Join us AT the British Boarding Schools Workshop

Join us at the British Boarding Schools Workshop to talk all things HubSpot and education marketing.

We are delighted to have been invited to attend the British Boarding School Workshop (BBSW) event that the British Boarding School Network (BBSN) host twice a year; we are super excited for the opportunity to meet with their membered schools!

This means that I, Chloe, Business Development Consultant at HubGem, will be attending the virtual event on 9th and 10th March 2022 to discuss all things CRM in marketing and admissions! 

Let's start with some questions you may have...

What is the British Boarding School Network (BBSN)? 

The BBS Network is the core partnership between schools and educational agents; its main aim is to connect and successfully place thousands of pupils into member schools each year. BBS Network offers all the contacts, knowledge and support that schools and agents need to effectively undertake their pupil recruitment and placement activities. 

What is the British Boarding School Network Event? 

Known as the ‘British Boarding Schools' Workshop (BBSW), these events are held twice annually and are brilliantly efficient and well-organised – we love them! 

BBSW is being held virtually again this year and will take place on 9th and 10th of March. At this event, there will be an opportunity to network and meet high-quality agents in an easy, efficient and cost-effective way (from your home or office!). The whole process of the event is seamless with easy online booking systems to schedule individual, 20-minute introductory meetings across the two-day event.

Growth is at the core of everything we do here at HubGem, so to be able to connect with so many like-minded organisations is a fantastic opportunity for us! I am really looking forward to chatting to BBS Network's member schools who book appointments with us to demonstrate just how fantastic HubSpot CRM is for education organisations! 

HubSpot CRM for British Boarding Schools 

As Diamond HubSpot partners, we can’t rave about HubSpot CRM enough! And we have an ever-growing library of positive feedback from independent schools that we work with who value our passion and experience! (We can help you set up your own HubSpot portal, and tailor it to your individual needs with our Onboarding service – more about that later…) 

You are definitely not alone when it comes to seeking solutions to your current disjointed or troublesome data processes and management strategies across marketing and admissions. Many schools share similar pain points and blockers with their admissions journeys, which much to their delight, HubSpot CRM can solve! 

The most stand out features and functions that HubSpot CRM can remedy are the following;  

  • A disjointed approach to marketing and admissions
  • Using multiple different systems (Mailchimp, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, RSadmissions...) 
  • Relying on a legacy MIS system to handle your communications 
  • Struggling to track conversions at every stage of your marketing funnel 
  • Spending lots of time producing reports that are outdated the second you share them 
  • Struggling to collaborate between teams 
  • Marketing content not converting 

    So... Why HubGem? 

    We are proud to be a multi-award winning, digital marketing agency specialising in helping education organisations grow by increasing their reach and improving their engagement. 

    As a team, we thrive off of the impact that HubSpot CRM has on education and non-profit organisations and businesses and the growth we see within this! We believe that communication is the heart of an organisation and we are passionate about the importance of effective communication and support that we can provide. 

    We are genuinely excited to find new ways that tech can make a difference, and bringing these ideas to businesses to drive them forward in an increasingly digital world, is something we find incredibly rewarding! 
     
    I find the most rewarding part of my role is helping marketing and admissions teams to find a better way of working together as a whole but more importantly with everyday life. Many of my colleagues come from previous roles within these departments in schools, and as a previous setting Manager and SENCo myself, we completely understand the common frustrations when looking for one, cohesive CRM system that enhances your customer’s experience. Being able to listen and speak directly with teams all over the world and provide them with a solution through a bespoke CRM system is a great feeling!

    • Capture all the required data points on prospective families  
    • Have one central inbox for enquiries coming in across email, messenger, live chat and online form submissions 
    • Automate record creation from form submission (no more inputting data manually into systems!) 
    • Seamless departmental collaboration via complete records of prospect communications and activity 
    • Automated prospect and internal communications based on actions taken (e.g Notify Registrar upon submission of the registration form and auto-send 'Thank you for your registration email') 
    • Visualise your admission pipeline 
    • Live enquiries and applications reports (that can be scheduled to auto-send to SLT!) 
    • And so much more...
