Message Baseball Recruits From Their Application
Reach recruits from their application and keep track of who has already been contacted.
Key takeaways
- Email a recruit directly from their application.
- See when a player was last contacted.
- Email recruits by graduation class and recruiting decision.
Turn an Application Into a Conversation
Finding a player you are interested in is only the first step.
Coaches still need to reach out and start building that relationship. Searching for the athlete’s contact information or trying to remember whether someone on the coaching staff already reached out only adds more work to the recruiting process.
Reach Out While the Recruit Is in Front of You
Once a coach reviews a player and is ready for the next step, the Sports Manager makes it easy to move from evaluating the recruit to contacting them directly from their application.
- Open the recruit’s application.
- Write a subject and message.
- Send the email to that athlete.
- See when the last message was sent.
- See if they have been contacted.
The player’s application and outreach stay connected, making it easier to know what has already happened with that recruit.
Reach the Recruiting Group You Want
Sometimes coaches need to contact more than one recruit with the same information.
From the Recruiting section in Communications, coaches can first choose a graduation class and then narrow that class by recruiting decision.
For example:
- Class of 2027 Interested recruits.
- Class of 2027 Maybe recruits.
- Class of 2028 Interested recruits.
The matching recruits appear on the email list so coaches know exactly who will receive the message.
Pick Up Where You Left Off
Recruiting conversations can stretch across weeks or months, so seeing when a recruit was last contacted makes it easier to return to the player and know where the communication stands.
