Don't get discouraged by initial rejections. The SaaS industry is constantly evolving, and companies are often open to diverse perspectives and experiences. Keep networking, showcasing your passion, and highlighting your relevant skills – the right opportunity will come along.

Consider taking online courses or certifications related to SaaS sales or the specific industry you're targeting. This not only demonstrates your commitment but also gives you a chance to learn the lingo and nuances of the SaaS world.

Highlighting your transferable skills, such as understanding complex products, consultative selling, and pipeline management, could help bridge the gap between EdTech and SaaS.

One tip: reach out to SaaS professionals on LinkedIn and ask for informational interviews. Not only will you gain valuable insights, but you'll also be able to showcase your interest and passion for the industry, which can go a long way in the hiring process.

Connect with me in DM. I understand why they don't take you seriously. Being a BDE in ed tech you used to deal with students or parents at most. So they consider you as a kid when compared to B2B sales of SaaS which is much more sophisticated when compared to a comparatively low ticket ed tech B2C product. So connect with me. I may have a solution. But remember solution will not be for free. 😀
