Enquiry-to-Enrolment Follow-Up

Q: Can the sales team still manually intervene if they want to contact a prospect early?

Yes. The automation handles routine follow-ups, but sales staff can view all prospects in the system and reach out manually at any time.

Q: How does the system know which prospects are hot leads?

The system tracks email opens, link clicks, and replies to build an engagement score. Prospects who show strong activity are flagged automatically and the team is notified instantly.

Q: What if a prospect enquires twice about different courses?

The system detects duplicate records by email or phone number and merges them into one prospect profile. All enquiries and interactions are preserved in the history so the sales team sees the full picture.

Q: Will existing prospect data in our spreadsheet be lost?

No. All existing records are migrated to the new system before automation starts.

Keeps every prospective student engaged from first enquiry to confirmed enrolment without manual chasing.

About This Automation

Enquiry-to-enrolment follow-up at language schools involves manually logging prospect details, sending welcome emails, scheduling reminders, and tracking engagement across multiple tools. Manual coordination causes inconsistent follow-ups, missed reminders, and delays in identifying hot leads.

Automation captures all enquiries in one system, deduplicates records instantly, sends personalised emails on schedule, and flags engaged prospects for immediate team action. The result is faster response times and consistent conversion tracking.

Key features:

Capture enquiries from email, web forms, and phone calls into a unified database

Automatically detect and merge duplicate prospect records

Send personalised welcome and follow-up emails on a fixed schedule

Track email opens, clicks, and replies to score prospect engagement

Escalate hot leads to the sales team in real time

Maintain an up-to-date pipeline view with prospect status and source

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Enquiry Receivedtrigger

Prospect submits enquiry via form, email, or phone call. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Log Enquiry

Enquiry details are captured and logged as a new contact with course interest, source, and timestamp.

3. Check for Duplicate Contact

Automation queries to detect if the prospect already exists. If a duplicate is found, the record is merged.

4. Send Welcome Email

Personalised welcome email with course details and next steps is sent automatically to the prospect.

5. Schedule Follow-Up Task

Follow-up task is created and scheduled for 3 days later, with a reminder sent to the assigned sales rep.

6. Send Follow-Up Email

After 3 days, a second email is sent automatically asking if the prospect has questions or is ready to book a trial.

7. Notify Team of Hot Leads

If the prospect opens the email or replies, a notification is sent to the sales team flagging the lead as hot and ready for outreach.
