Here Are the Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- [4:55] Kris talks about the tech layoffs at companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Wayfair.
- [5:27] Tech is the leading force that signals to any savvy business owner what could be coming up.
- [7:16] Knowledge is power, and knowing that you may start finding it more challenging to stay fully enrolled is important information.
- [8:24] When people start getting laid off, the first things to go are child care and daycare.
Top Three Things + A Bonus to Know During this Time:
- You must have lead flow and lead data. You must be building your database of leads and know who those parents are, and as much data as you can gather.
- You need skilled people at enrollment. You need people that understand how to build rapport and trust and how to be friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.
- You need a CRM system. Two are ChildCareCRM and IntelliKid System.
- Bonus: You need retention strategies. It actually costs you a lot more time and money to go out and get new families than it does to retain the ones you’ve got.
