Sales Advisor, Education (Admissions)

NIWE Academy | Calgary, AB (CORE Shopping Centre, Downtown) | Full-Time | Base + Uncapped Commission

Most college admissions advisors aim for 4 to 8 enrollments a month. Ours hit 40.

That's not a typo. At NIWE Academy, our admissions team enrolls 40 students a month, every month. We're looking for someone who reads that number and thinks "I want in," not "that sounds hard."

If you've sold gym memberships, credit cards, cell plans, cars, solar, or anything else where you had a target, a phone, and a door to knock on, you already know what this job feels like. The difference is what you're selling: a career that changes someone's life.

Who We Are

NIWE Academy is Western Canada's leading beauty and wellness college. Since 2012, we've graduated over 3,500 students in Hairstyling, Barbering, Esthetics, Clinical Aesthetics, Laser, PMU, and more. We're licensed by Alberta Advanced Education and are the only AIT-approved apprenticeship Program provider in Southern Alberta.

Many of our students are women building a new career and financial independence. When you enroll someone, you're not closing a deal. You're opening a door.

What You'll Do

• Respond fast to inbound leads by phone, text, and email. Speed wins here.
• Book, confirm, and run campus tours that make prospective students feel the opportunity.
• Have real conversations about goals, finances, and timelines, then ask for the enrollment with confidence.
• Handle objections with empathy and facts, not pressure.
• Guide students through the enrollment process from "yes" to first day of class.
• Own your pipeline in our CRM and keep every lead moving.
• Hit and beat monthly enrollment targets. Your numbers are visible and they matter.

Who You Are

• You've been through the ringer. You've worked a quota, heard "no" a hundred times in a week, and still showed up the next morning hungry.
• You ask for the sale. You're not shy about closing. You know that helping someone decide is part of helping them.
• You build relationships. People trust you quickly because you actually listen.
• You're driven by results. You track your own numbers and you want to be on top of the board.
• You're coachable. You want structured sales training and you'll use it.
• You're honest. You'd rather lose an enrollment than mislead a student. Every student we enroll should be the right fit for the program.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years in a target-driven sales role
• A track record you can prove with numbers: quotas hit, rankings, awards
• Excellent phone and in-person communication
• Comfort with CRM tools and fast-paced follow-up
• Admissions or education experience is a bonus, not a requirement. We'll teach you the industry. We can't teach drive.
• Additional languages are a strong asset (Punjabi, Hindi, Tagalog, Spanish, Ukrainian, Arabic, and others)

What You Get

• Competitive base salary of $25/hour base plus uncapped commission. Top performers can earn $100,000+.
• Professional sales training using a proven methodology
• A team that celebrates wins and coaches you to the next level
• Benefits, paid birthday off, and growth opportunities as we scale 
• A downtown Calgary workplace inside the CORE
