How to Schedule 100’s of Students in Your School [7FMS Ep. #50]

by Daniel Patterson
 

Scheduling is one of those natural barriers to growth that every school must solve.

Until you implement an efficient scheduling solution, you will waste hundreds of hours per year on scheduling. 

Moreover… You will frustrate your customers, lose good teachers, and struggle to break the 200 – 300 student barrier.

So… How do you schedule 500+ students per week with as few headaches as possible?

We invited Jessica Tolliver to come on the podcast. She is the Director of Families and Communication at Brooklyn Music Factory.

On this episode, she shares:

  • What scheduling systems and softwares did NOT work for BMF
  • How she helped design BMF’s current scheduling system
  • The three major ways that schools handle scheduling (and which one is the best)
  • The software solution they implemented that massively reduced her scheduling time
  • Practical tips and wisdom that you can use in your school

This is a MUST-LISTEN episode if you still spend hours each week going back and forth with families about scheduling and makeup lessons.
