Hello Group, This was a basic review of communication. Interrupting while listening is something I am aware that I need to work on. This was a great reminder. Thank you!

How do you handle someone that only wants to basics and won't go on a tour with you and say their time is limited and they are just comparing schools anyway.

When you know the parents are not happy with their child's choice in attending your school. How do you get them to see the benefit of it?

Tone of voice I feel would be important to communicate with your prospect because you can reflect different levels of excitment and tone.

I feel when you are on a one and one discussion with a prospect or student that you should a positive approch and build excitment will make the prospect feel more excited.

I've use we've never met or you don't know me personally or the work I do when introducing my self to a referral if needed in order to engange conversation.

The most challenging obtacle I find is setting the appointment with a spouse, significant other, parent or other form of buying committee. I normally ask about their relationships with any other individuals in their decision making process.

I've used simple probing questions such as: What made you interested in.....? Why do you want to be.....? You requested information because.....? How did you find out about.....? How long have you been interested.....? Are you related or do you know someone who.....?

what to do when you can not stop talking? abd you have a long line of studens?

When the student crosses the line ... is appropriate respecting the dialogue cut?

I definetly agree that body language is very important when communicating with someone. Students should feel welcome not like they are bothering you.

Nowadays people tend to write emails like they do text messages. Emails from work should be professional.

what would be the best approach in a multi generational environment?

The most important thing in human being it is definitely the communication, and the way communicate each otter even without talk demonstrated everything we are from inside out...

In many situations internal listening should be a way out to escape from people you do not want to talk to...

It is really empathy or sympathy helps you to assist students better?

why do you think body language is the most efficient way to communicate to the human being ?

When thinking about the elements outlined in the first module I believe that the example given had great value and I will be adding a few parts to my admissions process. I especially liked the portion stating "I'm really here to learn and listen so I'd like to ask you a few questions to get started. Will that work for you?" I have used something similar in the past but this is clearer and asks for engagement from the prospective student. Did anyone else find that they will be adding something similar to their process?

This is no east task when promoting your school via a myriad of social media outlets you may be required to promote within. I need to talk to teachers, admin reps, HR ... to identify great students to talk with and gave knowledge on to promote on the schools social media. (Among other events and functions the school conducts. Where does one start when all promotional material needs to be redesigned for consistence? Is the material to the point and able to stand alone? Is this material all the a prospect student needs to educate his or herself on the benefits of our school and its courses? Where to start when we need to engage users on our social media outlets and so much other material needs consistency?

The avenue I am spear heading is building public relations via social media outlets across 5+ campuses. Questions: What are some best practices to find those in the social media platform that may be interested in the services the school I am employed with offer? Once this 'prospect' is identified, an introduction and discussion of my schools services will be made. To introduce them to the value that X school can have on their career and/or life. In addition, I can ask questions to pull information on what some of their interests may be and align with the values and courses of my school. When I was attending art school many years ago, it was the norm to accept as many students as possible to enroll. Through observing my fellow students over the years, I learned that many didnt not understand is the level of what they put into the classes is what they took home with them after graduation. Is there anything I can do to stress the importance of success everyday in class to ensure that our classes are their final gateway to a life-long career and not just another school with another set of classes to take before they change careers and get caught up in the endless circle of "finding" themselves and their future career? Before a prospective new student is discovered whom can benefit from my schools services/courses, we must discover what is inherently social about our school brand. What people naturally want to engage with and talk about with their friends (also prospects) and use this to fuel ideas for creative publicity. What kind of creative brand content can we develop that will be engaging, has personality and drives people to share and ultimately become a student of our school. Develop publicity campaigns that are designed to get people to participate or share and be expressed across multiple social platforms. Social media is the new marketing of todays world. They current ways of marketing are on their way to join the fate of the 8-track tape. Friends within a network of other friends are the best forms of recommendations. Friends are not going to tell their friends something that is not remarkable. It's just a waste of time. The key may mbe to make the school remarkable. Something worth talking about (after reading a post about the schools event, etc.). However, building a relationship via social media is not a physical process. I can go up to a prospect student and shake his or her hand and chat about one of our courses. How do I or how can I demonstrate our value while being remarkable without being physically next to the prospect student? I am hoping I will know how while taking these training courses and share and discuss with you all.
