Founded in 2004 by industry legend Mario Tricoci, Tricoci University is one of the top cosmetology schools in the country with 16 campuses spread across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, with over 2000 students graduating every year.

The school prides itself on its people-centric approach to prepare the leading beauty professionals of tomorrow who have led to a huge network of top salons and spas looking to employ the graduates.

Challenges in Student Enrollment and Priorities

Tricoci University required an end-to-end system to manage their admissions and marketing process. The system had to capture all leads, manage the online application process, and be the one-stop tool for admissions
advisors to send emails, make phone calls, manage calendars and engage prospective students over the
entire enrollment cycle.

Few challenges faced by the university were:

The team was using antiquated systems for enrollment as a result of which it left them without data analysis.
There was no data-driven decision making thus making it hard for the team to make big improvements, fast, in their enrollment process.
The systems being used were all complex and non-intuitive for the admissions advisors, who were not tech-savvy.
They regularly lost enrollments because of the inability to react quickly when an inquiry popped up which reduced the student enrollment and conversion rate.
The Directors could not track Agent activities like – follow-ups, phone calls, emails – in real-time.

Solution provided by LeadSquared

LeadSquared became the one-stop solution to streamline the entire student enrollment and admissions process – increasing enrollment speed while delivering a wonderful experience for all applicants.

“Tricoci University is a “creative” organization and we do not look for employees necessarily who are
‘computer proficient.’ Thus, my main concern was the ease of use. LeadSquared’s Enrollment Management solution was really easy to use for employees who were more focused on non-technical matters.”
