The "Lead Overload" Problem
Overwhelmed by inquiries from casual browsers who never enroll, such as those clicking through from social media ads for beginner ESL courses without intent to commit
Struggling to identify motivated learners ready for immersive programs, like those seeking certification in professional German for business or intensive TEFL prep
Wasting admin hours chasing leads that don't align with course availability, such as prospects interested in weekend coding bootcamps during off-peak weekday slots
Missing cultural fit signals in international student prospects, like gauging adaptability to group-based immersion in Japanese language programs from diverse regions
Generic tools failing to account for seasonal enrollment peaks like summer intensives for youth leadership workshops or holiday crash courses in digital marketing
Low conversion from online inquiries due to poor prioritization of language proficiency levels, such as CEFR A1 inquiries mixed with advanced C1 prospects for executive coaching

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enrollment Growth Without the Guesswork
Higher Conversion Rates for Motivated Learners
Higher Conversion Rates for Motivated Learners: Imagine filtering out tire-kickers and zeroing in on students eager for progress, such as those downloading syllabi for your 12-week data analytics certification. Our custom scoring analyzes behaviors like repeated visits to your program page and quiz completions, predicting a 40% higher chance of enrollment within 30 days. Vocational schools report closing 25% more deals in the first quarter, turning inquiries into full-semester commitments with personalized follow-ups.
Streamlined Admin Workflows for Busy Staff
Streamlined Admin Workflows for Busy Staff: No more sifting through hundreds of emails during peak registration for fall semester intakes. The AI prioritizes leads by readiness—scoring high those who've completed a free trial lesson or placement assessment—freeing your coordinators to nurture real prospects. One community college saved 15 hours weekly on lead triage, reallocating time to personalized advising that boosts first-year student retention to 85% through targeted onboarding.
Scalable Insights for Seasonal Enrollment Spikes
Scalable Insights for Seasonal Enrollment Spikes: Training centers thrive on cycles—summer bootcamps for software development, back-to-school rushes for corporate soft skills workshops. Our system adapts, scoring leads against historical patterns like surging demand for evening online MBA prep classes. This foresight helped a mid-sized academy increase summer intakes by 30% over three months, ensuring cohorts fill without overstaffing low-demand periods like mid-year lulls.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in leads from our Instagram ads for beginner conversational Spanish, but half never even scheduled a placement test. Their custom scoring changed everything—we now focus on students showing real interest through syllabus downloads for our immersion programs, and our enrollment jumped 28% in the last quarter alone. It's like having an extra admissions officer who never sleeps, especially during our busy January intakes."
Maria Gonzalez
Admissions Director at Global Lingua Institute, a network of urban language academies serving 5,000+ adult learners annually
"I was skeptical about AI for our small French conversation school with just 200 students, but this system learned our data in weeks by analyzing inquiry forms for travel vs. professional goals. It flags leads based on career motivation queries, like those prepping for DELF certification, and we've cut follow-ups on dead-end inquiries by 60%. Enrollments are up 22% year-over-year, and my team's less stressed during the fall rush for evening classes."
David Chen
Program Coordinator at École Française Academy, a boutique school specializing in conversational French for expatriates and professionals
"Generic CRM tools couldn't handle our international mix—leads from Europe often inquire mid-semester, while Asia-based ones align with visa deadlines for our study-abroad tracks. AIQ's build scored them accurately by factoring in time zones and program timelines, prioritizing visa-urgent prospects for advanced Italian. We filled our cohort two weeks early this year, boosting revenue by 15% without extra marketing spend on targeted LinkedIn campaigns."
Elena Rossi
Enrollment Manager at Bella Lingua School, an international Italian immersion center with campuses in Rome and online global access

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM features?
Standard CRMs offer basic filters, like lead source or last contact date, but they don't predict conversion potential tailored to language schools. Our custom AI digs deeper, scoring based on subtle signals—such as a prospect's repeated views of your immersion program videos or queries about group dynamics. We've built it to learn from your past enrollments, so it knows a lead interested in business German is twice as likely to convert as a general 'learn a language' inquiry. For one school, this meant prioritizing 20% of leads that drove 60% of new revenue. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, and it's fully owned by you—no ongoing fees beyond maintenance.
What data do you need to build the scoring model?
We start with what you already have: past inquiry forms, email engagement logs, demo lesson sign-ups, and enrollment records from your student database. No need for massive datasets; even 6-12 months of history works to train the model on patterns like seasonal interest in travel-related courses. We ensure secure handling, anonymizing sensitive info like proficiency tests. If gaps exist, we can integrate public edtech benchmarks for languages like Spanish or Japanese. The result? A system that scores new leads in real-time, helping you focus on students whose motivations align with your curriculum strengths.
Can this work for a small language school with limited tech setup?
Absolutely— we've deployed for schools with just 20-50 students annually. The beauty of our custom build is its simplicity: it plugs into whatever you use, like Google Sheets for tracking or basic email tools, without requiring a fancy CRM. For a boutique Italian school, we started with their inquiry spreadsheet and added scoring that flagged high-intent leads based on cultural event RSVPs. Implementation is phased: week one for data audit, then iterative testing. Outcomes? They saw a 15% enrollment lift in three months, all while keeping their lean operation intact. It's scalable, starting small and growing with you.
How accurate is the lead scoring for diverse international prospects?
Our models achieve 75-85% accuracy in predicting enrollments, fine-tuned for the diversity in language schools—think time zones, cultural nuances, and varying urgency like job-related English needs. We incorporate factors like geographic origin and query language to score accordingly; a lead from Brazil eyeing Portuguese refreshers gets weighted differently than one from Japan for anime-inspired Japanese. Based on client data, this reduces false positives by 40%, meaning fewer wasted calls to uninterested parties. We refine accuracy quarterly with your feedback, ensuring it stays relevant as global trends shift, like post-pandemic remote learning surges.
What happens after the initial setup—do I need ongoing support?
Post-launch, your system runs autonomously but with built-in monitoring to keep scores sharp. We provide a 3-month optimization period, tweaking based on real leads—like adjusting weights for summer camp inquiries. After that, optional quarterly check-ins cost a fraction of the build, focusing on new data integration, such as from your virtual placement assessments. One French school used this to adapt to hybrid class demands, maintaining 82% prediction accuracy. You own the code, so no vendor lock-in; we train your team to make minor adjustments, empowering your school to evolve the tool independently.
Will this integrate with our existing student management software?
Yes, we specialize in seamless two-way integrations with popular edtech tools like Canvas, Moodle, or even custom LMS setups common in language schools. The scoring feeds directly into your system, auto-tagging leads as 'high-potential' for beginner cohorts or 'advanced-ready' for fluency programs. For a school using Blackbaud, we synced scores to their enrollment pipeline, cutting manual entry by 70%. Setup involves API connections we handle, with testing to ensure no disruptions during peak seasons. It's designed for your workflow, so leads flow from inquiry to class assignment without extra steps.
