You will speak with interested parents over calls, WhatsApp, and online consultations; recommend the right program based on the student’s grade, subjects, and learning needs; answer questions; present pricing and class structure clearly; and take ownership of follow-ups until enrolment or closure. The trainee period is up to 2 months. Continuation after the first month will depend on performance. Strong performers may transition into a full-time Admissions Counsellor role with higher fixed compensation and incentives as they take on greater responsibility and demonstrate consistent results.

  • Follow up consistently with interested parents and support them through enrolment or closure.
  • Maintain accurate lead notes, follow-up updates, and outcomes in the CRM.
  • Coordinate with tutor operations when tutor matching, availability, demos, or tutor interactions are required.
  • Ensure assigned leads are handled on time and do not remain unattended.
  • Work towards consultation, enrolment, and conversion goals while maintaining a helpful parent experience.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong spoken Hindi and English.
  • Comfortable speaking professionally with parents over phone and video calls.
  • Good listening, communication, and need-discovery skills.
  • Ability to explain programs and pricing clearly and handle follow-ups and objections.
  • Ability to learn quickly and improve based on feedback.
  • Professional, reliable, organised, and responsive approach to work.
  • Personal laptop, stable internet connection, and a suitable environment for professional calls.
  • Full-time availability throughout the trainee period, without regular college, another job, or other commitments during working hours.
  • Freshers may apply.
  • Previous experience in sales, admissions counselling, customer support, telecalling, or EdTech is preferred but not mandatory.

What you’ll get

  • ₹6,000 monthly stipend plus performance-based incentives.
  • Structured 3-day assessment and training before joining the trainee program.
  • Hands-on experience in parent consultations, education sales, lead follow-ups, objection handling, and CRM discipline.
  • Regular feedback and practical coaching to improve consultation and conversion skills.
  • Continuation after the first month based on communication quality, consultation handling, follow-up discipline, CRM accuracy, reliability, responsiveness, improvement after feedback, and conversion performance.
  • Strong performers may transition into a full-time Admissions Counsellor role.
  • Opportunities for higher fixed compensation and incentives as responsibility and consistent performance increase.
  • Experience working with real parent enquiries in a fast-moving education technology company.

5-Minute Admissions Consultation Video Assignment

Assume you are speaking with the parent of a Class 10 CBSE student who has enquired about online Maths tuition. Lead context: - The student is average in Maths and struggles with some concepts. - The parent wants better board-exam preparation. - The parent is comparing several tuition options and has not decided yet. - Their main concerns are teaching quality, personal attention, improvement, and whether the program is worth the price. About the Tutormax 1:1 Maths Program: - Live online one-to-one Maths classes with a dedicated tutor. - Teaching based on the student’s current level and weak areas. - Concept clarity, regular practice, homework, and feedback. - Progress tracking and board-exam-focused preparation. - Flexible class frequency based on the student’s requirements. - A more personalised alternative to large group tuition batches. Treat the video as a real conversation with the parent, not a presentation or memorised advertisement. 0:00–1:00 — Understand the Parent Start naturally. Understand the student’s current performance, struggles, desired improvement, and whether the requirement is regular tuition, board preparation, weak-topic improvement, or something else. Do not immediately pitch Tutormax. 1:00–2:00 — Identify the Main Problem Briefly explain what the student needs, such as individual attention, concept clarity, regular practice, accountability, or a structured board-preparation plan. Show that you understood the parent’s concern before explaining the program. 2:00–4:00 — Explain the Tutormax Program Connect one-to-one attention, level-based teaching, weak-area improvement, practice, feedback, progress tracking, and structured board preparation to the student’s needs. Do not simply list features. 4:00–5:00 — Handle the Parent and Move to the Next Step Assume the parent says: “This sounds good, but I am still checking a few other tuition options.” Respond naturally without pressure, address the hesitation, reinforce fit, ask an appropriate follow-up question, and move towards a consultation, discussion, or session. We are not looking for a perfect script. Speak as if you are actually talking to a parent.

What we evaluate

  • Communication confidence
  • Ability to understand the parent’s requirement
  • Conversation structure
  • Explanation of value
  • Ability to handle hesitation
  • Ability to move the conversation towards a clear next step
