How a University Gain Sales And Marketing Insights with CRM Data
Client Challenge
A local university faced a familiar challenge: lots of data, but limited insights.
While their CRM (Freshsales Suite) contained valuable information on student inquiries, leads, and enrollments, leadership lacked a clear, unified view of:
- Which marketing campaigns were driving results.
- Where leads were dropping off in the enrollment journey.
- How to accurately forecast student intakes for upcoming semesters.
They needed more than raw data, they needed actionable intelligence to guide strategic decision-making at the executive level.
Nebworx’s Solution
At Nebworx, we specialize in transforming scattered data into clarity and confidence for decision-makers.
We designed and implemented a comprehensive Business Intelligence (BI) dashboard, bringing together data from Freshsales Suite CRM with the power of Skyvia, Google BigQuery, and Looker Studio.
The solution was tailored to the university’s exact needs, resulting in three key dashboards:
1. Momentum Dashboard
Tracks trends in student engagement and inquiries over time, helping marketing teams spot patterns early and double down on strategies that work.
2. Projection of Intake Dashboard
Provides a predictive view of future enrollments by blending historical data with current pipeline metrics, empowering leadership to plan resources, staffing, and budgets with confidence.
3. Conversion Rates Dashboard
Breaks down the student journey from first contact to enrollment, delivering granular insights into conversion bottlenecks and highlighting which campaigns and touchpoints drive success.
Impact & Results
With their BI dashboard in place, the university has:
- Gained Real-Time Insights: Leadership now has a live view of marketing effectiveness, sales pipeline health, and enrollment trends.
- Improved Forecasting: Predictive intake projections enable smarter planning and reduced guesswork.
- Optimized Marketing Spend: Data-driven insights revealed which campaigns delivered the highest ROI.
- Increased Student Intake: By aligning marketing and admissions strategies with real-time insights, the university strengthened recruitment outcomes.
