One of the biggest challenges IEPs, K-12 and HE institutions have been facing in China is the quality of educational agencies they meet and work with.
With over 1,000 educational agencies in China (excluding branches), we understand it can be challenging to find and partner with agencies who are professional, reliable and provide quality guidance to students.
That is even more important in current market situation, when provincial licensing for Chinese educational agencies was abolished earlier this year.
Leading IEPs, K-12 and HE institutions have undertaken various recruitment trips to China, and are frequently faced with common tough decisions:
-
Which city should I visit?
-
Which agency should I meet?
-
How to find these agencies?
-
How should my approach differ in Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities?
Many of these decisions are made based on rather limited market intelligence.
As a leader in market intelligence we were approached by a number of prominent IEPs, K-12 and HE institutions to consult on how best to approach the Chinese market. Our Chinese based experts assessed their needs and compared it against the performance profile of hundreds of agencies that our team regularly talks to and monitors. As a result we provided strategic advice on which cities and agencies to visit, as well as which representatives would be best to co-operate with.
We are providing a guide of how to strategically approach the market. To receive this market knowledge sample please see below:
We can tailor the approach to the market depending upon your needs, and the partners that you would need to reach. For more information please feel free to contact us directly.
