The gap between recruitment costs & enrollment rates is growing faster than ever.

Higher ed is caught in a cycle it can’t sustain. Recruiting costs have skyrocketed over the past five years, and enrollment numbers continue to drop. Burned-out teams and outdated systems are leaving students frustrated and slipping through the cracks.

Why is status quo no longer working?

Too slow

When it takes days to get a simple reply - students lose interest.

Too impersonal

Batch-and-blast emails feel generic, impersonal and disconnected.

Too complex

Students don’t know where to turn for answers, and support can’t keep up.

What if you could engage every student like they were your only student? 

Imagine being able to deliver meaningful, one-to-one experiences to every student—without adding to your team’s workload. By leveraging AI and insights from every student interaction, you can turn your enrollment challenges into new opportunities.

A better way to recruit, engage,
and retain students.

When every step of the enrollment journey is intuitive, personal, and proactive, students stay engaged, teams stay focused, and institutions thrive.

Conversations, not forms

Another form, another day–and students aren’t interested. Replace outdated methods with instant, two-way conversations that meet their needs in real time.

Personalize every interaction

Students want to feel like you know them personally. Use insights about their interaction history to recommend the best next steps without making them repeat themselves.

Automate what slows you down

Small teams shouldn’t mean small capacity. Automate the tedious work that bogs your staff down, without sacrificing the personalization students yearn for.

One unified platform to send your enrollment
numbers to the moon.

In the era of personalization, generic outreach doesn’t cut it. Institutions that refuse to change are learning the hard way. But schools making the shift are seeing major lifts in enrollment.
