Executive Summary: We have successfully deployed a new dynamic lead prioritization system within the New Inquiry workflows. By adjusting task urgency based on Lead Score (40+) and implementing logic to skip tasks for non-working numbers, we have already saved the Admissions team over 500 hours of manual work this cycle.
This update addresses several "technical debt" items, including a fix for leads converting via Meeting Schedulers who were not being set as "Marketing Contacts." We have also refined the "Time Between RFI" logic to ensure re-engaging leads start at the beginning of the funnel rather than skipping ahead if their last RFI was over 60 days ago.
Pro Tip: Watch the "Current Workflow Step" property. We updated this to be dynamic. If a lead skips call tasks due to a low lead score, this property will now accurately reflect their true position in the funnel rather than relying on a hard-coded static value.
Key Workflow Enhancements
- Lead Score Prioritization: Leads with a score under 40 now trigger a 1-hour delay between the initial RFI email and the first Admissions email. These are marked as lower priority to free up agents for hot leads.
- Data Hygiene & Bounces: We added a branch to check for valid emails before enrolling in the Prospecting Agent. Hard bounces (e.g., typos like "gamil.com" or "gnail.com") are now automatically excluded to protect our sender reputation.
- Non-Working Numbers: Communication preferences have been updated to automatically exclude phone numbers from call queues if the call outcome is set to "Non-Working Number."
- Survey Automation: The "Interview Complete" and "Qualified" surveys are now fully automated and live.
- Ghosted Emails: We are currently A/B testing new AI dynamic text tokens in the Ghosted Email sequence (Emails #1 and #8) to improve re-engagement rates.
