Parents — we’ve got some really exciting news to share! 😎 A college’s sticker price rarely reflects what families actually pay, and we all know there’s a lot more to consider than tuition alone. That’s why we, in partnership with College Aid Pro, built True Cost, a new tool that helps families finally see the real total cost of college — and not just for one year, but all four. 💸 From tuition and loans to everyday expenses like laundry, social life, and off-campus rent, True Cost has you covered for every college on your list, plus insights into how your choice might shape your financial future. 💡 Build your free, personalized True Cost report here 👉 niche.com/truecost

When families aren't enrolling in your school, the reason often isn't lack of interest. 😲 Instead, invisible friction points are usually the culprit. 😶🌫️ We're giving you four steps to help you measure what’s working and fix what isn’t so you can create a fast, frictionless experience for families. 🙌 1️⃣ Map the funnel, set stage-specific KPIs, and identify choke points. Assign KPIs for each stage and build a dashboard or simple Google Sheet. 2️⃣ Respond quickly (speed-to-lead counts!). Studies in the education sector consistently show that earlier contact significantly increases conversion. 3️⃣ Personalize outreach and nurture sequences. Parents expect tailored messaging, and personalization reduces friction and raises conversion. 4️⃣ Let tours and content do the heavy lifting. Prospective families want to “see” your school before committing to an in-person visit. Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/eacRCUNp
