The Admissions Professional's Code of Conduct

That sounds like a good plan Robert. Sometimes we need reminders or touch points to help us stay focused on our goals. What can you do to remind yourself to slow down and listen to your students at a deeper level?

Interpreting Others' Communication Preference

We can make it a lot easier on ourselves if we simply ask for the students' preferred mode of communication. Why guess, right? However, until we have that initial interaction we have to consider the different generational styles and try a few different communication methods until we find the right one. Thank you Jocelyn for your contribution to the forum.

Your Listening Limitations

It's a tricky balance Cindi but one that is necessary. Without the listening component we may not get to the point of enrolling students, at least the right students. Taking the time to listen creates a win-win situation for you and the student. What can you do to help stay focused on the student's needs rather than yours?
