The Problem

Every Missed Call Is a Lost Enrollment & Frustrated Family

Schools, colleges, and universities handle thousands of calls during enrollment windows, exam periods, and registration deadlines. Overwhelmed offices lose prospective students.

48%

Enrollment Calls Go Unanswered

During peak enrollment, nearly half of prospective student calls go to voicemail. Most never call back — they enroll elsewhere.

$15K–$50K lost per missed enrollment

65%

Parents Expect Immediate Phone Access

Families still prefer phone for enrollment and financial aid questions. Inability to reach admissions drives them to competing institutions.

Average student lifetime value: $40K–$200K

30%

Staff Time Spent on Repetitive Inquiries

Office staff spend a third of their time answering the same questions about deadlines, requirements, and schedules.

Equivalent to 2–3 FTEs per institution
