Bryce, Excellent points! Some people are naturally good at some of these competencies and yet others require training. All are essential to sales success however the "weight" or "focus" from past admissions training programs has been heavy in sales/product knowledge instead of the others. We believe it's time to help people develop skills in these other areas - and yes....some things can be taught! :) Dr. Jean Norris
Pamela, I'm so happy you have found a great "fit" between your personal values and that of your organization. This alignment is essential to personal and professional health for so many reasons. As for your last point on students who are "in need" and yet may not succeed - I tend to focus on what skills we can add to our own "toolbox" to support these people to help them succeed. Does that make sense? Dr. Jean Norris
melinda, Great points. Yes, it is challenging to find and serve today's students. What changes can an organization make to stand out amongst the competition? Dr. Jean Norris
Katrena, Very interesting. Do you have an example you can share with us from your own experience? Dr. Jean Norris
Christopher, All excellent points! So how is an admissions professional suppose to keep their attitude in tip top shape? Any ideas on how you do this? Dr. Jean Norris
Erica, These are great ideas. By adding creativity it helps you break out of the clutter of other messages the prospective student may receive. Keep us posted on how it's working for you! Dr. Jean Norris
Erica, Yes, the financial commitment is a tough one for a lot of folks in this economic environment. Do you have other resources to help them overcome this particular obstacle? Dr. Jean Norris
Erica, So very true that distractions can hinder focus. What do you do specifically to minimize distractions in your work area? Dr. Jean Norris
