Responsibities:

• Act as the first point of contact for prospective trainees, providing a welcoming and professional experience
• Build strong, trusted relationships through email, telephone, video calls, face‑to‑face meetings, and social media

• Use Salesforce CRM to manage enquiries, track engagement, and monitor progress
• Achieve enrolment targets through quality conversations and effective follow‑up
• Coordinate with finance teams to support initial payments and onboarding

• Have experience in customer liaison, admissions, recruitment, education, training, hospitality, or consultative sales
