PROLOGUE
Something's brewing for August...
You know that feeling when you're in a conversation with a person who is involved with enrollment at their school, and they casually mention something they're doing with AI that makes you think, "Wait, what? How are they doing that?"
Yeah, we need to talk.
After my fall AI marketing summit, I kept hearing the same thing from admission folks: "This is great for marketing, but what about the enrollment side?"
Fair question.
Because let's be honest—managing inquiries, nurturing prospects, and guiding families through the admission process while maintaining that personal touch we're known for?
That's its own unique challenge.
I've been working on something specifically for the admission and enrollment community. Something that addresses the real questions you're wrestling with about AI in student recruitment.
Tomorrow morning, I'm sharing what I've been up to and how you can be part of it.
Let's just say August 21st is looking pretty interesting...
Until Tomorrow,
Brendan
