What does a CRM promise to offer for a Study Abroad or Education Consultants?
We are not just talking about storing databases of contacts and to use them to do cold calling or send bulk emails. We are talking about potential CRM that can build value addition to businesses and help in increasing productivity and profitability.
Let us take a normal scenario where counselors get walk-ins and everyday enquiries that needs to be dealt with. Tens and hundreds of enquiries, stored in excel and following up with them and keeping up with priority cases is definitely a nightmare.
CRM Software for Business
So a basic CRM can ofcourse help in storing, managing these leads, timely notifications on follow up and probably keeping track of the lead progress. That’s all right. I mean that is what many CRMs promise to help in managing daily work activities.
If you are thinking CRM is just the above, then you are wrong. CRM is vast and it can do much more than you can imagine.
When you say daily work activities of an education counselor or an expert, it involves collecting the lead details, converting them into a potential student, complete registration, conducting interviews, get the fund approvals, take care of medicals, submission and approval of visas, etc. and ofcourse these are handled by different subject matter experts. How are these taken care in a CRM?
Not to forget the managers who want to keep track of these operations, the timelines on these and managing the entire process and ensuring that everything is getting done and is running smoothly on time. Well, it sounds like you need to build a custom software to take care of all these processes? That’s the only option is what you think!
