Parent Phonathon Instructions
Directions for regular decision parent phonathon
Spring 2008
All calls should be completed by April 25, 2008 at the latest. This is important because students only have until the first couple of days in May to pay the $500 deposit that reserves their place in the class. Hopefully your phone call will get families excited about the possibility of enrolling at WPI. If you end up talking to the student in addition to the parent, that is fine! But parents are the priority here.
The calling sheet you received has the name of the student, not the parent's name. So when you call the
student’s home, you need to ask to speak with “Mr. or Mrs. __________.”
Feel free to follow the phone script. This will help the conversation flow. If you just ask if they have
any questions the typical response is "no."
Please offer to leave your phone number (or e mail address) with the parent if they think of additional
questions.
Once you have completed the phone call, please e-mail Michael Smith your response under the Parent Phone Call Evaluation tab on the menu, and highlight any information that families may have requested or your suggestions for us to follow up. Please use your Alumni Admissions training manual as a resource for any questions. You may also contact Michael Smith at 508-831-5286 or mpsmith@wpi.edu if you need further assistance or another training manual to be sent.
