CollegeandUniversity.net is a service owned & operated by CUnet.

CUnet operates with the common understanding that For-Profit Education, Career Training & Financial Aid companies need to generate an increasing amount of qualified internet leads in order to experience sustained growth. Generating large amounts of qualified internet leads usually requires costly trial and error, multiple vendors, multiple campaigns, hands on vendor/campaign management, geo-targeting issues, screening for duplicates; bad lead returns, monthly reconciliation, compliance issues and many other hurdles which can tie up & bog down valuable resources. Often marketing staff don't have enough time to successfully manage budget growth. Educational Marketing Networks acting as "outsourced vendors" through their experience, established presence, critical mass, technical infrastructure, and network of targeted distribution channels are usually one of the most effective means of generating and managing a sustained increase in leads. Established education & training firms need to find and partner with quality internet Educational Marketing Networks. They need to use these quality vendors as they use their other professional service suppliers, as trusted allies.

Mission:

To serve our educational clients as a trusted ally, providing them with the loyalty of a strategic business partner and the economics of an outside vendor. We make sure that our clients have all of the qualified leads they need to grow their businesses as planned, with maximum efficiency and reliability. For all of our customers who work with date specific enrollment & start deadlines we provide the assurance that the quantity of qualified leads will be there when they need them.

Our Management Team:

• Tom Ferrara, Chief Executive Officer
• David Flack, President and Chief Operating Officer
• Robert Selt, Senior Vice President
• Jamie Krug, Vice President and Director of Technology

Partner Centric:

Our "open" model provides for a much stronger relationship with our partners. Why?

• Because of the thorough quality screening process, we place lots of appreciation on our quality publishing partners (origin of prospects) for the value they bring to the table. This is clearly acknowledged by the fact that we pass thru the largest % of the fee paid per lead to them.
• Because our system is an open one and can track the lead conversion rate to the vendors (lead source) who originated the lead, we also provide them with the credit and recognition they deserve.
• We understand the significant value that our partners bring to the table; it is reflected in the dignity & respect that we provide to them.
• Faster payouts, online & real-time reporting, dedicated partners' services team.

Management Summary:

Our management philosophy is based on responsibility, performance, and mutual respect leading to earned autonomy. People who work at CUnet want to work here because they recognize and appreciate a work environment that encourages creativity and rewards achievement.

When necessary, we utilize additional resources on a contract/ hourly and/ or project-consulting basis. We also utilize part-time staff, interns, and an off shore development partner for non-proprietary needs.
