You already buy inquiries. Most of them are not exclusive.
Adult and graduate desks still fund paid search, multi-sold PPL, and shrinking test-taker lists while cost per inquiry and cost per start climb. Many of the best prospects never inquire until they apply, so the CRM only sees late-stage intent. Ken builds exclusive working-professional lists for your program criteria, shows why each person fits, and writes the first touch - so mid-career professionals who never entered your inquiry queue still get a short, program-relevant note.

Signals that fill seats, not just inquiry queues.
Enrollment buyers are measured on starts and yield. Ken watches real engagement and scores program fit before anything leaves the approval queue.
Multi-click intent on program pages and enrollment briefs
A mid-career professional who clicks your program page or info session link more than once is showing real interest, not a courtesy skim. Ken flags it and can fire the next touch or route them to a counselor before the window closes.
Re-engage quiet campus buyers
A prospect who engaged then went quiet gets picked back up. Ken watches for clicks that stop after a program or application CTA and re-approaches with a different angle - or drops them - before the thread dies mid-cycle.
Sort program enrollment replies the moment they land
Every reply is classified when it lands - interested, wrong program, already enrolled, or not now - so true enrollment conversations reach your team and noise does not sit in the same counselor pile.
Qualified to your program
Score every person against criteria a dropdown cannot express - engineering managers, 5-15 years experience, in-region, bachelor's listed. Ken reads each LinkedIn profile and public site so multi-sold PPL junk and undergrad-shaped contacts never enter the sequence.
Built for adult and professional program seats, not high-school search.
Reasons on every prospect - not a recycled name-buy.
Senior engineering manager, 11 years, Chicago metro, bachelor's listed, no graduate credential listed. Directors of finance in Texas with 8-15 years experience. Ken scores each person against your program ICP from LinkedIn and website data only, and shows why they qualify before you approve a send. Degree absence is hedged as listed vs not listed - never treated as absolute fact.
A short program note - not another shared-list blast.
Generic outreach from the same GRE and PPL files is white noise in mid-career inboxes. Ken writes from each person's real footprint - title, experience, public profile - inside human frameworks so the email reads like a fit for this program, not a blast every school across town already bought. In our 500k-email study, that personalization lifted engagement 127%.
Your program brand stays off the spam blast.
Programs are reputation products. Nothing sends until you approve. On Ken AI, sending can run on Ken-owned infrastructure with dedicated send domains - prewarmed Ken inboxes and domains are paid in credits, so you can send day one without putting volume on your .edu or primary brand. You approve every message; the quality engine pre-checks copy against a spam-filter replica (32% to 89% inbox placement in our infrastructure test). Multichannel sequences can add LinkedIn connection requests and messages from LinkedIn accounts you connect on Ken AI.
From program ICP to approved campaign.
Three steps. Nothing sends until you approve.
Describe your ideal enrollee
Paste your program page or spell out the seat you need filled - titles, years of experience, degrees listed, geography, employer type. Edit and confirm in under a minute. Undergrad and high-school recruitment are out of scope.
Review real prospects
Ken sources working professionals, qualifies each with visible reasons, segments them, and drafts personalized sequences. Export if you want. Nothing sends until you approve it in your queue.
Send when the cycle opens
Start free from your own inboxes, or send on Ken's dedicated send path with Ken AI at $200/mo. Replies get sentiment-tagged, positives reach counselors, and you can hold a built list for the next start date if you are mid-cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams ask before running outbound for Program Enrollment with Ken.
No. Ken is for working-professional programs only - exec ed, EMBA and part-time MBA, professional master's, certificates, bootcamps, and corporate partnership desks. We do not have consumer or minor data, and undergrad high-school recruitment is a hard exclusion.
Those pools are often multi-tenant or broad - the same names competing programs already bought. Ken builds a campaign on your program criteria with visible qualification reasons on each person so you can compare exclusivity and fit against the vendor file. Booking a call does not require you to cancel an existing contract.
LinkedIn profile and website data only - title, seniority, years of experience, degrees listed, geography, company, and public site content. No consumer intent, funding, or high-school search data. When we talk about credentials, we hedge what LinkedIn omits (no master's listed, not has no master's).
Programs are reputation products, so quality matters more than volume. Nothing sends until you approve. On Ken AI, sending uses Ken-owned infrastructure and dedicated sending domains, with prewarmed Ken inboxes paid in credits for day-one send. On Free, connect inboxes on a separate domain. Either way, your primary brand domain stays off the cold blast.
You review every working-professional prospect before anything sends - sourced, AI-qualified with reasons, segmented, written, quality-scored. Start free with 1,000 credits and send from your own inboxes at 25 credits ($0.50) per 1,000, or book a call. Ken AI is $200/mo with 200,000 sends a month.
