Need leads? Harmony handles higher ed lead generation for you!

As much as 76% of students start an inquiry by filling out a form on a school’s website, according to 2019 research by Ruffalo Noel Levitz - an organization focused on higher education enrollment. That same research showed that 40% of students dropped off of a form early because it asked for too much information. 

The leads that are generated directly from your website are some of the most valuable in comparison  to those that are purchased because, well, they’re free and you know they’re interested. 

Students are coming directly to your website to learn more about your institution and your programs - they might as well be knocking on your office door. So wouldn’t you want to make it as easy as possible for these prospective students to give you the information you need?

This is where Harmony comes in.

Our virtual assistant is able to gather the all-important lead information from your site visitors through an engaging and conversational exchange - something a basic chatbot just can’t do. This feels less daunting, less intrusive, and allows clear expectations to be set with the student about what will happen next. Interacting with your site visitors in this way makes them more willing to give additional information, too - more than if you just slapped a long form in their face.
