Your Phone Personality

Hello Marc. Great response AND awareness. Sometimes a caller can bring us down but that "tweak" will help you gain the extra 10% that could make all the difference.

Your Phone Personality

Hi Diana. Very interesting that you realize how your tone, pitch, pace, and even smiling can be "heard" over the phone. That's wonderful insight! I'm curious, how do you manage being friendly and professional when prospects just want information over the phone and don't want to come in. You know what I mean? Like the questions and comments like, "Just tell me what it costs."

Changes with Today's Student?

I hear a lot about how today's students are different and how our typical admissions processes sort of "miss the mark". Any thoughts on this?

Improved Communication with the Generations

Great point, Christine. I'm curious however, are there times when the Millennials should follow the lead of other generations, too? For example, I sometimes hear Baby Boomers getting frustrated by the assumption that Millennials don't work as hard and want everything handed to them. Or should we all just accept that's how they are?

Collaboration at Your School

Hi Christine. Sounds as if you are a member of a great organization. As a team member, you play an important role in that success, too. Everything you mention: common goals, mutual respect, working out issues, and constructive criticism are all important to team success. So given this understanding, what might you do differently than you have in the past? Or, what might you add to what you're already doing to make collaboration even better?

Your Team Role

Hello Christine. Based on your response, my guess is you certainly will succeed in anything you do! The desire to be proactive is a wonderful asset. So I'm curious...what's stopping you from creating the databases to organize your contacts?

Improved Communication with the Generations

Hello Christine. These are great insights to the Millennial generation. Do you ever find in your work with students from this generation that they view the "older generations" as intruding on their "space" when we enter their world (i.e. Facebook or other social sites)?

Your Communication Preference

Hi Christine. Thank you for the response to your communication preferences. I'm curious, are these adaptations you make to connect with others or natural preferences in general? In addition, what do you believe influences your preferences outside your generational description?
