Best Practices for Retention
From AFSWiki
- Reach out to students and parents by making Retention Calls.
- Invite students to local activities
- Be sure to make a comment in Global Link when you have been in touch with a student, by following these instructions: How to Record a Contact in a Student's Contact Log
- Invite students and parents to sign up for online info sessions
- Either the Team Sending Coordinator or the Chapter Sending Coordinator could send out a standard email letting the student know who their local contact is and volunteering to answer any questions that the student and his/her parents may have
- Continue to monitor your students in Global Link to see what activity has occurred and send personalized emails to show that you are there to support them
- Remind students that it's never too early to start fundraising (whether for tuition or spending money while abroad)
- If you are someone calling Sending leads, here are some Talking Points For Contacting Leads
- For staff, here's info on checking your Voice mail
