Job description

Location: Toronto, ON - Hybrid (4 days on-site, 1 day WFH. Opportunity to work from home on Fridays.)

EF Educational Tours helps teachers change their students’ lives through educational travel, with itineraries designed around experiential learning that spark curiosity, confidence, and connection. Our mission is to open the world through education—helping people see new places, experience new cultures, and discover more about the world and themselves.

As a Travel Sales Consultant, you’ll be on the front lines of our sales team, driving growth through proactive outreach. Your focus will be making outbound calls to teachers across Canada, sparking new conversations every day and turning fresh prospects into long-term partners. Rather than waiting for opportunities to come to you, you’ll be creating them—introducing educators to the transformative power of educational travel and inspiring them to bring these experiences to their students. You'll build long-term relationships with your customers and help them along their journey - before, during, and after travel. If you’re energized by the thrill of cold calling, building a pipeline from scratch, and hitting ambitious targets, this is the role for you. Every call is a chance to change lives and open doors to the world.

What You'll Do

Acquire and grow your customer base within your assigned territory by identifying, developing, and executing opportunities to drive growth.

Build lasting partnerships with teachers and educators — inspiring them to lead travel programs and helping them every step of the way, from recruitment through safe return home.

Prospect and expand your pipeline through strategic outreach — cold calls, networking, creative email campaigns, and uncovering new markets.

Deliver results by forecasting and achieving monthly and quarterly sales goals.

Communicate effectively through email, phone, video calls, and in-person meetings to engage and support your customers.

Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to ensure every tour runs smoothly and exceeds expectations.

Sell with purpose — you’re not just selling a product; you’re helping students see the world, grow their confidence, and expand their horizons.

Who You Are

• You’re eager to start your career in sales with a role that offers real responsibility and accountability – an entrepreneur at heart, you’re ready to take charge and forge your own path to success
• You're a natural at connecting with people and building relationships - you can build rapport with a complete stranger in a matter of minutes
• You’re goal-oriented and relentless - there’s no better feeling to you than hitting a target, and you’re motivated by the challenge of surpassing it.
• You’re entrepreneurial by nature - driven to open doors, uncover prospects, and seek out new opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you.
• You’re fiercely competitive - in a collaborative, team player sort-of-way!
• You’re adaptable and resourceful - you don’t shy away from tough calls, creative outreach, or thinking outside the box to get in front of the right people.
• You’re a great persuasive communicator and natural networker, who loves talking to people and sharing your passion
• You want to be part of a team that motivates and inspires you
• Some past sales and prospecting experience is an asset, but not a requirement! Our comprehensive training program will teach you everything you need to know to build a successful sales career, even if you have never worked in sales before.

About EF Education First

Some companies are in the Business of Technology.

Others are in the Business of Finance….Sports…Or Soft Drinks.

At EF, we're in a different kind of Business.

One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important.

Because our Business, what we make, makes everything else possible.

We're in the Business of Understanding.

For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through Language, Cultural Exchange, Academic Studies, and Educational Travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world.

You’ll find our 115 offices located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team. But it’s what we do with it – Building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world…that makes all the difference.
