November Survey: Where are your prospects coming from?
Every day you get prospects from different sources. Some from advertising, some directly from your website, and some from friends and family referrals. Hopefully you're keeping track of each.

Determine what your lead sources are and make it your goal to assign a source to every enrolled student. You can use surveys to generate rough numbers, or, use technology to track a prospect from the time he/she first inquires. There are great software tools available today to help you with tracking.

What are you using to track where your prospects are coming from?

  • student surveys
  • database tracking
