Enquiry-to-Enrolment Follow-Up

Q: Can the automation handle different course types with different follow-up sequences?

Yes, the system can be configured to send different follow-up templates and sequences based on the course type or program the prospect enquired about.

Q: How does the automation detect duplicate prospects?

The system matches new enquiries against existing records using email address, phone number, and name, and flags or merges duplicates to keep your database clean.

Q: What happens if a prospect replies to a follow-up email?

The reply is logged automatically, the prospect status is updated, and your sales team is notified immediately so they can engage with the interested lead.

Q: Can your team still customize follow-up emails for specific prospects?

The automation uses templated emails for consistency and speed, but your team can review and manually customize messages for high-value or complex enquiries before sending.

Keep every prospective student moving toward enrolment with timely, personalised follow-up that runs without manual intervention.

About This Automation

Enquiry-to-enrolment follow-up is the manual process of capturing course enquiries, sending personalised follow-up emails, and tracking prospect responses. Manual follow-up is slow, inconsistent, and prone to delays that lose prospects to competing training providers.

Automation captures enquiries instantly, sends templated follow-ups on schedule, monitors responses, and alerts the team to hot leads. The result is faster conversion, consistent messaging, and no lost prospects.

Key features:

Capture enquiries from email and web forms into a unified contact database

Check for duplicate prospects and merge existing records automatically

Send personalised follow-up emails on a scheduled sequence

Monitor email opens and replies without manual checking

Escalate interested prospects to your sales team instantly

Track all prospect interactions and responses in one place

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Enquiry Receivedtrigger

Automation is triggered when a prospect submits an enquiry form or sends an initial contact request via email or web form.

2. Log Prospect

Prospect details are automatically captured and a new contact record is created with enquiry date, course interest, and source.

3. Check for Duplicates

Automation queries to confirm the prospect email is not already in the system. If a duplicate is found, the new enquiry is merged into the existing record.

4. Send Templated Follow-Up Email

An automated email is sent immediately with course details, pricing, and a call-to-action link. The email is logged as an activity.

5. Schedule Second Follow-Up

A second follow-up email is automatically scheduled to send 3 days later if the prospect has not replied or opened the first email.

6. Flag Hot Leads

When a prospect replies with interest or books a call, a notification is sent to the sales team channel with prospect name, course, and next step.

7. Update Prospect Status

Prospect status is automatically updated based on email opens, clicks, and replies, marking them as interested, not interested, or enrolled.
