Recruiting
Recruiting is the single most important off-the-field activity for any athletic program. It is what separates a good season from a good program, and a good program from a dynasty. The ARMS team recognizes the pivotal importance of recruiting and has designed its software to help you maximize the impact of your outbound communications, the effectiveness of your search efforts, and your ability to capture and organize information.
ARMS will significantly improve your recruiting results by:
- Saving you time through a streamlined system of capturing player information. We significantly reduce your data entry burden and provide a measurable improvement over other recruiting aides.
- Providing you with professional web and email design through our in-house design pros. Our design team will work closely with you and your IT department to insure you putting together a consistent and effective brand image.
- Collecting and tracking player information including player and family contact info, athletic and academic info, contact logs and much more.
- Informing you on which recruits are most interested by letting you track who opens your emails, clicks on your schedule links, replies to you, or forwards your message to their friends.
- Tracking ALL email correspondence even the one on one emails with individual recruits that are sent and received from your own university email inbox with our seamless email integration.
- Eliminating mistakes by giving greater control and complete record of your outbound communications. Our system will help you:
- Track email correspondence from your own university email account in addition to your email blasts.
- eliminate embarrassing double emails that can occur with other software programs that allow duplicate records or when a contact belongs to two groups.
