Why Traditional Admissions Communication is Failing

We're kicking off a special summer training series for admissions leaders and their counselors, focusing on making sure they are equipped with the communication, marketing and selling skills necessary to be successful with their next class. To start, let's explore some of the roots of the current problem with the way many admissions professionals approach the process: They are failing to achieve the right mix of personalization, communication and focus in their recruiting message going out to their prospects. How does that get fixed?

The Sticker Price Problem in College Admissions

As we all know, the cost of attendance price on your college or university's website isn't the price most students pay when they become a student and get to campus. And that lack of clarity is beginning to cause real confusion for an already uncertain class of prospects, and their parents. So, what can - and should - be done? Today's podcast guest is Teege Metttille, a former HigherEd enrollment officer at several different campuses over many years, and who currently advises students and parents as they go through the college selection process. This dual experience has given him insights into some of the disconnects colleges and universities have accidentally created between themselves and the audience they hope to serve. On today's show, Dan Tudor talks with Teege Mettille about his observations and ideas that college leaders would be wise to listen to.
