Enrollment growth

More of the right students, and more of them staying

Enrollment problems are rarely just marketing. Usually leads wait too long for a reply, the admissions team works without a shared process, or students leave soon after they start. I fix the whole path, from first inquiry to graduation.

What I do

From first inquiry to graduation

Each area can be a focused project or part of a wider enrollment program.

1

Funnel review

Inquiry, appointment, application, enrollment and start data by source and program, showing where students drop and why.

2

Admissions process and playbook

Clear steps, response-time standards, follow-up routines and how the CRM is used day to day.

3

Team training and coaching

Practical workshops on qualifying leads, the first conversation, campus visits and closing, in English, Spanish or Portuguese. I use AI-enabled tools to build training content quickly.

4

Marketing efficiency

Cost per lead and cost per start by channel, and moving budget to what works.

5

Partnerships and new markets

University and regional partnerships, and Latin America market entry.

6

Retention

Onboarding, early-warning signals, and handoffs between admissions, academics and student services.

Proof
