Independent Education and EdTech Sales Representative

You’ve built trusted relationships in education. Put that experience to work helping schools find solutions that meet their needs.

Advancing Global EDU is seeking an independent sales representative based in the Houston, Austin, or Dallas area who understands education, knows how schools and districts make purchasing decisions, and can turn meaningful conversations into business opportunities.

We help education and technology companies enter new markets, validate their offerings, build district relationships, and move pilot programs toward purchasing decisions. We’re looking for a consultant who brings credibility, initiative, and consistent follow-through to that work.

The opportunity

You will represent selected education and EdTech clients, connect with school and district leaders, identify needs, and develop qualified opportunities. Your work will span initial outreach, discovery conversations, demonstrations, pilot discussions, and support through the purchasing process.

This opportunity is well suited to an established independent education sales consultant, former EdTech sales professional, or former education leader with business development experience.

What you’ll do

• Build and expand relationships with school and district decision-makers across an agreed Texas territory.
• Identify prospects whose needs align with our clients’ solutions.
• Secure qualified meetings and coordinate relevant product demonstrations.
• Conduct discovery conversations that clarify priorities, decision-makers, funding considerations, and purchasing timelines.
• Help move opportunities into pilots, proposals, and signed agreements.
• Follow up consistently with prospects, including leads generated through webinars, conferences, and marketing campaigns.
• Maintain accurate contact records, next steps, and opportunity updates in HubSpot.
• Collaborate with Advancing Global EDU and client teams on messaging, territory priorities, and agreed performance goals.
• Attend local meetings and education events as appropriate to the engagement.

What you bring

• Experience selling education services, instructional solutions, or education technology.
• Established relationships at the school and school district level, preferably in the Houston, Austin, or Dallas region.
• An understanding of K–12 purchasing processes and the patience and persistence to navigate education sales cycles.
• A record of generating qualified opportunities and advancing them toward a decision.
• Strong listening, presentation, organization, and follow-up skills.
• The ability to manage your own consulting work while delivering on agreed commitments.

Experience working with superintendents, technology leaders, curriculum teams, principals, or student services leaders is especially valuable.

Compensation and consulting arrangement

This is an independent contractor opportunity, with compensation through sales commissions and paid client engagements . Depending on the assignment, paid work may include defined business development activities, qualified meetings, or project deliverables.

Commission rates, engagement fees, payment milestones, scope, and performance expectations will be agreed in writing before work begins. This role does not provide a salaried employee compensation package.

Why work with Advancing Global EDU?

• Bring your local relationships and education expertise to a team that understands the market. You’ll have opportunities to represent selected education solutions, contribute to client strategy, and help companies build lasting relationships with schools.
