Knowing your product
Knowing your product is very important in this field. Everything changes almost on a daily basis so you have to be on top of it. This also helps so that you are able to explain to potential students any and all of the knowledge necessary to have to complete the program.
Knowing your product is a direct representation of your institution. If you are not on top of daily changes and structure variances, it will make you appear as though you do not care about your institution or the products you offer. On top of which it could appear as though your institution is not even aware itself of what it offers, and deter potential students.
Knowing your product, your school, it's program
offerings, and key personnel, make you a more complete and confident educational recruiter. One must also believe in what one is doing.
While we as recruiters are looking for resolve
from a prospective student, we in turn must be committed to doing the best we can do in presenting them life-changing opportunities.

I agree that knowing your product is definitely a direct representation of your college. I think it is very important that you are an expert when talking about the programs you offer and the services that are provided at your institution.

I thinking being confident and knowing your product is something a potential student can see.
Knowing your product requires an in-depth training program. It takes time to learn all the information you need to know about your school. Knowing your product involves more than just stating the programs you offer, it also means having a good understanding of services offered to students and the different school processes that they need to be familiar with.
