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.

The Data Doesn’t Lie

  • Responding within 5 minutes makes you:

    • 100× more likely to connect

    • 21× more likely to qualify a lead

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

If you’re not first—you’re forgotten.

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?”
