FROM CONVERSATION TO APPLICATION
Do you have a team of counsellors ready to work online? Would you like to focus their attention only on qualified students so they can convert easier and faster?
There are over a thousand apps available for Android devices alone that facilitate communication through social media or instant messaging services. Connecting with prospective students where they are communicating (Facebook, Whatsapp, WeChat, and so on…) can be time-consuming.
You cannot cover them all, can you? Sofiri has successfully recruited students from around the world using its innovative technology platform for the past three years. With this experience, we have created a peer-to-peer platform called Instant Qualified Applicant Platform (IQAP) that uses bots and natural language AI so that your counsellors can work optimally to advise and help pre-qualified prospective students with their applications.
Sofiri is trusted by many including
ABOUT IQAP
In a fast-moving world, where time is limited, we have created an app capable of responding to prospective students any day, any time.
IQAP can be used as a custom mobile app available in iOS or Android, or as a web app available via a URL. This app works 24/7, speaks several languages, is very efficient at qualifying prospective students and never gets tired.
Respond instantaneously
58% of prospective international students prefer to use real-time chat at all stages of communication; 73% to make an enquiry. Our bot will respond instantaneously in order to build student engagement 24/7.
Start applications
IQAP helps agencies provide advice and formal quotations, using up to date international currencies at the click of the button. IQAP also helps create better engagement of prospective students by providing Gen-Z friendly guidance on specific documentation uploads that are required for their particular course application, as well as on how to complete their Statements of Purpose. IQAP offers automated prompts and reminders via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Email or SMS, encouraging prospective students to complete their applications. IQAP provides secure documentation uploads.
Qualify with a bot
IQAP uses artificial intelligence (AI) to pre-qualify prospective students (based on location or citizenship, language, intended level of study).
IQAP will then notify in real-time via WhatsApp, email and SMS your counsellors about prospective student enquiries, allowing them to respond immediately from their mobile phones if they choose to.
Redirect students
IQAP will automatically assign your prospective students to the most appropriate counsellor. It will use criteria like citizenship or language to choose who is the best counsellor for your prospective students to connect with.

What's in it for you
Instant Qualified Applicant Platform (IQAP)
Reach more students
The average email open rate should be between 15-25%. On the other hand, the open rate through messenger apps is around 98%. Imagine getting almost all of your potential students to take a look at what you are offering them. This is already creating a much larger pool for conversion to acceptance than e-mail could ever come close to.
Boost productivity
Boost you or your teams’ productivity, IQAP qualifies prospective students directly on their messenger apps so that you spend less time on unproductive conversations and instead focus on qualified prospective students. Provide your team with the tools for them to engage prospective students directly on their phones.
Use your brand
The IQAP platform will be hosted in a domain of your preference, e.g. engage.agencyx.com. It can also be installed in your existing Facebook Messenger account or we can create a complete new one, e.g. m.me/agencyxbot. At all times it is your brand that is facing prospective students.
Receive full support
Our online training materials and assistance guarantee that you and your agents will make the best of the IQAP platform. The Sofiri team will service your counsellors to boost their performance and, in consequence, improve their recruitment performance. There is also an option to use our marketing support campaign assistance to reach more aspiring students.
