Building relationships

It’s a common rule of thumb that it can cost five times as much to attract a new customer as it does to keep an existing one.

 

One of the most valuable things you can do is look after your current contacts and strengthen relationships with people who have already shown an interest in your centre.

 

Anyone who has made contact should be viewed as a ‘warm prospect’. They are more likely to become learners in the future, so it makes good sense to collect some information when they first get in touch. You can then keep them informed and encourage them to take up learning at some point in the future.

 

You will have to find a way to collect data about your contacts, and build relationships.
