How Instant Inbound Responses Boost Enrolment

The Problem: Response Time Is the New Competitive Advantage

Today’s students behave more like consumers than ever before. They expect Amazon-level responsiveness—especially when exploring life-changing decisions like where to study.

And yet, admissions teams often:

• Take hours (or days) to reply to new inquiries

• Rely on manual CRM alerts or email queues

• Miss out on prospects who move on or lose interest

In fact, studies show:

• You’re 100× more likely to connect with a lead if you respond within 5 minutes

• In higher ed, 78% of students enroll at the first school that responds

The Cory Advantage: Instant Inbound Response, Every Time

Cory is your AI admissions assistant that never sleeps, never delays, and never misses a lead.

When Jordan filled out Westbridge Tech University’s form, Cory responded immediately—with a multi-channel outreach that looked like this:

• Text Message: “Hey Jordan! Thanks for checking out our Computer Science program. Want to hop on a quick call or get the program guide?”

• Email: Personalized message with a downloadable brochure, FAQs, and a calendar link

• Voice Call (Optional): Cory places a warm, outbound call inviting Jordan to chat now

While other schools took hours, Cory had already booked Jordan for a call later that evening.

Why It Works

Speed Converts

That first 5-minute window is gold. Cory operates in 30 seconds or less, turning casual interest into active engagement.

Smart Prioritization

Cory routes hot leads straight to your team—only once they’re engaged and qualified.

Lower Staff Load

No more waiting on voicemails or digging through inboxes. Cory handles first contact, so your team focuses on meaningful conversations.

Seamless Follow-Up

If the student doesn’t respond, Cory automatically follows up over the next 3–4 days across channels—politely, persistently, and without repeating itself.

Easy Integration, Fast Results

Cory plugs directly into your existing admissions tools in under a week:

• Phone systems

No overhaul. No IT backlog. Just smarter admissions, instantly.

Scenario: Beating the Clock to Book a Student

You’re Jordan, a high school senior interested in the Computer Science program at Westbridge Tech University. Earlier today, you filled out forms at three different schools and even left a voicemail for one of them.

It’s been a few hours... and nothing. 

But just seconds after you submitted your request at Westbridge, Cory reached out. She sent you a friendly text, offered to answer questions, and even asked if you'd like to schedule a call today. Cory isn’t just fast—she’s helpful, persistent, and actually makes it easier to commit.

In this demo, Cory plays the role of an admissions assistant who engages instantly and stays with you from “first ring” to “registration form.”

Try saying things like:

• “Wow, that was fast—how did you know I just submitted the form?”

• “I left voicemails for other schools... are you going to help me faster than them?”

• “Can you help me book a call today?”

• “What makes Westbridge’s Computer Science program different?”
