Activity

It makes sense that you would connect easiest with your peers. Mirroring is a great tool for connecting with the various generational styles. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your post Andriana. What specifically can you do to improve your sales skills?
Great observation. Which of these elements do you think you could personally improve upon?
Taking the time to get to know your students and understanding their communication preference can help you in many ways. How do you adjust your communication to match the student's preferred communication style?
Coordinating with your co-workers sounds like a win-win-win for you, your co-workers, and the people you're calling. Thank you for your post Josh.
Are these students from out of the area interested in online or on-campus classes? If they're placing an interest in on-campus classes and they are resisting coming to the campus for a visit, what do you think they are trying to tell you? Perhaps they need more information, perhaps they are in the research stage of their decision-making process, or maybe they don't understand the value of coming to the campus. What can you adjust to better meet the needs of these prospective students?
Mixing up your call times is a great idea as well as trying different methods such as email and texting (if you're school is set up to text). What can you do to improve the length of your calls?
I'll bet your student's appreciate the focused attention and making them a priority when you're meeting with them. How can you improve the process so that the students calling (especially for the first time) can get the same feeling when they call your campus?
It's great that you have the needs of the prospective student as the focus of your process. What do you think you need to do to improve the flow of calls?
Once we are in rapport with our students we can take the opportunity to model positive body language. Admissions professionals need to be professional at all times, but mirroring our students can help to build rapport. Thanks for your post Bill.
