For language schools
Every enquiry answered, tracked, enrolled.
Language schools do not have one admissions season, they have enquiries arriving all year. FirstEnroll turns the WhatsApp number you already use into a shared inbox, so a message at nine at night is not still sitting there at noon.
Connected to your existing number. No new number for parents to learn.
Why language schools specifically
Rolling intake means a slow reply is a lost enrolment
A school with one September intake can afford to answer on Monday. A language school running courses that start every few weeks cannot.
The parent is messaging three schools, not one
Short courses are easy to compare and easy to switch. Whoever replies first is usually the one who gets the visit, and the enquiry that waits until morning is often already spent.
Enquiries arrive where nobody is on duty
Evenings, weekends, and the week your admissions person is away. On a personal WhatsApp account, only the person holding that phone can see any of it.
Nobody can say how many enquiries there were
Without a pipeline, last month's enquiry count is a guess, and the ones that quietly went cold are invisible. You cannot improve a number you have never seen.
What it does
Built for the way admissions actually runs
Shared inbox
Every message where the whole front desk can see it
One conversation view for the school rather than one per phone. Filter by unassigned, assigned to you, or closed, and pick up a thread a colleague started without asking them what was said.
- Assign a conversation to a person
- Lead detail alongside the thread
- Nothing lives on one member of staff's handset
Pipeline
A pipeline you can actually see
Every enquiry has a stage, so the question is no longer whether anyone followed up but where each person got to. This is also the number you report on at the end of the month.
Automations
Follow-ups that happen whether or not anyone remembered
The second and third contact is where most enrolments are won and where a busy office quietly stops. Automated nudges keep going out during half term and while your admissions person is on leave.
Broadcasts
Tell everyone about the next course start
Message a segment of contacts about a new intake or a level that is about to run, from the number they already recognise.
Analytics
Enrolment numbers, not impressions
How many enquiries came in, how many became visits, how many enrolled. Useful for deciding whether the advertising is paying for itself.
Invoicing
Invoice the enrolment you just won
Course fees invoiced from the same place the enquiry came in, so a new student is not re-entered into a separate finance sheet.
Worth knowing before you ask
It needs a WhatsApp Business account, and that takes a few days
FirstEnroll runs on the WhatsApp Business API, which means your school has to be verified by WhatsApp before anything can go live. That is a real business verification with real paperwork, usually a few days rather than an afternoon, and it is not something we can shortcut. We do that setup with you rather than sending you a link and hoping. If you need to be live tomorrow, say so early and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.
$49 to $149 a month, priced per school
Founding School is $49 a month on a twelve-month lock, with direct access to the founder. Standard is $79 for three users. Growth is $149 for ten users, multi-branch, with support over WhatsApp. Fees are charged at cost.
FirstEnroll is also included in the First IMS Custom plan, if you want admissions and the whole school in one place.
