• A proven track record of converting warm leads or inquiries into sales.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Understanding how schools operate is beneficial but not required.
• Motivation, organisation, and the ability to follow a process are all important.
• Being effective within a small and dedicated team, where individual contribution and assistance to others is critical to our success
• Good IT skills with MS Office; if you have CRM experience, that’s even better!
