Your Most Challenging Obstacles

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?

Breaking Bad Habits

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?

Inbound Calls at Your Office

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?

Mirroring or Modeling?

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.

Addressing Team Challenges

It's very true that each generation has something to offer if we give them the opportunity to effectively express their ideas. Understanding the generational styles allows us to better address the challenges when they come up and it sounds like you are ready and willing to do that. Best of luck with your new awareness and opportunity.

Improving Communications

That's a great idea Cindi. We can get caught up in our day-to-day back and forth of business that we often forget that a pleasant good morning or afternoon can make a difference. Thank you for your post.
