Every student enquiry has a timeline. Your follow-up system shouldn't depend on someone remembering it.
Shaz Method helps study-abroad and admissions teams systematically move student enquiries from first contact through counselling, application and enrolment.
A custom enquiry-to-close journey and proactive follow-up workflow built around how your study abroad & admissions business actually sells.

The Catch Problem
It's rarely a traffic problem. It's a catch problem.
You can run flawless ads and still lose the business — because of what happens, or doesn't, in the minutes after someone raises their hand. That's what speed to lead software is for. Most stacks never actually do it.
Response time exceeded 00:05:00
A lead who does not hear back in minutes is already calling the next name on the list. Contact in the first five minutes is a different sport from contact in the first hour.
Follow-up depends on human memory
Touch one is adrenaline. Touches three through seven are where deals actually close — and they vanish on a busy week without automated workflows.
No pipe between tools
Forms, WhatsApp, ads, and calendars sitting in separate corners. Attribution becomes a guess and prospects look like cold duplicates.
No monitoring process running
Without reporting, you cannot tell a slow month from a broken automation or untracked field.
STUDY ABROAD & ADMISSIONS SPECIFICS
Where Study Abroad & Admissions leads leak
These are the exact operational friction points where your prospects disengage — and where a structured system recovers them.
Large volumes, slow first response
Hundreds of enquiries a month arrive, but the first human reply often comes a day late — by which point the student has moved on.
Multiple counsellors, no continuity
A student speaks to one counsellor, then another, and the context — documents, preferences, deadlines — is lost in the handoff.
Inconsistent follow-up
Follow-up depends on which counsellor owns the file, so equally qualified applicants receive very different attention.
Students waiting on documents
An applicant stalls on paperwork and no one nudges them — the intake deadline passes and the lead is quietly lost.
Missed intake deadlines
Without a clear view of where each applicant sits, deadlines arrive before the application is ready.
Previous intake leads forgotten
Applicants from the last intake who weren't ready then are never revisited, even when the next intake makes them relevant again.
