MANY AVENUES FOR SUCCESS

HIGHER ED OPPORTUNITY

Solution for Success – How we make it work!

Price the program so clients pay an annual fee versus having separate line items for each service

Providing each line item can get confusing for the client and makes generating a high profit margin more difficult

Many campaigns take 1-2 phases to start to build momentum. Not getting annual buy-in gives the client the opportunity to drop the program before the momentum is created
