01 Challenge

Brighton was not failing to reach people. The constraint was what came after.

“…The problem was volume — we couldn’t just dump more leads on the reps. We needed a way to qualify them first.”
Polly Zheng Director of Operations & Student Affairs, Brighton College
02 Solution

Brighton handed the first mile to Alebex — new lead → one thread across calls, texts and emails → real-time qualification → booked directly into an advisor’s calendar.

The first mile — Alebex. 24/7 coverage. Everything before the advisor. The advisor’s calendar is where it stops.

“Now they get a call within 60 seconds of filling in our forms.”

Polly Zheng Director of Operations & Student Affairs, Brighton College
06 Experience
“People often ask if our students can tell it’s a robot — and while we don’t shy away from letting them know, the fact is almost no one asks. It sounds seamless.”
Polly Zheng Director of Operations & Student Affairs, Brighton College
07 Trust

An educational institution is accountable for where its applicants’ data lives.
