What is a qualified lead?

Matching a student (lead) to a college, university or post-secondary organization is vital to recruitment efforts. At GoToCollegeFairs, there are three methods for lead generation:
  1. A student visits a booth at an in-person fair and the rep scans their barcode (with the GTCF MobileScan App)
  2. A student visits a virtual booth during a virtual college fair
  3. A student’s Desired Attributes (chosen while registering) matches the College Matchmaking® profile created by a registered college, university, or post-secondary organization
*GoToCollegeFairs takes student data security and ethics very seriously and students are prompted to allow/disallow information sharing for all of the above. 

Any lead generated through these processes is a qualified lead and will yield usable, actionable student data for college follow up. 

Thank you for your valued participation in (Org Name) college fairs!
