• Clearly and accurately explain RMG's services, what they do and don't guarantee, fee structures, and the PSA terms.
• Hit monthly enrollment and revenue targets while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and candidate trust.
• Maintain clean, current records in the CRM and hand off enrolled clients smoothly to placement/academic teams.
