A student fills out your inquiry form—and then? Silence. But don’t be fooled. That silence isn’t disinterest. It’s the start of a new funnel most schools never see.
In this episode, Lila exposes the blind spots in post-inquiry behavior that traditional CRMs fail to capture—and how you can surface hidden intent signals before the student disappears for good.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
— Why most students don’t vanish after inquiring—they just fall into your system’s blind spot
— How to track post-inquiry engagement that reveals real intent
— What to change in your outreach when students are hovering—but not converting
If your funnel doesn’t account for what happens after the form, it’s not a real funnel—it’s a tracking illusion.

Every admissions office wants to predict the future—how many students will apply, which marketing channels will convert, and what final enrollment numbers will look like. But most predictive models in admissions are deeply flawed—not because of bad math, but because they rely on outdated assumptions, static data, and a false sense of certainty.
In this episode, we break down: — Why traditional enrollment forecasts fail to predict real student behavior — How rigid forecasting locks schools into bad assumptions instead of adapting — What it takes to build an adaptive model that actually improves over time
If your enrollment predictions are still based on last year’s trends, you’re already behind the curve. The future of admissions forecasting isn’t about being right—it’s about building models that learn, adjust, and guide real-time strategy.
