Sales. Relationships. Life-Changing Careers.
This is not an administrative admissions position.
This is a professional consultative sales role.
At Aveda Institute Winnipeg, you'll help prospective students make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. You'll build relationships, uncover what's holding them back, overcome objections, and confidently guide students toward a career in the beauty and wellness industry.
If you enjoy building trust, working toward goals, and helping people make meaningful career decisions, you'll thrive here.
If you're looking for an administrative role with minimal sales responsibility, this position isn't the right fit.
What You'll Do
- Respond promptly to inquiries from prospective students
- Build relationships through phone, text, email, and in-person conversations
- Conduct engaging campus tours and information appointments
- Ask thoughtful questions to understand each student's goals, motivations, and concerns
- Guide prospective students and their families through the admissions and enrolment process
- Consistently follow up until every lead reaches a clear outcome
- Confidently overcome objections and help students move forward with confidence
- Maintain accurate records and activity within our CRM
- Participate in open houses, recruitment events, career fairs, and community outreach
- Collaborate with marketing and leadership to achieve enrolment goals
- Deliver an exceptional experience for every prospective student
How Success Is Measured
This is a performance-driven position.
You'll be responsible for converting:
- Leads into conversations
- Conversations into campus tours
- Campus tours into enrolled students
Success requires persistence, strong communication, excellent follow-up, relationship building, and the confidence to ask people to move forward.
