525 Technologies is seeking a high-energy, self-motivated Business Development Representative (BDR) to support growth within schools, school districts, colleges, and universities . This role focuses on outbound prospecting, lead qualification, and setting discovery meetings for IT services and project-based solutions.

This is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial role. Success requires initiative, persistence, and the ability to navigate structured, committee-based buying processes common in educational institutions.

What You’ll Do

  • Identify and qualify opportunities for IT services and technology projects
  • Navigate gatekeepers and identify appropriate decision-makers
  • Schedule discovery meetings for leadership and senior technical staff
  • Research accounts, funding cycles, and institutional priorities
  • Track outreach, activity, and results in CRM
  • Experiment with messaging and outreach approaches to improve engagement
  • Meet weekly activity and qualified meeting targets

Who You Are

  • High-energy, motivated, and driven by results
  • Thrive in an “Independent, outcome-focused role.”
  • Persistent, professional, and comfortable with long follow-up cycles
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Confident communicating with administrators, faculty, and staff
  • Able to balance urgency with the formality required in education settings

Required Qualifications

  • 0–3 years of sales, business development, or customer-facing experience
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable making outbound calls
  • Able to manage multiple accounts and long timelines
  • Interest in technology and IT services

Preferred Experience (Strongly Preferred)

  • Experience selling to K–12, higher education, or public-sector organizations, including EdTech or education-focused solutions
  • Experience selling IT services or technology solutions, with the ability to quickly learn technical concepts
  • Proven ability to navigate committee-based, procurement-driven, and multi-stakeholder buying processes

Why This Role

  • High autonomy and ownership
  • Direct exposure to leadership and real education-sector deals
  • Clear growth path into closing or account management roles
  • Opportunity to build long-term relationships with schools and colleges

Important Note

Direct experience selling to school systems is helpful but not required. Strong candidates may come from other industries and demonstrate the curiosity, adaptability, and ability to learn IT services quickly.
