowledge (a Plus, Not a Must): Experience in the higher ed space is great, but it’s not a deal-breaker. What matters most is your ability to learn fast, adapt quickly, and understand what makes this industry tick
