· Drive high-value conversions through disciplined follow-ups and effective objection handling.

Student Counselling & Relationship Management

· Understand student background, preparation level, eligibility, and UPSC exam requirements before counselling.

· Provide need-based, honest guidance to aspirants and parents.

· Maintain timely and structured follow-ups with high-intent leads until closure.

· Build trust and credibility by addressing pricing, comparison, and outcome-related concerns professionally.

Process & CRM Management

· Maintain accurate and real-time updates on CRM tools (e.g., LeadSquared), including call logs and follow-ups.

· Follow defined sales and counselling workflows with strict CRM hygiene.

· Track personal performance metrics such as calls, conversions, revenue, and lead aging.

Feedback & Coordination

· Share regular feedback related to student expectations, pricing sensitivity, competitor offerings, and market trends in the UPSC segment.

· Highlight recurring objections and counselling challenges to reporting managers.

What We’re Looking For:

· 2–3 years of experience in EdTech or B2C sales, preferably in UPSC or long-duration academic programs.

· Proven experience in core calling and counselling roles with consistent closures.

· Strong understanding of the UPSC aspirant decision-making journey.

· Comfortable working with CRM systems, calling tools, and Excel / Google Sheets.

· Excellent communication, persuasion, and objection-handling skills.

· Ability to perform in a target-driven and accountability-focused environment.

Preferred Attributes:

· Prior experience counselling UPSC aspirants.

· Strong follow-up discipline and confidence in handling price and comparison objections.

· Mature counselling approach with a student-first mindset.

· High ownership and consistency in individual performance.
