The overwhelming majority of students – we’re talking above 90% – regardless of their grade or the stage they’re at in their college or transfer search process are worried or scared about one or more things. If you’re looking for an easy way to build trust, show empathy and increase engagement with students, ask them about their fears and worries. We continue to find that most admissions counselors and enrollment marketers are not intentionally making this topic a part of their conversation because they think it’s either too intrusive, or it’s not really that big of a deal. Please know it’s not, and in addition to being important, it can help you stand out from your competitors. The easiest way to discover what a student is scared or worried about is by asking them a direct, intentional question like, “Jeremy, what are you worried about most when you think about your college search?” You can ask that as the call to action in an email or text message, during a high school visit or a college fair, or during a campus visit. #highered #higheredmarketing #higheredleadership #emchat #trust

❓Do you know why admissions advisors are not really focused on the types of conversations they're having? 🥁🥁🥁🪘...because their focus is "If I want to avoid the dreadful walk to my DOA's office at end of the week, I need to: ✔️Stack appointments ✔️Interview as many folks as possible ✔️Dial until my fingertips are numb 👀See who I can re-enroll even if they were the most shaky students on my books... 👎🏾This is backwards... If each advisor focuses on one quality conversation at a time... ...actively listen and understand who the individual is on the line or in front of them, guess what? They won't just meet expectations, but they'll exceed them. 👉🏾Shift the focus. If you really want to know how to help your advisors understand how simple it could be to manage their own expectations, let's chat and I'll show you. #admissionstraining #collegeadmissions #studentrecruitment #admissions #highered
