The Role of Admissions Training in the Career College Drama

Hello Michael. To answer your questions on "information limits" I want to make sure I understand what you mean. If you are asking what should they answer or not answer I believe there is no limit here. I think the KEY is the AR knows how to handle the call effectively WHILE providing the information they seek.

Deciding to be a manager or leader

Excellent assessment Elaine! It surely does take both skill sets (management and leadership)along with the knowledge to know which one to use. I'm curious, how do you know which skills to use based on the people involved?

Changes with Today's Student?

Paul - I think you've hit the nail on the head. Maybe it's not as much about training people but untraining what has gotent in the way of them being "real". And for the record, I believe it is possible to be effective and ethical vs. a choice (ie make money while helping another person change their life).

Your Most Challenging Obstacles

Your last sentence is very, very true Elizabeth. I love it! The student's initial perception of the college and their ultimate choice on where they go to school is based on first impressions. I'm curious then...given this is true, then why wouldn't we engage them over the phone versus making them come on campus initially?

Improving Your Call Process

So it sounds as if you have some great things going on as well as a challenge. First, it's wonderful the goal is to answer by the second ring - very nice! The fact that your office is the central triage area can certainly make it hard to offer the level of customer service that you strive for. Any ideas on how to change this to service the prospective student better as well as others?
