Finding Students: Waitlist Hunting

For when we have a new teacher or new teacher availabilities

Teacher AC

1. Find the new teacher contact in the Teacher AC & Teachworks
   1. Prioritise teachers who:
      1. Have been recently added,
      2. Have been engaged & easy to communicate with (i.e. they are eager to start teaching!)
      3. Have wide open availabilities that are current! (Check their teachworks profile for last updated availabilities)
2. Note two things:
   1. The postcodes they can teach in
   2. The instruments they teach

You will repeat the next stage of the process as many times as required until you search for all the contacts in the teacher’s available postcodes/teachable suburbs list.

Student AC – Update Email Template

1. Go to Automations > “Waitlist/NTIA Turned Potential – Email Campaign” > Edit
2. Select the “Send an email: Waitlist Auto Fill Email” on the pipeline, then select “Edit”
3. On the email editor form, update only the information in the yellow box with the following details:
   1. Update the image to the profile picture of the teacher:
      1. Profile image of teacher can be found in the contracts upload google form
      2. Upload image to the Canva template “Waitlist Teacher Bio Face”
      3. Download image from Canva as “.png” and select “transparent background”
      4. On AC email – select the placeholder image > in the side menu, select the “change image button”
      5. Upload the new teacher image
   2. Replace the teacher bio with new teacher bio text:
      1. Ensure it is written in first person
      2. Start with “Hey, I’m xxx!”
      3. Enter text about what they are studying/have studied, what instrument they teach, and that “I offer personalised xx lessons in the comfort of your home”
      4. Finally, add their availabilities in simple terms to the final paragraph: “I can come to your home for lessons on Monday & Tuesday evenings” for example.
      5. ( Can utilise Chat GPT for a quick bio )
   3. Finally, test the email campaign:
      1. Select the gear in the top right corner
      2. At the bottom of the “Campaign Settings” pop up box, enter your personal email to “Test your campaign”
      3. Preview the email on your mobile phone to ensure it is formatted correctly for phone emails.
      4. If it is formatted correctly (i.e. nothing looks out of place), move onto the next step.
   4. Select “Save and Exit” from the top right corner.
