With rising expectations and limited resources, schools, colleges, and training providers need smarter systems that support personalised experiences and streamline internal processes.

The path to enrolment is no longer linear. Prospective students and families engage with education providers across multiple channels - websites, social media, emails, events, and more, before deciding to enquire or apply. Understanding this journey is critical to creating meaningful touchpoints that guide them forward.
A CRM like HubSpot allows you to map and track each stage of this journey in one place, helping your team respond quickly and effectively to every interaction.
