What Our Clients Say About Us
The best way to learn about what we do is to read what our clients say about us. Here are some examples:
“Jim Webre was an integral member of the enrollment team that created extraordinary growth at Drexel over the past dozen years in both quantity and academic quality of our students.
"His expertise in financial aid leveraging gave us the confidence that our aid dollars were allocated to maximize our objectives. His forecasting ability and use of ‘what if' decision models allowed us to develop the right strategies to achieve the very ambitious enrollment goals outlined by the University's President and Board of Trustees.”
Joan T. McDonald, Vice President, Enrollment Management
Drexel University
"I had the recent pleasure of working with Jim over a three-year period. Jim’s approach to leveraging limited institutional dollar resources while maximizing net tuition revenue is unique in that it incorporates an indicator of a family’s willingness to attend the institution rather than just looking at financial ability.
"In my three-year partnership with Jim, my institution increased enrollments, yet kept the discount rate in check helping to maximize overall net tuition revenues.
"Jim understands the complex nature of the decision-making process that most families follow in weighing their educational options. He also understands the budgetary constraints under which many private institutions operate. It is this understanding of all the market factors involved that gives him the ability to fashion a model unique to each institution which compliments their strategic enrollment goals.
"Jim believes in his product and can provide a convincing argument to college administrators as to its value. As a consultant to a number of schools, Jim brings relevant knowledge to the table of what similar schools are experiencing, preventing clients from having to make strategic decisions in a vacuum."
Daniel A. Lupin
Director of Financial Aid
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
"I
have had the opportunity to observe Jim consult with four very different universities. In every situation, he dramatically improved both the enrollment and net-tuition results helping each institution to meet their specific objectives. He works well with both senior administrators and staff.
"Jim is very responsive to questions that come up during the course of the project. He does an outstanding job of explaining the leveraging process so that all parties are comfortable with the strategy ultimately adopted by the institution."
Gary L. Hamme
Vice Provost for Enrollment Management
Florida Institute of Technology
"Jim is a true professional. He has a quick turnaround time on files and provides tremendous insight and strategy about your applicants for financial aid and maximizing your net revenue.
"Jim has assisted us in growing our enrollment while keeping our financial aid budget in balance."
Bill Sliwa
Vice President for Enrollment Management
Lees-McRae College
"Because of his extensive background in enrollment management, Jim Webre understands the nuances of discounting and financial leveraging. He can visualize various scenarios and turn them into formulas your team can utilize to determine the impact of your strategic decisions before you've made them. He makes sure you and your team understand what you are doing before you sign off.
"Jim is very accessible. You can call him at any point in the cycle and he'll walk you through the process, peak times and down times. I have a lot of confidence in his process and how it specifically addresses our concerns."
