Gary Peirce
Hopes & Dreams Owner

Hopes & Dreams Childcare Group, located in the Isle of Man, is a family owned and operated childcare company that has been providing care to young children since 1999. After expanding their business from one to six locations, Hopes & Dreams recognised that managing family enquiries with pen, paper, and spreadsheets was not effective and caused opportunities to fall through the cracks. 

Hopes & Dreams knew it was time to embrace technology and find CRM software that could help them follow up on new enquiries fast, use data to drive business decisions, and centralise family information in one place. They also wanted to make it easier for centre managers to prioritise leads and build relationships at the point of enquiry. After reviewing several software options, they chose LineLeader.

Building Relationships with the Family Hub 

Hopes & Dreams is a childcare provider that values strong relationships between family and centre. Before having LineLeader, it was difficult to build those relationships because enquiries were scattered across sticky notes and spreadsheets. “We’re in the business of building trust and that starts the moment an enquiring family contacts us,” said Gary Peirce, Hopes & Dreams Owner. “With LineLeader, we can easily capture family information when they enquire to begin building a strong relationship.” 

With LineLeader, all family information is captured in the software, making it easy to prioritise and communicate with enquiring families. In addition, tasks, communications, meetings, and history are all available from the family record. Centre managers get a full picture of each family along with what needs to happen to move them forward to enrolment. 

We recently had a new family enquire for care at our centre. They reached out to us along with another competitor. But the competitor never even responded to them, and it had been weeks. With LineLeader, we automatically responded to them immediately and that’s why they chose us as their care provider, not our competitor.

Improving Communications with Workflow Automation 

Hopes & Dreams was also looking for a solution to help them follow up with enquiries quickly. With LineLeader, Hopes & Dreams uses workflow automations to immediately follow up with enquiring families via email and text. LineLeader’s workflow automation feature is a collection of pre-scheduled emails and text messages that are triggered by a family’s action, like sending an enquiry, booking a viewing, completing a viewing, and more.  

Because these are automated, every enquiry is responded to quickly and nurtured through the enrolment journey without centre managers having to lift a finger. It’s all done for them! “We recently had a new family enquire for care at our centre. They reached out to us along with another competitor. But the competitor never even responded to them, and it had been weeks,” said Gary Peirce. “With LineLeader, we automatically responded to them immediately and that’s why they chose us as their care provider.” 

Making Smart Business Decisions with Reporting 

Before LineLeader, Hopes & Dreams had enquiries coming into six different settings, but no understanding of where those enquiries were sourced. With LineLeader, the ‘source of families’ report provides data on what sources are generating enquiries so they can invest more in the sources that are working. They can also report on booked viewings and lost opportunities and even which staff members are completing tasks and how quickly.  

Centre managers and corporate teams have a full overview of how families are progressing through each step of the enrolment journey. "We now run our business around LineLeader because it centralises all family enquiries across our six settings and gives us the data we need to run our business effectively,” said Gary Peirce. “With LineLeader, we can view occupancy levels to maximise revenue, move families through the steps to enrolment, and bring in more business.”
