Solutions

From first impression to re-enrollment.

Motimatic supports every stage of the student journey from one hub: awareness, RFI generation, yield, retention and stop-out recovery. Each stage hands off to the next, so the students you reach become the RFIs you convert and the students you keep.

How we work each stage

Five stages. One playbook.

At every stage we pick the step students need to take, find why they stall there, build a GuidePost for that step and measure what moves. Each stage hands its students to the next.

Stage 1 of 5

Awareness

Get on the shortlist before the search starts.

The job

Most students build a shortlist before they ever fill out a form. We put your institution in front of students and families who look like your best enrollees, early enough to make that list.

Stage 2 of 5

RFI generation

Bring in RFIs that look like the students who enroll.

The job

More RFIs only help if they turn into students. We aim at prospects who resemble the students who enroll and stay, and every new RFI goes straight into your yield program.

Stage 3 of 5

Yield

Move RFIs to applications, and admits to day one.

The job

Yield is every step between a student raising a hand and showing up for class. We work each step with a message built for why students stall there: cost, confidence, belonging, logistics.

Stage 4 of 5

Retention

Keep continuing students registered term to term.

The job

Continuing students stall on small things: an advisor meeting, a registration window, a balance. We reach them before a missed step becomes a stop-out, with messages built on belonging and self-efficacy.

Stage 5 of 5

Stop-out recovery

Bring back students who left over something fixable.

The job

Students usually stop out over something fixable: a balance, an aid gap, a schedule. We reframe the return as a fresh start and make each step back small.
