PDR"S personally developed Referrals are huge! word of mouth from friends is a great way to attract new prospects. We also send out an introductory email to prospective students.
We find it very effective to send emails to those students on the DNC list. Lots of good feedback from students who prefer to communicate via email.
very vegue and there is no set email that we can send out
As the Director of Recruitment it is imperative that my administrative staff and that my representatives fully understand that any and all referrals must be ran through the DNC registry before they called since they were not the ones that made the initial inquiry about the school. I ask that the admininstrative staff print off proof that the number was ran through the registry and we then we keep it on record to show that we did run the number through and that we are in compliance.
We seek to only use email and call lists with prospects that we have identified that have a legitimate and sincere interest in attending out university. WE have ceased using conference "attendee lists" for use in our email campaigns.
Our University will not call any prospective student that is on a do not contact list. We also give an option to those who wish to be caontacted as to what is the best form of contact. If they choose Email, then we will utilize that form of contact unless instructed otherwise.
They key for us is to provide a means for potential students to inquire of us, rather than us soliciting them. This makes them eligible for follow-up for 90days. During that time, we actively seek to answer their questions regarding our programs.
I usually don't send out to many e-mails unless I am replying to an incoming e-mail from a perspective student. Do Not Call is simply that. I do not call those listed numbers.
We email our appmts after we schedule a tour at the school. We also email them info about what to bring and a scheduled FA appmt. This helps remind them to reduce "no shows".
We also do not "cold call" prospective students. If a student indicates to us that they want more information we then contact them to provide this information.
we also have leads check yes or no for text consent
Our campus only contacts students via telephone and email after the student has reached out initially for more information on our school. We only call them for 3 months after their initial contact with us.
We have a list of approved emails that are very useful in replying to requests, confirming times for appointments and talking about events. As soon as I receive a DNC request I implement it. We have a designated employee to handle all final work for the DNC requests.
It has helped reduce negitivity caused by unwanted solicitation. Even though it has reduced quantity, it has improved the quality.
As an inside admissions rep, we only call people who inquire about information on our campus. We do not do any cold calling.
The education industry is always evolving. So change is editable. The " CAN-SPAM" keeps one conscious of the governing rules to work by. I feel it keeps everyone honest and respectful to people that may not want to be solicited.
As far as recruitment of students this is not one of my functions. I explain our programs and enroll the prospective students.
I've found that emails that are quick and to the point are the most effective in evoking a response from students.
phone use should be less than in the past considering the proliferation of the smart phone. email can provide hard factual info creating a record of the transaction with the phone helping less progressive prospects.
I feel that the emails at important now with the latest technology. Thats how most students communicate now. By email
The school I work for only contacts students that have inquired about attending or have made a request for information.
