Senior Leadership

People in senior leadership often want to know how things are going in a snapshot. HubSpot is able to send report round ups tailored to what they want to know on a recurring time and date that works for them. This can save the wider team time whilst providing the information that they need.

Admission Team

When people are responsible for the final stage of student recruitment, and making sure you have everything you need about the student, the last thing you want to be doing is asking the same questions that the learner has already answered. It wastes time for your team, and frustrates your learners. HubSpot gives your admissions team fully visible learner screens with the information your team need, where they need it.

HubSpot can allow your team to get full transparency of the learner journey.

Learningbank

HubSpot website reduces website management by 20 hours a month

In collaboration with Avidly, Learningbank chose to move their WordPress website to HubSpot CMS.

Newcastle University

We helped integrate complex systems to see how effective their marketing is

Traditional redbrick universities have lots of complex software that often doesn't link together. We helped Newcastle University to overcome this challenge and helped them drive change.

Newcastle University

This is how Newcastle University started to attract students using inbound marketing

“We can now do things in this academic year that we could only dream of previously.”

Frequently asked questions

Can HubSpot help to manage enrollment fees?

Your education establishment likely already has a piece of software you use to manage fees. HubSpot is capable of integrating with other tools. We can discuss together your specific software and offer tailored advice once we have that information. 

Will HubSpot work with our invoicing systems?

Yes, HubSpot can be tailored to meet your needs and we can make HubSpot communicate with many systems using its wide range of integrations. We’ve also seen custom SAP integrations built to communicate between software. We happy to talk about your specific needs in more detail.

Will HubSpot work with our internal systems?

Yes. We know you'll likely have a wide range of tools that you need to all work together. We can tailor HubSpot to make it 'speak' to and update based on the information it receives from the other tools. 

Can HubSpot be used to communicate with students at all stages of their journey communications?

HubSpot is fantastic at keeping track of lifecycle stages of a student and then allowing you to communicate with them based on where they're at in their journey. These lifecycle stages can be updated based on automation and based on information from other tools too (If you have the right integration in place)

We will work with you to make sure we have all this setup and meet your criteria for communications at each stage. 

How do you work out the student journey?

We believe you know your processes better than anyone. We work with you to get this information from you so that we can map out the system set-up you need.

This is a 2 way of conversation to get you the best results.  

What option is there for student support comms?

HubSpot's Service Hub offers many tools that can be used to improve the service students receive. This can be anything from Customer Portal, Live Chat and a Knowledge Base.

We'll help you work out which of these will help you.

Will HubSpot work out of the box or does it need to be tailored for Education?

HubSpot can work out of the box, but to truly see the benefit for an Education setting, then it needs to be tailored.
