What Enrollment Resources Inc. does

Enrollment Resources Inc. is a privately held Canadian SaaS company headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia, founded in 2003 and operating for over 20 years in education enrollment marketing. The company provides the Virtual Adviser platform, an education-specific lead generation and conversion optimization system used by more than 500 schools across North America in verticals including higher education, cosmetology, aviation, applied health, and skilled trades. Notable customers include Hilbert College, Carson Dunlop, IntelliTec College, Federico Beauty Institute, Valley College, Carnegie Institute, and Gurnick Academy.

The core technology combines proprietary lead funnels (Career Training Readiness Pathway, Multi-Step Contact Form, CRO Toolbar) with Enrollment Intelligence analytics and, more recently, Virtual Adviser Studio, a generative AI suite for personalized email, landing page, article, and image production. The platform integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, CampusLogin, and Stars CRMs and is delivered alongside services including High Converting Websites, Paid Search Management, and a 90-day Risk-Free Conversion Kickstart trial. The company holds Google Premier Partner status in the top 3% of Google Partners and reports industry-leading support quality (4.5/5 ticket rating).

The business operates on a hybrid SaaS-plus-services model: monthly subscription fees personalized to each school based on campus count, programs, students, traffic, and tuition; managed services for Google Ads and PPC; and professional services for website builds. Go-to-market combines direct sales with dedicated EDU marketing specialists and a self-serve 90-day risk-free trial with month-to-month billing and no long-term contracts. The company is founder-led under CEO Shane Sparks, achieved Google Premier Partner recognition in 2022, and appointed Saj Butt as Head of Business Development in January 2026.
