About this role
Job Description Job DescriptionSales Advisor - Community Outreach, Caribbean & African Communities
North York, Toronto, ON - On-site Full-time, permanent $40,000 - $50,000 base plus commission
ABOUT EDUGLOBAL
EduGlobal is a Canadian education and funding consultancy in the Greater Toronto Area. We help people already living in Canada - citizens, permanent residents and protected persons - get into education they thought they could not afford.
We find them the right program, guide them through provincial student aid so the funding is in place, and walk them through admission at one of our partner career colleges. We also work with short courses, certificate programs and language training. Most of our clients are mature students: career changers, parents returning to work, people retraining into healthcare, business and skilled trades.
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
Caribbean and African communities across the GTA make up one of the largest groups of people eligible for the funding we help people access - and one of the least reached. The barrier is not language. It is that nobody has built the relationships, shown up in the right places, or earned the trust.
That is what this role is. We are hiring someone with real standing in these communities to open them up properly.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - READ THIS FIRST
This role is built around networks. We are hiring on the strength of the relationships you have already built and your ability to build more.
? Established referral networks within Caribbean or African communities in the GTA - community organisations, places of worship, employers, associations, business owners, group chats, local media ? A track record of generating business through community relationships rather than cold lists ? Comfort representing a company at community events and in community spaces ? The credibility to have a serious money conversation with someone who has been let down before
Tell us about the networks you have and what you have generated through them. That is the part we will focus on.
LANGUAGES - an asset, not a requirement
If you speak any of the following alongside English, say so - several of our client communities need them and we will weight it heavily:
French • Haitian Creole • Swahili • Amharic • Tigrinya • Twi • Yoruba • Portuguese
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Sell ? Work qualified leads from our marketing, and build your own pipeline through your networks and referrals ? Run consultations by phone, video and in person - qualify, understand the situation, recommend the right program ? Explain funding clearly and honestly so clients know exactly what they are signing up for ? Close. Convert conversations into enrolled students ? Hit monthly targets and grow your numbers
Own your files through to completion ? File student aid applications with clients during live screen-share sessions ? Collect and chase the documents each file needs ? Coordinate with our admissions team and partner colleges to confirm enrolment ? Track your files through approval and disbursement ? Keep your records accurate and report daily on your numbers
There is no separate officer picking up your files behind you. Your work on a file is finished when the client is enrolled and their funding is approved.
Build reach ? Become the name people in these communities associate with education and funding ? Grow referral relationships month over month ? Represent us at community events ? Tell us
