An extra 100 conversions, and we even convinced Google to drop their prices by $100 per conversion. 💰

135 direct enrolments from Google, breaking our previous record of 70-something. 🥇

It’s been a big week at Student Convert, and we thought we’d start sharing some of our highlights with you. 🌟

We often get so caught up in running everything for our clients that we forget to celebrate the little wins and funny team moments along the way. 🤣

So, here’s our first weekly recap!

One of our clients asked us to reduce their ad spend by half as for the first time in 20 years all their classes were full until the end of the year. We were so excited, as you can tell by the sea of emoji reactions in pic one. 😱🙌

We also crunched the numbers for September this week, and it turns out September was our best month on Google this year! 🔥📈💥

We're talking 100 extra conversions, and we even convinced Google to drop their prices by $100 per conversion. 💰

And… there's more! We had 135 direct enrolments from Google, breaking our previous record of 70-something. 🥇

One client made a whopping 80 purchases/enrolments from Google ads with way less spend. 🌟💸

We also got great feedback from a new client that said they're loving Student Convert and let’s be honest, nothing makes us happier. 🤝❤️

Oh, and in other news, Laura's fur baby, Mr. Barkley, officially joined the team and got his own Student Convert T-shirt. He's our first Caine employee and, let's be real, a very good boy! 🐶👕

Speaking of T-shirts, Tracie might have gone a tad wild with the merch for the Velg Conference (pic 6).

We're now on a mission to transport 12 boxes to the Gold Coast next month.

But hey, if you're attending the conference, you won't be going home empty-handed. We've got you covered with a whole bunch of Student Convert goodies.! 🎁

🚫📊 Don't let the consequences of not having a CRM impact your RTO's success! 😬

Check out these 4 reasons why it's crucial to manage student data and interactions with a CRM:

1️⃣ Lack of data visibility can lead to missed opportunities and poor decision-making.

Without a CRM, RTOs may struggle to access and analyse student data, making it difficult to identify at-risk students or make informed decisions about program improvements.

2️⃣ Poor customer experience can damage your RTO's reputation.

Without a CRM, managing student interactions can be challenging, leading to a lack of consistency and personalisation in the customer experience. This can result in frustration and a negative perception of the RTO.

3️⃣ Increased workload and potential burnout for RTO staff.

Without a CRM, manual tasks that could be automated, such as tracking student progress or inputting data into spreadsheets, can lead to increased workload and potential burnout.

4️⃣ Lack of scalability can hinder RTO growth. Without a CRM, managing student data and interactions becomes increasingly complex as an RTO expands into new programs or locations, making it challenging to manage growth and scale the business.

📈💻 With a CRM in place, RTOs can streamline processes, make data-driven decisions, and provide a personalised experience for their students. Ultimately, this leads to greater success and growth for the RTO.

Don't miss out on opportunities for growth and success!

📢 Attention all RTOs! Did you know that delayed follow-up beyond the first minute of a lead enquiry can cost you valuable enrolments? 💸

In fact, there is an exponential drop in conversions for every minute that you wait to call a potential student.

😱 Shockingly, less than 1% of companies attempt to call a lead within 5 minutes of a course enquiry.

Don't worry, the solution is simple: embrace automation!

Effective utilisation of automation can significantly enhance lead conversion rates.

Using automation correctly (and I mean correctly) can mean the difference between an enrolled student or losing that student to a company that follows up within 1 minute.

So, what are you waiting for? 🤔

Prioritise your follow up strategy and use automation effectively to enhance your lead conversion rates.

Watch as your student enrolments increase with prompt follow-up and effective communication.

Don't miss out on a chance to convert, act quickly and efficiently! 💪

🐰🌷 Happy Easter to our amazing Student Convert community! 🌷🐰

We hope this special day is filled with love, joy, and of course, plenty of chocolate eggs! 🍫🥚🐣

Above all, we hope you have a fantastic long weekend and return feeling rejuvenated.

Wishing you a blessed Easter from all of us at Student Convert.

Did you know that the key to increasing your conversion rate could be as simple as responding to a new student enquiry within two minutes? 🤯

It's true! According to studies, responding to an enquiry within two minutes can increase your conversion rate by a whopping 160%.

In today's fast-paced world, time is of the essence. ⏱️

If you're not responding to potential students within two minutes of them filling out a form on your website, you're not only losing out on potential conversions, but you're also losing them to your competitors.

Don't let your response time be the reason why you're missing out on potential students.

Make sure your team is equipped to respond to enquiries promptly and efficiently to ensure that you're giving yourself the best chance at converting those leads into paying students.

Here are some examples of how to respond to a new student enquiry within two minutes:

1. Automated Response: Set up an automated response that acknowledges the enquiry and lets the student know when they can expect a more detailed response. This shows that you value their enquiry and are working to get back to them as soon as possible.

2. Quick Call: If the enquiry includes a phone number, consider giving the student a quick call to introduce yourself and answer any initial questions they may have. This personal touch can help build trust and rapport with the student.

3. Prompt Email: Craft a quick but personalised email that addresses the student's enquiry and provides relevant information. Let them know that you are available to answer any additional questions they may have.

You don't need a Better Offer... You need a Stronger Message! 🙏

Here are 3 Tips for RTOs to craft a stronger message and better connect with your audience;

1️⃣ Highlight Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
As an RTO, it's important to identify what sets you apart from your competitors and clearly communicate it to your target audience. Whether it's the quality of your trainers, the flexibility of your training programs, or the industry connections you have, make sure to showcase your USP in your copy. This will help you differentiate yourself from other RTOs and make a strong impression on potential students.

2️⃣ Use Clear and Concise Language:
When writing copy for your RTO, it's important to use language that is easy to understand and avoids jargon or technical terms that may be confusing to your audience. Keep your sentences short and simple, and use bullet points and subheadings to break up your text and make it more scannable. This will make it easier for potential students to understand what you offer and why they should choose you.

3️⃣ Emphasise the Benefits:
When promoting your RTO, it's important to focus on the benefits that students will receive from your training programs, rather than just the features of your courses. For example, instead of simply listing the topics that will be covered in a particular course, highlight the skills and knowledge that students will gain and how this will help them in their careers. This will make your copy more compelling and show potential students how your RTO can help them achieve their goals.

🎉OMG Student Convert really works!🎉

We love receiving emails like this from our clients! 😍

Thank you to all of our clients who trust us to help them grow their RTOs.

Marketing for RTOs can be tough, that's why our CEO, Tracie, has spent the last 20 years creating a marketing formula that works specifically for the RTO niche.

Our tried and tested solutions have helped numerous RTOs overcome unique marketing challenges and achieve exceptional results.

We're honoured to have earned the trust of our clients and to help them grow their businesses.

Our team is dedicated to delivering outstanding service, and we're delighted to see our efforts making a real difference.

Looking for effective marketing strategies for your RTO? 💡

Here are five powerful marketing tips for RTOs recommended by our experienced CEO, Tracie:

#1 Future Pace Your Potential Student

Instead of trying to sell the course, share with your potential students what life will be like after they complete the course. This helps them to visualise their future and how your course can help them get there.

#2 Respond to Your Enquiries Promptly

Don't make potential students wait for days to hear back from you. Respond within two minutes to show that you value their enquiry and are dedicated to providing a good experience.

#3 Meet Your Potential Students Where They're At

Take the time to have a conversation with your potential students and understand why they're interested in the course. Get into their world, show that you understand them, and build a relationship with them.

#4 Follow Up Incessantly

It can take up to nine attempts at contact before someone responds, so don't give up after just one or two attempts. Keep following up until you get a response, and don't leave any potential enrolments on the table.

#5 Use a CRM

A good CRM can help you track your enquiries, follow up with potential students, and ultimately convert more enrolments. Make sure you're using a CRM to stay on top of your marketing efforts and maximise your ROI.

By implementing these five marketing tips, RTOs can improve their marketing strategies and ultimately attract more students.

Have you read “Rocket Fuel” yet?

Discovering "Rocket Fuel" by Gino Wickman & Mark C. Winters in 2023 has reframed my views on who I am in business.

It's been years since I've enjoyed a book this much and has me excited about continuing to build my business while at the same time helping my clients build their businesses.

Reading "Rocket Fuel" has shifted my thinking and helped me discover that I'm a "Visionary."

As a visionary, I've always pushed through and built businesses being both the visionary and the integrator, which made me tired and limited my growth.

Integrators are the people in a company who turn a visionary's ideas into a working reality, so to be both is hard.

I’m so grateful for having met Laura, who is the "Integrator" of Student Convert.

Some people find it hard to find their counterpart Integrator or Visionary, for me the universe conspired to bring Laura and myself together.

So, this post is both a big stack of gratefulness for Laura entering my life (Thank you, Laura) and as a suggestion to read the book if you haven't yet or re-read it if you have.

Drop a comment below if you’ve read it!

We're extremely proud of the amazing transformations and growth we've helped our clients achieve!

From boosting revenue to growing student enrolments, we take pride in the success of our clients.

Let's make 2023 the year we proudly showcase our accomplishments! Are you ready to join us? 💙
