What are prospective and current students saying about your Institute on social media? Do they like the enrolment process? How was the last open day? Can they find things online? Are you providing the right content? How do you find out about these things?

Your students make decisions based on user reviews and online discussions. Conversations that were once had in person now take place on Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and other social mediums. People are more informed, and they’re getting their information in new ways, from new sources.

The good news is that with Microsoft Social Engagement, you can now listen, analyse, and drive engagement all within Microsoft Dynamics CRM. You can jump in and engage with your customers, reaching them in ways never before possible. Doing this is not just a nice to have, but is a critical new process all education marketers need to harness or risk become obsolete.
