I’ve been working with language schools for a decade now. One question keeps popping up time and time again: “How do we find agents?”
The traditional way to find an educational agent is to attend an agent workshop or fair. For small or aspiring language schools however, the fees to attend such fairs are out of the question.
I’ve organized a free, webinar-style discussion on the topic and I’m inviting you to join me. This will be a frank and open discussion. It will be online, open to anyone who wants to join in:
Here are the event details:
Title: “Working with ESL and Educational Agents: Tips from the Pros – a webinar”
Format: Online, real-time, live discussion
Date: Thursday, October 14, 2010
Time: 08:00 – 09:00 Mountain Standard Time (Origin point: Calgary, Canada) – Please convert to your time zone.
Guiding questions for the session:
- How do ESL schools and programs find reputable agents?
- What are the alternatives for small schools without a sufficient budget to attend the large agent fairs and workshops?
- What are some pitfalls for language schools to avoid when working with agents?
- How can schools develop long-term relationships with agents
- Recommendations from the pros
Participants are invited to join at no cost. The point of this session is to provide information, education and an interactive discussion between language school directors and marketers and those working in the ESL / Educational agents field.
