Ep. 82: Don’t Lose Them at Hello: Build Prospect Nurturing Plans That Work
Description
Every email, text, and touchpoint with a prospective student matters. Get it right, and you move them closer to enrollment. Get it wrong, and you may lose them to another institution. In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Starkey-Wood, Sr. Director of Digital Strategy at Stamats. She breaks down the must-dos of prospect nurturing: from mapping communication by stage and student type, to delivering quick wins that keep your funnel strong. You’ll hear why “day zero” response is critical, how to avoid overwhelming prospective students, and why student workers may lead you to your most valuable insights.
