How Pathmonk Helped Goethe Business School Achieve +70% Uplift in Leads
The business school’s master programs enhance the professional skills of participants and purposefully foster their personal development in the fields of finance as well as digital transformation and pharma management. Located on Goethe University’s Campus Westend in Frankfurt, a global hub for finance, culture, education, tourism, and transportation, GBS offers a friendly and welcoming environment.
Beyond the unique learning approach and high-end facilities, there are renowned faculty members working to educate and encourage professional and personal growth. Having so much to offer, means that the business school wants to gain more awareness and with that, applicants. However, the team was eager to qualify applicants further to ensure all leads were ready to become a part of the GBS Community while creating an engaging online experience for their prospects.
The Challenge: Effectively & Simply Qualify Leads on their Website
Closing sales and onboarding new clients are often viewed as the most important steps in any sales cycle. However, capturing a visitor, the right visitor during the awareness stage is equally vital to an overall successful closing deal. Connecting with and pursuing the most viable prospect for your service allows for success and a more streamlined process in securing business.
This is exactly what Goethe Business School wanted to improve. Looking to save time for both prospects and themselves, the team knew that lead qualification early in the buying stage was essential. As an international business school, they see applicants from all over the world. However, the international application process requires substantial administration efforts that are more challenging. As the international onboarding process deters potential candidates, the result is decreased and reaches under-qualified leads.
The Key Question: How to seamlessly integrate micro-experiences that can qualify applicants and increase leads?
The Manager of Digital Marketing and Communications, and the Recruiting and Admissions team at GBS cooperate frequently in order to cohesively improve the candidate experience on their website.
Lead qualification saves you time, energy, and ultimately your bottom line, encouraging an efficient, productive, and motivated onboarding team. By discovering those that do not meet certain criteria, potential prospects can be disqualified. This is ultimately saving all involved, a great deal of time. To improve recruiting processes and make substantial, effective, and seamless changes, GBS contacted our team at Pathmonk.
