If one is to be honest, you are a salesperson if you are working at a for profit school. In most cases, there is a number of enrollments that the school is shooting for each admissions period. However, if you are a good, honest, agent, you are doing much more than selling. You are ensuring the school os right for your prospective student and vice versa. You are trying to be sure the student enrolls in a program that is a good fit for him or her. You are not making any promises, but are trying to educate the prospective student as best as possible so that he or she can make a good, informed decision about enrolling or not. This is also helping the school because the students you do enroll are much more likely to stay and make it through the program. It also makes it more likely that employers are going to hire your graduates, which will help the school as well. You CANNOT just sell, sell, sell without educating and trying to help the individual make a good informed choice.
