Marketing Tip: Follow-up

Follow-up is a vital part of the enrollment building process. In fact, I have discovered that when I follow-up with parents who visit or call my Child Care Center the following happens:

  • That parent expresses appreciation for my phone call
  • The parent is inspired to visit my program again or schedule a Trial Day for his or her child
  • My chances of enrolling the child increases
  • I build rapport with the parent with friendly conversation

Many parents are very busy and they really do appreciate it when you take the extra step to call them back.

As you can see, follow-up is a vital part of building enrollment and sometimes taking the step to follow-up with the family, just may lead to a new enrollment.

*Never assume that if a parent does not call you back, that he or she is not interested in your program.

It’s time to create your follow-up Plan! You can start by simply planning to follow-up with a parent that has recently called or visited your program.

  An Inspirational Marketing Quote

In today’s market, more and more professional salespeople are practicing aggressive,
thorough follow-up methods that even a
few years ago would have been considered unnecessary on some of their marginal inquiries,
that is, people don’t represent a sale.
If your desire is to compete with the big boys and girls,
you must make follow-up an important part of your regular selling routine.

Do You Have Dreams of Expanding Your Child Care Business?

expansion

After five years of operating my Child Care Business from my home, I wanted something bigger. In fact, I knew that I was destined to do business on a larger scale.

So I decided read books on how to Operate a Child Care Center and I studied major childcare chains such as Kinder Care and Lapetite Academy.  In fact, my mind was on one thing in 2002….Expanding!

One day my mother and I were out shopping and we saw an empty building that was formerly a Child Care center.

I literally backed up on a very busy street to write down the phone number that was on the sign in front of the building.

To make a long story short…Within 6 months of signing a lease, I was preparing to move into my first Child Care Center.
