40 WAYS TO CRAFT BETTER RECRUITING STORIES
When it comes to telling a better story than other college volleyball programs you’re competing with, I’d recommend you read through this training article – it has helped a lot of coaches better define how to sell their program to both high school and transfer prospects, as well as communicate how they are better than the prospect’s other choices. If you want to dig deeper into the whole ‘story’ aspect of recruiting, and why it matters so much to recruits according to our research, click here for a list of our other research articles. This is an aspect of high-level recruiting that a lot of programs skip as they go through the process, and the result is nearly always less consistent, more erratic recruiting.
WHY YOU SHOULDN’T LET YOUR PROSPECT DELAY THEIR DECISION
Recruiting timelines – coupled with a fair but firm deadline, defined as far in advance as possible – is the #1 way to change the level of commitments you can get for your program. And yet, most coaches don’t implement this proven approach. This article features a real-time example of the this strategy playing out for a coach we work with as a client, and demonstrates the power of this approach.
WHEN SHOULD YOU STOP RECRUITING A PROSPECT?
Another aspect of successful recruiting that we just didn’t have time to get into is the all-important question asked by college coaches we work with on a regular basis, “how do I know when to stop recruiting a prospect we’ve spent a lot of time investing time and money in?” In this episode of our podcast, College Recruiting Weekly, we walk through the process we’ve seen work best – and, teach coaches how to customize it to their timeline and their program’s priorities.
How We Work With Volleyball Programs Around the Country
We partner one-on-one with nearly 800 college programs and coaching staffs around the country – secretly, behind the scenes – to research and design:
- the best way to recruit to their particular school.
- the right messaging that will get the maximum responses from their best recruits.
- the best approach down the stretch in the recruiting process to beat a competitor for a prospect you want.
- the smartest strategies to ensure you are focusing on the right recruits for your program, based on our proprietary research.
Most importantly, we work to design better messaging that gets higher response rates, engagement with their top prospects, and doing it all sooner than they were before. It’s how we apply the science and methodologies of our research into practical tools that make a huge difference for programs at all levels around the country.
