School CRM

School CRM —from first enquiry to enrolment

Every course enquiry, trial lesson and conversation with a parent or student goes into a single process. Your team sees each contact's current stage, who is responsible, the activity history and the next step. With tasks and reminders, no enquiry goes unanswered and no enrolment gets lost between phone calls, forms and messages.

What is a school CRM?

A school CRM is a system for managing contacts with people interested in your courses, together with enquiries, enrolment forms, tasks, trial lessons and the whole student recruitment process.

In eSkul all of this is connected to your courses, groups, timetable, contracts, payments and communication. That means a contact doesn't stop at a form - it can move smoothly into a course enrolment.

A CRM for every kind of school

eSkul works for language schools, music schools, dance schools, sports academies, tutoring centres and other private education providers. In each case it organises contacts, enrolments, tasks, communication and ongoing student support.

A school CRM instead of spreadsheets and scattered messages

Enquiries arrive through forms, phone calls, email and social media. In a spreadsheet it is easy to lose the contact history, a call-back date or the outcome of a trial lesson. eSkul CRM brings all of this into one process - you can see who got in touch, what they are interested in, who is responsible and what the next step should be.

Unanswered enquiries

An enquiry sits in the inbox until someone happens to notice it.

No record of the next contact

Nobody knows who was supposed to call the candidate back, or when.

Enquiries spread across inboxes

Email, phone, forms and social media - every channel on its own.

No conversation history

The next person on the team has no idea what was already agreed with the candidate.

No overview of trial lessons

It is unclear which lessons took place and how they went.

Accepted but never enrolled

The candidate has chosen a course, but the enrolment still has not been created.

Not a contact list. A decision cockpit.

A CRM that shows what needs action right now

The CRM module takes your school from the first course enquiry, through the trial lesson, all the way to enrolment and re-enrolment for the next term. Instead of scrolling through records, your team immediately sees which enquiries, tasks and trial lessons need a response - and each tab is built for getting a specific job done.

Needs action - your student recruitment cockpit

See what needs action in your recruitment process right now

Instead of browsing the whole contact database, your team immediately sees what actually moves the process forward: new enquiries without a first contact, today's and overdue tasks, trial lessons today and in the coming days, and accepted contacts still waiting for an enrolment. A simple pipeline - from enquiry, through the trial lesson, to the decision and enrolment - shows how many contacts are at each step.

Contacts - your database of candidates and students

Every prospective student in one place

Contacts is the central list of every candidate, parent, adult student and company involved in the enquiry process. Each record has a pipeline stage, an owner, the enquiry source, course interest, contact history and the next task and trial lesson - it is your CRM team's main workspace, and one click takes you to a course enrolment.

Tasks - keep track of your team's follow-ups

Know exactly who to contact today

Tasks are the calls, emails, follow-ups and decisions your team needs to handle. The Today, Upcoming, Overdue, No due date and My tasks views let everyone work from their own list, while the owner keeps an eye on the whole team's workload. Every task links straight to the contact and makes the next step clear, so no enquiry goes unanswered.

Trial lessons - from interest to decision

Dates, attendees and decisions after trial lessons

The Trial lessons module covers the whole cycle: scheduling the date, teacher, room and class format, confirming, rescheduling or cancelling, and after the class - marking the lesson as held and recording the outcome. Lessons that have already taken place but have no outcome recorded need special attention, so eSkul clearly flags them and no candidate's decision is left hanging.

Enrolments start on your website

In the Online forms tab you build the form fields and steps, publish it and share the link or embed it on your school website. Every submission maps straight into the CRM - it automatically creates or updates a contact and can instantly create a task for your team. The form is part of the same process as the CRM, not a separate system alongside it.

A CRM for student recruitment

Guide candidates through the whole recruitment process - from the first enquiry, through contact and a trial lesson, to course enrolment. Every contact has a current status, an owner, your team's activity history and a scheduled next step.

A school CRM system that connects recruitment with day-to-day work

eSkul brings together your contact database, enrolment forms, tasks, trial lessons, groups, payments and communication. Your school doesn't need separate tools for candidates and students - school CRM software and enrolment management work as one consistent student recruitment system.

What does eSkul CRM replace?

Your front office and admissions team get one process instead of several scattered tools.

How is a school CRM different from a regular CRM?

A regular CRM stores contacts and sales opportunities. A school CRM also has to handle courses, groups, trial lessons, the timetable, teachers, contracts, payments and communication with students.

In eSkul a contact doesn't disappear from the CRM after enrolment. It moves into the same system where your school runs its classes, payments, documents and communication with students.

Five-step process

From enquiry to enrolment in five steps

1

Form or phone call

A candidate gets in touch through a form, by phone or by email.

2

Contact created automatically

The enquiry goes straight into the CRM contact database.

3

A task for the front office

The team knows who should contact the candidate, and when.

4

Trial lesson and outcome

After the class, the outcome is saved straight to the contact.

5

Course enrolment

The student is added to a group, the timetable and payments - with no retyping.

You can support the whole process with task and workflow automation, and track how well your recruitment is working in the Reports module.

Frequently asked questions

Is eSkul CRM right for your school?

Straight answers about the recruitment process, forms and the cost of the eSkul CRM.

What is the CRM module in eSkul?+

The CRM is the cockpit for your student recruitment process. It shows what needs your team's attention right now: new enquiries, tasks, trial lessons and contacts waiting for a decision or enrolment - from the first sign of interest to signing up for a course.

What does the process from enquiry to enrolment look like in eSkul CRM?+

Every contact moves through a simple pipeline: New, To contact, Contacted, Trial lesson, Awaiting decision, Accepted, Closed. At every stage you can see who is responsible, the activity history and the next step, so no enquiry is ever left unattended.

Can I collect enquiries through a form on my school's website?+

Yes. In the Online forms module you build an enquiry form, publish it under its own link and embed it on your school website. Every submission automatically creates or updates a contact in the CRM, with no manual data entry.

What happens to a contact after a trial lesson?+

The trial lesson is part of the same process as the CRM. After the class you mark the lesson as completed and record the outcome - the contact moves to the “Awaiting decision” stage and from there straight to creating a course enrolment, without switching between systems.

How much does the eSkul CRM cost?+

The CRM is part of the full eSkul system for €29.99 (US$29.99) per month per location, with no limit on contacts, tasks or forms. You can try every feature free for 14 days, without a credit card.
