We are officially launching the first article in the cycle! We know that sometimes the plethora of information related to sales, marketing, and school management can be confusing for you at best. No wonder, as the process is highly complex. We decided to use the summer holiday not only to sort it all out but also to break down for you anything you heard of but have no idea how to deal with.

As we are planning to share with you loads of knowledge and useful pieces of information, the first post will be introductory in nature. As you have already read on our fanpage (if not, you must catch up HERE) we are going to divide the cycle into four main modules. Each module is going to start with quite an extensive but general post, helping you to sort out the information related to a given issue. After the article starts a given module, there will be a miniseries called „Manager’s Guidebook.” Those will be highly specific articles describing step by step why it is worthwhile and how to implement in your school such tools as Google Analytics, or a fan page on Instagram.

Time for concrete stuff! Or what you can expect in the coming weeks.
