NextStep Nexus is a Canada-based education consulting company helping students with university admissions, study permits, and career pathways in Canada and other countries.
We are looking for experienced, English-fluent Outbound Sales professionals based in India to join our remote team. Your role will be to contact warm-to-cold leads from our database, build quick rapport, qualify their interest in studying abroad, and book high-quality appointments for our Canadian admissions advisors.
This is not a closing/sales role — you focus on prospecting, qualifying, and setting appointments only.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct high-volume outbound calls (phone + WhatsApp voice where needed) to prospective students and parents from our existing lead database
- Clearly explain our education consulting services and study-abroad benefits in fluent, professional English
- Qualify leads based on their academic profile, budget, timeline, and motivation
- Professionally handle objections and guide conversations toward booking an appointment
- Book confirmed appointments directly into the calendar of our senior Canadian admissions team
- Maintain accurate records of all calls, outcomes, and follow-ups in our CRM
- Meet daily and weekly targets for calls made and qualified appointments booked
Required Skills & Experience:
- 2–4+ years of experience in outbound sales, technical sales, B2C sales, tele-sales, or call center (international process preferred)
- Excellent spoken English with clear, confident, and neutral accent — must be comfortable speaking with clients from Canada.
- Strong communication, persuasion, and objection-handling skills
- Proven ability to handle high call volumes and rejection
- Experience using CRM systems (any CRM experience is fine)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection and a quiet, professional work-from-home setup
- Willingness to work in Canada time zone alignment (evening shifts in India — partial or full overlap)
Preferred Qualifications (Big Advantage):
- Prior experience in education consulting, study abroad, immigration, or international student recruitment
- Background in technical sales, insurance, banking, or any consultative sales role
- Experience selling to international / English-speaking customers
- Multilingual skills (Hindi, Punjabi, etc.) — added advantage but not mandatory
What We Offer:
- Competitive fixed monthly salary (India market rates)
- Attractive performance-based incentives for every qualified appointment booked
- Remote work-from-home (full-time)
- Complete training on our services, scripts, objection handling, and sales process
- Clear performance metrics and growth opportunities within the company
- Opportunity to work with a professional Canada-based education company
Who This Role Is Perfect For:
- Experienced outbound sales executives or tele-sales professionals
- People with strong English communication who enjoy speaking with international clients
- Candidates who want a stable remote job with good incentives
- Professionals who are target-driven, resilient, and good at building quick trust over the phone
Pay: ₹30,000.00 - ₹50,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):
- How many years of outbound sales, tele-sales, cold calling, or call center experience do you have?

- Rate your spoken English on a scale of 1–10 (10 = completely fluent and confident with neutral accent).

- Are you comfortable working evening shifts to align with Canada time (roughly 6 PM – 2 AM IST or similar)?
