Maximizing Conversions with Rapid Lead Response
The Challenge: Every Second Counts with New Inquiries
When a prospective student fills out a “Request Info” form, their interest is at its peak—but only for a brief window. Within minutes, they’re likely:
-
Filling out forms at other schools
-
Getting distracted by work or family
-
Forgetting the excitement they felt when they clicked “submit”
The average admissions team responds in hours, if not days.
That’s a problem. Because response time isn’t just a metric—it’s a deal-breaker.

Scenario: From Form to Follow-Up in 30 Seconds
You’re Carlos, a prospective student interested in the Data Analytics program at Westbridge Tech University. It’s 9:17 PM on a Thursday, and you just hit “submit” on the info request form.
You expect to wait until morning for a reply. But Cory surprises you with an instant message—and keeps following up with helpful, human-like support over the next few days.
🗣️ Try saying things like:
-
“⚡ I just submitted my info—how are you texting me already?”
-
“📩 Can I get the course guide without scheduling a call right away?”
-
“🤔 What if I’m not ready to apply yet—will you still follow up?”
-
“🧠 How do you already know my name and program of interest?”
This isn’t a form submission. It’s a live test of how fast and effective AI admissions can be.
