Leepfrog Technologies to Attend NACAC Conference

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) will host their 62^nd national conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The conference will run from October 5-7^th, 2006 with various times for guests to visit the exhibition hall.

Leepfrog Technologies will be at booth #435 with demonstrations of Instant Rapport, the Smartest IM on Earth! Instant Rapport allows multiple conversations to take place simultaneously, unlike telephone communications that must be handled one at a time. InstantRapport functions as traditional instant messengers; while solving the logistical issues that have stood in the way of effectively using instant messaging in a help-center setting. Instant Rapport allows universities and colleges to:

• BUILD RELATIONSHIPS with prospective students through automatically creating one point of contact, and intelligently pairing prospects and counselors based on shared information.
• WORK SMARTER by using pre-set responses to frequently asked questions and distributing the workload among several co-workers.
• KNOW (almost) EVERYTHING about your prospective and current students through instantly accessible visitor profiles and complete conversation histories.

Instant Messaging (IM) has become commonplace for students between the ages of 16-25 and is also popular with older generations. The University of Iowa has found success with the product. Kevin Zalanowski states, “The University of Iowa Undergraduate Admission Office is excited about teaming up with Leepfrog Technologies and its Instant Rapport product to open up a new realm of communication between its entire outreach staff and prospective students from both near and far.” He goes on to say, “We (The University of Iowa) should be a model for other colleges and universities to follow.”

Jama Christopherson from the University of South Dakota concurs, “Our staff is excited to use InstantRapport as a new means of communicating with prospective students not just in our immediate area but from around the world! It will be very helpful to us by connecting our campus with students we often would not have had contact with!”
