“It creates time and efficiency that allows me to care for my people and give them a tool to care better for the students that are planning and wanting to come to us. The win will be worth it.”

Win/Winfaster response to transfer students, better-quality leads for the team

The challenge

A stretched team, two compounding problems.

Transfer students submitted their information into what Dr. Joseph calls a “blind” process, details going in with no fast path to an answer.

A small staff, already mid-CRM-transition, had no way to filter for the students most likely to enroll. The result: slow response times for students and wasted effort chasing leads that never converted.

The solution

Both challenges, solved at once.

DegreeSight Inbound solved both challenges at once: students get a preliminary answer immediately, and the leads reaching Bethel’s team are higher quality, freeing a small staff to focus on students most likely to enroll.

When a J1 SIS integration snag surfaced mid-implementation, DegreeSight resolved it directly with J1, keeping the project on track without adding to the team’s load.

2problems solved by one platform

The results

A chief academic officer’s perspective.

With 20 years in higher education and a long list of CRM and SIS implementations behind him, what Dr. Joseph calls “tours of duty”, he arrived at this one expecting the usual friction. What he found was different: a team that came to meet Bethel where they were, pivoted when an unexpected integration snag appeared, and remained responsive and caring throughout. His advice to peers is simple: give it a shot.
