and next steps current in HubSpot.
• Share market feedback, pricing objections, competitor developments, and feature gaps. What we’re looking for
• An active network of decision-makers at independent, private, and faith-based K-12 schools in Canada.
• Demonstrated ability to convert relationships into meetings and referrals.
• Credibility within the independent school community.
• Comfort with a 6 to 12 month sales cycle tied to the enrollment calendar.
• Willingness to travel and disciplined follow-up. Helpful experience

• Experience working inside an independent school as a business manager, registrar, admissions director, or administrator.

• Hundreds of existing clients, including references willing to speak with prospects.
• Case studies, pricing support, and demo support.
• An onboarding and implementation team.
• Conference budget and association membership costs covered.
• Direct access to the CEO. Success is measured through meaningful relationships, qualified introductions and discovery meetings, an active presence in association communities, client references, and, over time, signed schools and processing volume. Specific targets will be agreed together in your first few weeks and revisited at 90 days.
