• Explain German language training levels (A1–B2), fee structure, and installment/financing options clearly and accurately
• Address family objections and concerns - a critical part of the enrollment decision for most candidates
• Track candidate academic progress through the language training journey (A1 to B2) and flag at-risk candidates early
• Coordinate with the Pune training centre and telecalling team (Riya) to ensure smooth handoffs from lead to enrolled student
• Maintain accurate candidate records in the CRM (Privyr/Runo)
• Support seminar/webinar events for candidate acquisition when needed

• Empathetic communicator, comfortable handling family-level conversations and objection handling
• Organized, detail-oriented, comfortable with CRM tools and follow-up discipline
