FAQ

Which CRM works best for higher education?
Salesforce Education Cloud for large universities. HubSpot for mid-size institutions and EdTech. Slate for admissions-focused. Element451 for enrollment marketing. We select based on your institution size and primary use case.
How do you handle FERPA compliance?
Student education records are protected. We configure marketing tools to handle directory information (per FERPA allowances), implement proper consent flows, restrict data access, and never use protected records for marketing without authorization.
Can you help with international student recruitment?
Yes. Multi-language campaigns, country-specific landing pages, timezone-optimized sending, and integration with international recruitment platforms. We build separate nurture paths for domestic and international prospects.
How long does it take to see enrollment improvement?
Quick wins (email optimization, yield campaigns): 2-4 weeks. Full funnel implementation: one enrollment cycle (4-6 months) to measure impact. Most institutions see 15-35% improvement in their first full cycle.
