Jan 2022 - Present
Joined in as inside sales executive but was put into the founding counselling team within just a few weeks due to the domain knowledge I possessed along with great interpersonal and communication skills.Currently work as a TOFU (top of the funnel) Counsellor wherein I am involved in: -Holding presentations, seminars and spot evaluation sessions in which I understand the aspirations, interests and background of students and counsel them towards the perfect pathway towards their higher education abroad.-Every counselling session directed towards helping the candidates make an educated choice & the right decision. Giving clear And accurate information based on the current immigration & visa laws & policies in a very neutral way as per preference & depending upon candidates profile.Having been a part of this founding team I have also gotten hands into understanding the flaws in the industry & competitors, rectifying shortcomings in leads, using different methods, trying out different approaches etc. has been a daily aspect of work. Developing, implementing and managing a overall strategy to maximize international student attending sessions and ultimately converting inquiries to enrolments being the goal.
