Are you passionate about being a successful salesperson who forms meaningful relationship with your clients? Are you looking for a fulfilling experience in jewellery and/or education?
As one of the first people students meet as they enter the Jewellery Industry, your role in guiding them towards the skills they need to achieve their goals is crucial. Most students who come to JDMIS find us by themselves, and many do not know how to navigate the industry or how they can make jewellery a rewarding part of the lives. It is your salesmanship and enthusiasm that can turn interested visitors into eager students who may then become passionate and successful jewellery artisans and professionals.

- Work as part of a team to up-sell/cross-sell courses to achieve our monthly sales target.
- Be alert and ready to have quick but constructive responses to questions asked during conversations. You want to be able to notice what students say so that you can advise them accordingly, and also take the opportunity to generate interest in them about suitable courses.
- Build a relationship with clients so that you can understand their goals and point them in the right direction.
- Bring your own experiences and ideas and share them with the team as we constantly work towards improvements. Be able to remain calm should difficult situations arise with customers. Diligently navigate and update JDMIS’ database of students, potential students, courses, and products.
