The Back-to-School Enrollment Surge
August and September are your busiest months for new inquiries. Parents are setting their children's extracurricular schedules and want to lock in a recurring time slot. These callers are often in a hurry and will call three or four teachers in a row. If you are teaching a lesson and let the call go to voicemail, they likely will not leave a message and will simply book a trial lesson with the first teacher who picks up. This is where SkipCalls can save your business by answering and booking those trials while you are focused on your students.
