The Enrollment Insights podcast is a 20-40 minute conversation released twice monthly. Most enrollment management and marketing podcasts interview leaders and we hear about what they’ve done. I’m more interested with novel solutions to problems, or ways to make processes better for students. I’m curious about the questions that spark internal reflection and end up changing entire processes. Conversations will include those in and out of enrollment management and marketing as well as with those outside of education entirely.

To summarize: I want to talk about the tangents: ideas that seem outside of current feasibility and spark new ways of looking at data and strategy development.

    Using Multiple Attribution Models to Paint the Full Picture [Slate Stage]

    This is a podcast version of a Slate Dive Deeper presentation on using attribution models.

    There are five primary attribution models when it comes to evaluating your inquiry and prospects. (Source/Linear, First Source, First Source Inquiry, Last Source, and Unique Source) You’ll hear more about the strengths and weaknesses of each, when they might be most useful, and why you’ll get the most value when you layer them. Much like painting, you’ll need more than one color to create a work of art.
