Benefits at a Glance

Whether you are a single counselor or mutli-counselors, CounselMore's online college planning software can help

Streamlined Operations: Simplify your workflow, enabling you to manage more clients efficiently, without compromising on quality or attention to detail. Pay attention to the Senior grade, while the Junior grade assignments turn on automatically. Send Assignment emails to students/parents separately, follow up with automated texting.

Time Optimization: By automating administrative tasks like Google Drive sharing, client information collection and time management in one platform, Counselmore frees up your time to focus on essential aspects of your programming that make your services unique.

Enhanced Client Experience: The platform enables better communication through dynamic parent participation in many steps like college search but keeps them locked out of essays until ready. Leading to improved client satisfaction, retention and referral.

Data-Driven Insights: College planners seldom look back after offers come in but why?! There are valuable insights for you and CounselMore provides them. Access to analytical data reports and performance metrics empowers you and your students to make informed decisions and optimize your application strategies.

Scalability: As you grow, you'll hire, Counselmore adapts to your needs. There's flexibility throughout the year. Even during application season, add licenses when more counselors are needed and remove them when not. Only pay for the days you use. Ask about our support for nonprofit agencies!

Newsletters & Broadcast Messaging: Keep everyone up to date with Counselmore's unique communication tools. Increase parent awareness of process and timeline by maintaining a regular newsletter.
