Doubling online enrollment applications with Funnel

Concordia Lutheran College is a co-educational school for Kindergarten to Grade 12, set across three campuses in Toowoomba, Queensland. We talked to Bianca Coleborn, Director of Marketing and Enrollments, about Concordia’s goal to boost enrollments and streamline internal processes.

The challenge

When Bianca began her role in 2017, the school’s enrollment process was almost entirely manual and paper-based. The team were reliant on spreadsheets, notebooks, and legacy staff who didn’t have any written processes or strategies in place. With a goal to boost enrollments and streamline internal processes, Concordia implemented Digistorm Funnel to take its admissions process online and better nurture prospective families from enquiry to enrollment.

On choosing Funnel

Bianca says Digistorm Funnel has helped to improve overall collaboration within the school's admissions team, and has enabled an extra level of service to prospective families.

With a dedicated school CRM like Funnel, their team can tailor communications, identify those who have lost contact, and look for ways to enhance prospective families’ overall enrollment experience.

“To be honest, I don't know how a school can operate in today's society without having something like Funnel to keep track of enrollments, nurture your leads, and ensure that you're providing the best possible service.”
