Session Goals Show a variety of methods and uses for Student Service
§ Technical approaches to integration § Native capabilities for
• Proactive service • Internal management
§ How a student’s inquiry moves through the system and • Becomes part of reporting • Provides feedback • Contributes to better proactive service
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
Integration Philosophy Our approach: § Balance
Salesforce data needs
§ Keep SIS processes inside SIS
§ Find/prevent duplicates at data entry point
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
ERP Integration with Salesforce Prep data inside RDBMS (probably optional)
Interface with other systems (e.g., Clean Address); do more advanced prep logic; submit to Bulk API
For each record: new? match? unsure?
Very few dupes in org data!
If unsure, suspend and present to a person for review

Walk in Controller Integration Visitors follow a simple Flow to "sign in"
§ Case created, using internal unique ID if provided to link to Contact record

Salesforce Marketing Campaigns Email campaigns § Prospective students are done through Salesforce and postal
campaigns are also indicated in Salesforce campaigns § Applicants/admits are split between Banner and Salesforce
HTML templates are created through a home-grown CMS tool which generates opens and click-throughs
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
Outbound Call Campaigns � Call campaigns are handled
through Salesforce by use of reports for targets and Flow to easily record the call results
� Information is stored on the Campaign Member detail
� Through the flow we are also able to include a call script/talking points if needed
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
Communications Calendar � Previously, Campaigns were posted just to Chatter � Every user within EM has access to add communications
(email, postal, call campaigns, events) � Email campaigns are linked from the calendar to provide
users access to content and target count. � The calendar allows SSC to more efficiently manage staff
and information to assist with student inquiries
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
Salesforce Chatter § No instruction by high
user adoption § Used to provide daily
updates on processing times, communications, and processes and also for motivation
§ A method for users to reach out to CRM support

SSC Data Feedback Loop

Initial Student Contact § Phone calls are done
through an ACD phone system; manual case creation
§ Email-to-Case for all five SSC email addresses
§ Front counter sign in
§ All Cases: § Office, reasons and topics
assigned § A brief summary of the
conversation is added to the case
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
All Cases Have Email Follow-Up § Email templates have been set up so staff can email
information instead of waiting for students to write down instructions § This decreases service times by quickly dispersing information § Increases first call resolution
§ Templates are customizable so Specialists can add a personal touch, or answer additional questions
HIGHER EDUCATION SUMMIT ’13: ENGAGE. TRANSFORM. SUCCEED.
Case Data for Partner Offices § Month End Reports
show changes in case reason and contact volume § Allow partner offices
to see if our proactive strategies are having an affect on case volumes
§ Total cases since SSC opened 10/3/11 – 5/31/13: 243,979

Outbound call campaigns developed from case trends
After reviewing trends in case reasons and other data we added outbound call campaigns for: § Financial Aid
§ Wellness checks on our Fall 2012 Freshman to proactively ask if they have questions or need assistance
§ Students who have not turned in all of their verification documents § Students who have a rejected FAFSA
§ Admissions § Call students who have incomplete Admissions Applications

§ Changing divisional processes is stressful and involves hard work and dedication to the end goal of exceptional customer service
§ Each office involved needs to be willing to take a fresh look at "how things have always been done"
§ Partner offices need to ask questions and become curious about their data trends
§ Individuals need to commit to reviewing the data in a continuous improvement process mentality
§ Requires a change in mindset from reactive service to proactive service
§ The payoff is increased student satisfaction with a goal to higher retention rates (ROI)
Change is Hard Work

§ Accountability through transparency § Re-engineer back office processes to be visible to
students § Reduction in incoming case volume
§ Move to proactive student outreach § Use Salesforce to create more call campaigns/

engagement for new prospects
