Sales Setter (Education & Admissions)
About the Role
We are looking for a highly driven, relationship-focused, and fast-paced Sales Setter to become the first point of contact for families interested in our programs. This is not a cold-calling role. You will work exclusively with warm inbound leads, families who have already shown interest in our services and are actively exploring support for the college admissions journey. Your role is to build trust quickly, qualify prospective families, understand their needs, provide high-level admissions guidance, and successfully transition qualified opportunities to our Advisors (Closers). This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-energy environments, enjoys human connection, moves quickly, and understands how to balance empathy with urgency. High-performing Setters at egelloC are also the first in line for long-term growth opportunities into Advisor and leadership-level sales roles. What You’ll Own Rapid Lead Response Contact inbound leads quickly through calls, texts, emails, and Zoom meetings to qualify interest, urgency, and fit for our programs. Discovery & Qualification Conduct meaningful discovery conversations with families while identifying student goals, academic background, and admissions concerns. Calendar & Pipeline Management Coordinate and manage Advisor calendars while maintaining strong organization and high meeting show-up rates. CRM Follow-Up Consistently follow up with leads inside Close.io through structured communication workflows to ensure no opportunity goes cold. Relationship Building Become a trusted first impression for families by combining professionalism, empathy, confidence, and strong communication skills. Set-to-Sale Performance Focus on booking high-quality appointments that ultimately convert into enrolled students and successful long-term client relationships. Who Thrives Here High-Energy Communicators You naturally build rapport, communicate with confidence, and bring positive energy into every interaction. Resilient & Persistent Professionals You understand that successful follow-up is part of the process and are comfortable handling objections, hesitation, and ongoing communication. Consultative Sales Mindset You focus on understanding family needs rather than pressuring people into decisions. Organized Operators You can confidently manage multiple conversations, calendars, follow-ups, and CRM workflows simultaneously. Tech-Comfortable Professionals You move comfortably between Zoom, Slack, Close.io, Calendly, Google Workspace, Loom, and modern AI-powered tools. Education & Admissions Interest While prior admissions experience is not required, having familiarity with the U.S. college admissions landscape, student concerns, and family dynamics is a strong advantage.
