Overcoming Being New
“Wait, how many programs do we offer – low residency, on-campus, online, cohort?”
“I guess it’s ok to put prospects on hold when I don’t know the answer.”
“Is this really about the students or the numbers? I didn’t think this was a commission based job.”
“Will this student cause me to loose my job? Did I say something wrong?”
“I can help out with everything – choose me!”

Committed and Personalized Relationships
Take time to actively listen – you are a “COUNSELOR” after all.
It’s the little things that count!
Offer help – we are all in a bind at some point.
Don’t take it personally.
Be personal – add a “P.S.!”
