Prospective Student

The Problem

LANGUAGE SCHOOLS
LOSE STUDENTS DAILY

You're losing enrollments every day because prospects can't reach you. International students call during your off-hours, inquiries go unanswered, and your team can't keep up with placement tests and trial class requests.

You Miss Inquiries When It Matters Most

A prospective student finds your school at 10 PM, calls to ask about your English program, and gets voicemail. By the time you return the call in the morning, they've already enrolled with a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,500/student
Lost per missed enrollment

Your Staff Is Drowning in Inquiries

While you're teaching a class, five more calls come in. Placement test requests, trial lesson bookings, course level questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Prospective students get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per language school

Trial Classes No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You reserve a spot in your beginner Spanish class, prepare materials, and the instructor waits. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty seat.
