Hybrid (Both) Customer Success and Educational Sales
 Why You’re a Great FitYou’re the best of both worlds. You’ve got the adaptability, people skills, and drive that make you a natural fit for Customer Success and Sales. That means you’re not limited to just one career path — you have the flexibility to land opportunities in either role and thrive.Just like me (👋🏽), your ability to balance relationship-building with results means you’re someone companies will always need. When I pivoted out of education, being open to both sides gave me way more options — and that’s exactly what’s possible for you too.Why You Should Explore Both Roles (Note, you will start with one career path but you can essentially go back and forth)Having the ability to go back and forth between both paths makes you irreplaceable. EdTech companies are always hiring for Customer Success and Sales — and if you can do both, you will always be employable and in demand.Customer Success: If you love helping people win, guiding them step by step, and becoming the trusted advisor who ensures schools succeed, Customer Success is where you’ll shine.Sales: If you love inspiring others to say “yes” to solutions, building relationships with decision-makers, and being rewarded for hitting big goals, Sales is where you can step into six-figure earnings fast.The Benefit of Being a Hybrid Baddie Here’s the truth: being versatile is a superpower. Companies are looking for people who can drive adoption and influence decisions. By leaning into both roles, you’ll have: More job options (you’ll qualify for twice the interviews) Long-term career security (CS + Sales are always in demand)Faster earning potential (Sales commissions + CS retention bonuses = more money on the table)That’s exactly how I built my own six-figure career (and business) — I didn’t box myself into one lane. And now, you’ve got the chance to do the same. Plus if you are interested in starting a business, having both of these skills will help you THRIVE!
