The Art of Follow Up
LESSON SUMMARY
Recapping the previous call with prospective students is a crucial step in the enrollment process. By confirming details such as program commitment, timeframe, funding arrangements, and the support system, you ensure that both you and the student are on the same page. This shared understanding of the student's needs and expectations is essential for setting realistic goals and delivering the right support. For example, if a student mentioned during the previous call that they have time constraints due to work commitments, you can tailor your communication to highlight the flexibility of the program or offer additional resources to help them manage their time effectively. This personalized approach not only shows that you care about the student's success but also reinforces the value of the program in addressing their specific needs.
In addition to enhancing the student's experience, recapping the previous call allows you to update the database with essential information gathered during the conversation. By documenting the details discussed and any specific requests or concerns raised by the student, you can provide more personalized support in future interactions. For instance, if a student mentioned a preference for online resources over in-person workshops, you can proactively send them relevant materials or connect them with online support groups. This attention to detail not only improves the student's journey but also demonstrates your commitment to meeting their individual needs. In the next lesson, we will delve into the significance of continuous follow-up in maintaining student engagement and ensuring their success throughout the program.
