Other CRMs can take a year or more to implement. Our average start-to-finish implementation takes about 10 weeks. Some partner institutions even begin sending fully-designed and personalized emails in as little as one week.

Element451 was the CRM of choice as it not only would have the capability to meet our needs in recruitment, admissions, and student onboarding, but the variety of features and functions support additional business processes.

Element451 provides an excellent CRM along with the trained staff to assist their partner schools with the planning, implementation and training to customize their product to the unique approach of each individual school.

With the vast amount of technology that is a part of everyday life, we needed a solution to help us efficiently and dynamically connect with prospective students.
