For Private Schools
Incoming Call...
Parent
"Hi, I'm looking for 5th grade enrollment. Do you have any spots available?"
AI Receptionist
"Yes! We have spots in our 5th grade class—tuition is $18,500/year. Would you like to schedule a campus tour?"
✓ Tour Booked • 5th Grade
You're losing enrollment opportunities while your admissions team is stretched thin. Parents call after hours, tours get missed, and your staff can't keep up with inquiries during peak season.
A parent researches schools at 9 PM, calls to schedule a tour, and gets voicemail. By the time your admissions office opens in the morning, they've already booked tours at three competing schools who answered immediately.
While you're giving a campus tour, five more parents call with questions. Enrollment inquiries, tuition questions, program details, event RSVPs—you can't be everywhere at once. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose families to schools that respond faster.
You block off time, prepare materials, and coordinate staff. The family doesn't show. You send one follow-up email that goes unanswered. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another spot that stays empty.
