Rebuilding Your International Agent Network in 2025
With international student numbers fluctuating and competition rising, many education providers in Australia are:
- Struggling with dropped enrolments
- Over-relying on agents who have stopped producing
- Operating with reduced staff and budgets
Educli created this guide to help you rebuild your agent network using your current team and get results without new hires, travel, or guesswork.
Who is this for?
- Education Managers
- Admissions & Marketing Teams
- Compliance Officers
- Owners/Directors of ELICOS, VET, and HE institutions
Step 1: Focus on the right agents
Not all agents are created equal, and not all are still in the game.
How to identify productive agents:
- Review recent enrolments: When was the last one?
- Track application-to-enrolment conversion rate
- Beware of agents asking for high commissions but delivering little
Action Step: Use the Educli Agent Performance Dashboard to identify active agents with recent engagement.
Step 2: Know what agents really want in 2025
Agents are more selective than ever. Beyond commissions, they value:
- Clear and fast communication from providers
- Tools to track applications and commission
- Ongoing training and marketing support
Educli Feature Tip: Provide agents access to their dashboard with real-time application status, promotional materials, and training modules.
Step 3: Increase enrolments (regardless your prices and commission rates)
Students choose providers based on:
- Course quality & provider reputation
- Location, lifestyle, post-study options
- Ease of applying and speed of response
Action Steps:
- Highlight unique strengths (e.g. flexible schedules, language support, specialised courses)
- Respond to leads within 24 hours, automation helps
- Use Educli’s communication features to maintain consistent follow-up
Step 4: Track agents performance
How can you determine if your efforts are effective early on?
- Monitor lead engagement (clicks, downloads, replies)
- Track form completions and enquiries
- Log all agent communications centrally
Educli Feature Tip: Automated tracking and CRM logs let you see agent engagement levels before enrolments happen.
