Get students agreement before moving forward
Offer lists of resources to them when they have a barrier that they can't seem to figure out on their own. Be honest, don't tell people what they want to hear. Be empathetic. Its okay if they don't choose your school.
Having a personalized tour while being as helpful as possible to how the programs being discussed can benefit the students. Students may not always feel as though a program is the best fit for them but having the opportunity to lead them into the direction of a program can possibly have them re-think their decision.
Giving an example of an experience from another student and then asking them what they see as a benefit good strategy. I believe this is a good lesson for seeking common ground towards agreement.
Use your resources to create the best pathway. Get to know the prospect to assist in their choices
The 3rd step is definitely critical to the rest of the enrollment process. If the student does not mutually agree with moving forward you will lose in the end
Adding value is what connects the attributes to the goals of the student.
Practice validating, normalizing, and neutralizing!
Establishing an ethical enrollment process is crucial for ensuring fairness, transparency, and trust.
Love this sentiment: pause to get your student's agreeement to continue moving ahead.
