These were also the challenges that Ms. N.T. Ha, a passionate online English teacher, once faced. However, instead of giving up, she found a way to overcome those obstacles. Below are three valuable lessons Ms. Ha learned on her journey to acquiring her first 100 students, thanks to the support of the GTG CRM software platform.

Common mistakes and clever solutions

Ms. N.T. Hà realized that success doesn't come from luck, but from correctly identifying the problem and finding the right solution. Here's how she tackled each obstacle:

Lesson 1: Optimizing Business Processes with AI and Automation

Ms. N.T. Hà once believed that the key to success was working hard. Every day, she stayed up late preparing lesson plans, writing posts manually, and responding to every customer message. But then, exhaustion came faster than success. New students were few, but taking care of them left her with insufficient energy to teach.

She realized that true strength lies in working smart, not in doing everything alone.

GTG CRM helped her change this mindset. Instead of spending hours thinking "what to write today," she used GTG CRM's AI Content feature to generate a series of compelling ideas and articles in a snap. Then, she used the automatic posting schedule tool for the entire month. This not only saved her hours of work but also ensured that her media channels were always active and effective.

Lesson 2: Building a personal brand with a professional landing page.

Like many other small online businesses, Ms. Ha used to rely solely on her Facebook Fanpage. She promoted her business by posting content, stories, running ads, and interacting on the platform. However, she quickly realized the risks when the algorithm changed, her posts lost reach, and her brand appeared unprofessional.

She learned an important lesson: You need to build your own "home" on the internet, where you are completely in control.

GTG CRM helped her make that a reality. She personally created a professional landing page from pre-made templates. This "home" is not only visually appealing and uses AI to generate SEO-optimized content, but it also integrates a registration form and live chat. Thanks to this, she has a place to introduce her courses in a structured way, and all the information of potential students is compiled in the CRM dashboard, ensuring no one is missed.

Lesson 3: Professional Customer Care with a CRM System

Initially, Ms. Ha focused solely on persuading potential students to enroll in her courses. She tried to close deals as quickly as possible, but lacked a specific process for tracking and nurturing them. As a result, customer information became disorganized, and many opportunities were missed.

She realized that customer care is key to sustainable and long-term revenue.

All student information from landing pages or live chats is automatically transferred to a single location on GTG's centralized CRM system. Now, she can easily categorize students, track their status, and build long-term relationships with them.

In addition, to make customer care easier and less time-consuming, she chose GTG CRM's Automation Workflow feature, which helps her send automated emails based on customer behavior. For example, when a customer registers for a course, a thank-you email with necessary information is automatically sent.
