Your marketing works. Your reply time doesn't.

Every family answered in under 60 seconds.

The Enrollment Engine™ replies to every inquiry to your school or studio, books the visit, and confirms it. Nights, weekends, mid-class. Installed for you in 7 to 10 days. And when you are ready for more families, we bring them in too.

Call it. Hear what your families would hear.

90-day guarantee, or your monthly fee back.

The data

Reply speed decides who enrolls.

42 hrs
Average time a business takes to reply to an inquiry.

Less likely to reach a family at 30 minutes than at 5.

One family, two outcomes

A form comes in Tuesday at 8:47pm.

You were teaching. Then running a recital. Wednesday at 8:45am was the first minute you had.

They didn't choose the better program. They chose the one that answered.

That's not a marketing problem. That's a 90-second problem.

Why I built this

"I watched families choose the small local school that answered first."

I spent 20+ years leading enrollment for national programs. I had the brand names and the budgets, every resource a small school owner says they wish they had. And I still watched families choose the small local school that answered first.

Your size is the unfair advantage. You can answer faster than any chain. We make sure you do.

Two ways to work with Heroic

Stop the leak. Then fill the top.

Start with either. Most schools start with the Engine and add Growth Partner when the calendar has room.

The Engine

Answers every inquiry you already get. Most schools lose families here first, and never see it happen. $299 a month.

Growth Partner

Adds the families. We run your Facebook and Instagram ads, make the creative with you, and review your numbers together every month. Every ad lead lands in the Engine and gets answered in under a minute. $997 a month.

Install

Live in 7 to 10 days.

Real humans install it over three calls.

1
Tech setupWe connect your forms, calendar and phone line.
2
TrainingYou approve every reply in your school's voice.
3
Go-liveFirst inquiry answered in under 60 seconds.

What you don't do

You don't learn new software or migrate platforms.
You don't hire a marketing person.
You approve the messages. We handle the rest. Cancel anytime.

Guarantee

3 new families in 90 days, or your money back.

Measurably faster response times and at least 3 net-new families on your tour calendar, or we refund every monthly payment you've made, up to $897. No legal hoops.

Answer first, and you out-recruit every school in your market that doesn't.

Including the ones with better reputations, lower tuition and nicer facilities.

Fit

Built for small teams.

Music school, dance studio, martial arts academy, tutoring center or after-school program
Director or owner wearing six hats
Getting inquiries that aren't turning into tours
×You won't respond when the system flags an inquiry
×You want a vendor to run ads and never look at the numbers with you

The catch, stated plainly

What the Engine will not do.

It will not enroll a family for you. It gets them on the calendar. Your tour still has to be good.

It will not fix a program families do not want. If your reviews say the teaching is the problem, fix that first.

The first two weeks are the hardest. You will see inquiries you did not know you were getting, and some of them will be old. That is the point.

Pricing

No tiers. No upsells. Cancel anytime.

Month-to-month. Founders' pricing locked in for life.

The honest part

25 schools. Zero case studies yet.

We're new and building this with our first 25 partner schools. If you'd rather wait for published results, that's fair. You'll pay full retail later.

The math

Do the math on one family.

If your average family pays $150 a month and stays two years, one enrollment is worth $3,600. The Engine costs $3,588 a year.

One saved family covers it. Everything after that is margin you were already losing.

FAQ

The honest answers

Will families know it's automated?

The first reply sounds like your team, because you wrote it.

Will this replace my office staff?

No. Your team still handles tours and enrollment decisions.

What if it doesn't work?

The guarantee covers your monthly fee for 90 days.

Do you run ads?

Yes, on Growth Partner. Every ad lead lands in the Engine and is answered in under a minute, so the ad money is not wasted on a voicemail.

Be the school that answers first.

Next semester, some program in your market will reply to every family in under a minute. Families will notice. Make sure it's yours.

Fall inquiries are already coming in. Install takes 7 to 10 days.
