You'll call Transportation Directors across the United States to book demos for ISRs & RSMs. While still a small and nimble team, BusRight has expanded into 25 states, raised $15M, and is scaling its sales team to build relationships with potential partners across the country.

At BusRight, we're dedicated to increasing the safety and efficiency of our nation’s largest mass transit system - school buses. More than 26M students ride 500,000 buses to and from school daily. The logistics of this enormous & impactful operation are currently managed on pen & paper or legacy software. BusRight is on a mission to increase school bus safety and efficiency by providing families, schools, and communities with advanced routing technology, dynamic driver navigation, live GPS tracking, and real-time parent communication.

Why this role is unique

  • Join early: As an early team member at a rapidly growing transportation technology company, you’ll be granted equity, a base salary, and commissions for each deal that closes that you booked.
  • Influence sales strategy: You’ll work side-by-side with your fellow sales Pod, tackling various sales efforts, defining scalable systems, finding new ways to grow the company, and representing BusRight at conferences across the country.
  • Versatility: You will wear many hats, such as sales operations, business development representative, lead generation, attending conferences, and more.
  • Connect with the BusRight community: Our advisors, investors, and team members are eager to support your growth. Our investors include the Founder of Kayak, Quizlet, and Wayfair, early investors in Uber, SpaceX, and other iconic transportation companies.

What you will do

You'll focus on calling Transportation Directors at School Districts in the U.S. to book product demos. You will work alongside our sales team during a pivotal time for our go-to-market strategy, where you'll create, influence, and execute new ideas to fuel revenue growth.

  • Outreach: Each day, you'll make 60-80 calls to our nation's hidden community heroes, Transportation Directors, to book ~15 demos weekly.
  • Operations: Ensure Salesloft & Orum (prospecting platform) is constantly updated with new leads (we will provide lists for you), run an outreach cadence (e.g., calls, emails, etc.) to prospects through Salesloft & Orum, create proposals, and reschedule demos that have yet to occur. Identify best practices to refine the company’s lead generation playbook.

What you will bring to the team

  • 2+ years of outbound technology sales experience.
  • Ability to strategically manage large prospect lists and consistently call on 60-80 prospects daily.
  • Understand that converting a cold call to a demo is more about listening and identifying a prospect's pain points, rather than selling features.
  • You get energized when a prospect agrees to a demo, and you ensure a proper handoff between yourself and the seller.
  • You thrive with extreme autonomy in a remote environment.
  • You embody our values.

We're growing and looking to hire people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We want to hear from you if you're interested in our mission, even if you're not a perfect match for this role.
