Help Families Make Confident Decisions About Their Children's Education

At Novastar Prep, we believe that every student has extraordinary potential—and that the right educational support can make a lasting difference in their confidence, academic performance, and future opportunities.

For more than 17 years, Novastar Prep has helped thousands of students achieve their academic goals through personalized, one-on-one tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation, advanced academic support, and college readiness services.

As we continue expanding our national presence, we are seeking an accomplished, results-driven Academic Enrollment Advisor who combines strong consultative sales capabilities with exceptional communication skills, sound judgment, and a commitment to helping families make informed educational decisions.

This is not a traditional high-pressure sales position. It is a relationship-driven, performance-oriented role where your ability to listen, identify needs, communicate value, and guide families toward appropriate solutions directly influences student success and your earning potential.

No cold calling. You will work primarily with company-generated inquiries, qualified prospects, existing client relationships, and referral opportunities.

If you thrive in a consultative sales environment, enjoy engaging with discerning clients, and take pride in achieving measurable results, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

The Role

As an Academic Enrollment Advisor, you will serve as a trusted resource for families navigating important academic decisions.

You will engage with parents to understand their children's academic needs, challenges, and aspirations, then recommend personalized tutoring and test preparation solutions that align with their goals.

You will take ownership of the enrollment process—from initial consultation and needs assessment through recommendation, follow-up, and successful enrollment.

The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable establishing rapport with families, confidently discussing the value of premium educational services, and consistently achieving ambitious sales goals.

Key Responsibilities

1. Consultative Enrollment & Sales

• Conduct thoughtful consultations with parents to understand students' academic needs, goals, learning challenges, and educational priorities.
• Recommend appropriate tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation, academic enrichment, AP/IB support, and college readiness services.
• Communicate the value of personalized tutoring clearly and persuasively while addressing questions and objections about pricing, timing, and program effectiveness.
• Convert qualified inquiries into enrollments while ensuring recommendations align with students' needs.
• Consistently achieve or exceed monthly and quarterly revenue, enrollment, and conversion targets.

2. Lead Management & Relationship Development

• Manage a robust pipeline of company-generated leads, incoming inquiries, referrals, and reactivation opportunities.
• Conduct timely follow-up through phone, email, text, and video consultations.
• Develop trusted relationships with prospective and existing families, identifying opportunities to expand or resume academic support.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, including consultation notes, pipeline status, follow-up commitments, and enrollment activity.
• Demonstrate disciplined pipeline management and ownership of individual performance.

3. Client Experience & Student Success

• Partner with Novastar's academic and tutor-support teams to ensure a seamless transition from enrollment to service delivery.
• Set realistic expectations about tutoring services, the learning process, and student progress.
• Support a positive family experience through thoughtful communication, responsiveness, and professionalism.
• Identify additional academic needs as students advance through different educational stages.
• Represent Novastar's commitment to individualized learning, student confidence, and long-term academic development.

4. Performance Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor individual sales performance, conversion rates, revenue production, and pipeline effectiveness.
• Participate in coaching, skills development, and performance reviews.
• Demonstrate openness to feedback, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
• Contribute ideas to strengthen the enrollment process, customer experience, and overall team effectiveness.
• Collaborate with colleagues while maintaining a high degree of individual accountability.

Qualifications

Required

• 3+ years of demonstrated success in consultative sales, inside sales, enrollment advising, or another relationship-driven sales environment.
• Proven ability to meet or exceed established revenue or sales quotas.
• Strong discovery, needs-assessment, relationship-building, negotiation, and closing skills.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication, with the ability to engage professionally and confidently with parents.
• Experience selling services where trust, personalization, and perceived value significantly influence purchasing decisions.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
• Proficiency with CRM systems, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and virtual communication platforms.
• Ability to manage a substantial volume of client interactions and sales opportunities in a remote work environment.
• Self-motivation, accountability, emotional intelligence, and a results-oriented mindset.
• Genuine interest in education, student development, and helping families make informed decisions.

Preferred

• Experience in K–12 tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation, college admissions services, educational consulting, or EdTech.
• Experience selling premium, personalized, or high-consideration services to families or individual consumers.
• Working knowledge of K–12 academic pathways, AP/IB programs, standardized testing, and college readiness.
• Experience managing qualified inbound leads and maintaining strong consultation-to-enrollment conversion rates.
• A bachelor's degree in business, marketing, education, communications, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to coach peers, improve processes, or contribute to team-wide sales effectiveness.

Work Environment & Schedule

This is a full-time, remote position open to qualified candidates based in the United States.
