Learn MoreWhat should you essentially look for in an education CRM?
When considering a student recruitment and enrollment CRM, there are a lot of factors that come into play but we’ve put together the most important ones to help you make the right decision:
Scalability
Ask whether the CRM is specifically designed to handle and support the growth of enrollments in an efficient and effective manner. You would always want to go with a solution that grows with your educational organization.
Customer Success Support
It is important to ask if the CRM provider offers a dedicated Customer Success team to provide assistance and guidance throughout the implementation and ongoing usage of the system.
Functionality and Integration
This is crucial to ensure your teams don’t end up juggling multiple solutions. So make sure you check if the CRM system offers all the essential functions for managing enrollments. In case it relies heavily on third-party integrations, it can not only create complexity for your teams but also result in additional cost.
Adaptability to Team Needs
Any change in process directly impacts the efficiency of your teams Whether that change is positive or negative depends on the capability of the CRM you choose to fit and adapt to your team’s unique requirements and workflows in enrollment management. So, make sure to evaluate how well the CRM aligns with your team’s specific needs to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
