Parents Expect Instant Replies — CRM Makes It Possible
Today 's parents don 't tolerate delays. They expect fast answers, real-time updates, and professional communication — not missed calls, unanswered WhatsApps, and delayed email replies. In a world where banks, hospitals, and e-commerce respond instantly, the old-school college response cycle — “we will get back to you” — simply isn 't acceptable anymore. Parents don 't wait. They move to the college that replies first. CRM systems make instant, structured, and reliable communication possible — and colleges without them lose enquiries before the first conversation even starts. Here 's why instant response isn 't a luxury anymore — it's survival.
