TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take our word for it
"The results have been pretty incredible. Usually our teams are skeptical of tech, but for Havana, different teams were fighting to be the first to get it."
Bryan Palmer, Chief Commercial Officer EMENA, Global University Systems
"Within 2 months, we got conversions. The AI got students who had abandoned their applications to start talking again. It ended up converting leads we had given up on."
Pia Horner, Assoc Director & Head of Student Recruitment, University of Europe for Applied Sciences
"We sometimes receive 1000s of leads from student fairs. It's hard for us to follow-up with all of them quickly, but Havana's AI increases our speed-to-lead dramatically, boosting conversion rates."
Director of Student Recruitment, Top-50 Business School
Frequently asked questions
How does Havana help increase out-of-state enrollment specifically?
Havana addresses the unique challenges of out-of-state recruitment through 24/7 engagement across time zones, ensuring immediate response regardless of when prospects inquire. The AI pre-qualifies non-resident applicants based on your specific requirements (academic background, financial readiness, program fit) and handles repetitive questions about application processes and deadlines. This approach is particularly effective for out-of-state recruitment because it overcomes geographical and time barriers while efficiently filtering for qualified prospects, allowing your human advisors to focus exclusively on building relationships with high-potential students from other states.
