I do know that the resource book is such a great tool to have at your fingertips. I also liked the ideas of having the organizational chart.

Whatever your role is in your school. It is important and should be shared by everyone.

Another great thing to have on a regular basis is weekly or bi weekly meeitings. IT keeps everyone in the loop, and you learn - good and bad from each other

Competitors

I agree. It will make you look bad and not confident if you are not talking about your school and bad-mouthing another.

Be confident and passionate about what you do, and so will the student

Keeping in touch

I think its important to keep in contact with your graduates. It's cool to know "where are they now". It also makes them feel good about the reputation of the company. With that, they are more liketly to tell their friends about their experience with the school.

Enrollment Agreements

@johnware

When a new prospective students is interested in the class, I make sure I have all the necessary paperwork in front of me. We go through the catalog. I then go through our curriculum and our training book so they see exactly what they will learn. Once they are confortable with that, I take out enrollment agreetment, and go over it section by section.

I then asked if they have any other additinal questions. If they are ready to enroll and make a payment, they get a copy of their enrollment agreement and a catalog.

Set your school apart

Sometimes you hear rumors about your competition, - that they are saying negative things about your school.

Even if that is the case, doesn't mean your school needs to follow in their footsteps.

Take the high road, stay positive, and be proud of the job you do. When you do that, I guarantee your enrollments will see that too. They don't want to hear why the shouldn't go to the other school, they want to hear why they should go to yours.

Same old thing

I have realized over the last few years, that not changing your instruction (classes that are taught), can sometimes be a burnout, without you realizing it.

It is a great thing to step back, and come with new ways to teach the required curriculum, but to turn - possible burnout - to a fun, optimistic experience for all.

Passion = happy self, happy employees and more importantly have customers.

Competition of other schools

This really strikes a chord with me. There are things that you hear from potential students that have visited other schools. I try not to take it personally, but it is personal. I am confident on the attributes and strengths I bring to the school.

I don't understand why another school has to make such negative comments. What good does that do. If you believe in yourself and what your school stands for .. I just don't understand.

If your potential students come visit your school - wouldn't your want to emphasize on why you shouldn't go there, but explain… >>>

Graduation ceremonies

Although are school has graduates every week, sometimes it is difficult to keep up with them, if they have moved, if they decided to change the field they got trained in. I do like the idea of have an alumni celebration, and I am excited to get my team involved and to hear their thoughts and ideas
