EFC allows you to concentrate on what you do best, by handling all aspects of tuition billing. Have the peace of mind of knowing that your billing will be handled exactly the way you want. EFC has come up with a whole system of management and marketing techniques that you will receive as one of our valued clients. These are guaranteed to make your school grow. These systems have been adopted uniformly across the world in the 30 years since Chairman Cokinos came up with them. They include “Seven and a Half Magic Questions,” “The Famous Extension Conference,” “The ABC Theory,” and “Half Moon Theory” to name just a few. Following the systems explained in publications such as “Take A Minute,” “EFC Management Guides,” and “EFC Marketing Guide” will ensure your school’s success.

 

Once you become an EFC client, you will be assigned a team, and within the team, a specific Account Executive (AE), who will monitor your account every day. Your AE will become an extension of your own team by:

  • 1) Re-selling Your Programs: Your AE will remind students why they enrolled in the first place. They will know the profile of your school     and will talk intimately about the values and benefits of the programs taught there

 

      2) Daily Monitoring of Electronic Accounts: Your AE will rapidly follow up on electronic declines, credit card declines and EFT rejections             (any electronic failures) on a daily basis.

 

      3) Creating a Supportive Relationship: Your AE also remind clients of upcoming events, pertinent articles in the Eagle Express and                   interviews in the Talk Radio, and how to utilize EFC’s software products, online services and support material.
