Conduct personalized walk-ins with video counseling to convert better
Relying solely on offline walk-ins is not the best option in the long run. But, at the same time, online options like Zoom or Google Meet have not shown to be a good fit for student and parent counselling. We’ve replaced your offline walk-ins with customized online web based walk-ins with our in-built video counselling function as a solution to empower the admissions team with an easy-to-use feature. It enables you to have 1:1 discussions with kids in which you may chat, exchange videos, fill out forms, and gather admissions documents, increasing your chances of converting the student during the admissions process.
