Who this is for
Study abroad consultancies in Nepal handling multiple countries and intakes, where counsellors are the constraint during the season. This sits within marketing and business automation.
What gets automated
- Enquiry qualification at the point of contact. Course, academic background and test status collected before a counsellor is involved, so the season is spent on students rather than on job seekers.
- Routing by country and counsellor. Enquiries sent to the counsellor who handles that destination, with the qualification answers attached.
- Document chasing. Transcripts, test scores, passports and financial documents tracked per student, with automatic reminders until each item arrives. This is where most counsellor time disappears.
- Intake nurture over months. A student enquiring in Baisakh for a September intake next year needs a sequence, not a phone call. Content by country and stage, sent on a schedule, so the relationship survives the wait.
- Seminar and event handling. Registration, reminders, attendance capture and follow-up for the sessions that still produce a large share of enrolments.
- Reporting by intake and country. Enquiries, qualified students, applications and enrolments, attributed back to the channel months earlier.
Handling the data carefully
Student files contain passports, financial statements and academic records. Automations reference documents rather than copying them, storage is access-controlled with a retention period, and the collection consent should be worded with your own adviser given the sensitivity of what you hold.
What I see most often
- No qualification, so counsellors spend the season on job seekers.
- Documents chased by memory, so applications miss deadlines.
- No nurture, so a student who enquired three months early is lost.
- One inbox for all countries, so routing happens by whoever picks up.
- Enrolments not attributed back to the enquiry, so the channel that worked is unknown.
