About Sacramento Ultrasound Institute

Located in California, Sacramento Ultrasound Institute (SUI) is a hands-on allied health education provider specializing in diagnostic imaging programs. Its accredited programs include Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Cardiac Sonography, MRI Technology, Radiologic Technology, and Invasive Cardiovascular Technology. The institute operates from a single campus, maintaining a close-knit, hands-on learning environment.

SUI’s Admissions team uses LeadSquared daily to manage the entire student journey – from the first inquiry to enrollment. SUI leadership relies on dashboards and Smart Views for real-time visibility.

The search for a new CRM System

SUI’s growth outpaced the capabilities of its earlier, email-only CRM. Stephanie explained that the team needed a robust, vertical-focused solution – something that could manage student outreach, automate follow-ups, and generate instant reports while preserving flexibility and creativity.

LeadSquared offered exactly that: a scalable platform that could track engagement, standardize communication, and eliminate manual bottlenecks, without compromising SUI’s personalized approach to admissions.

Kent Rodgers

“We wanted a system that could help us manage outreach, track engagement, and automate the repetitive parts—without losing our personal touch. LeadSquared gave us that flexibility and creativity we needed to stay true to who we are as a school.”

The LeadSquared Advantage

LeadSquared’s automations trigger immediate responses to new inquiries, ensuring no student waits for information. Smart Views and tasks give admissions and leadership clear visibility into every prospect’s status, helping them prioritize follow-ups.

Built-in email and SMS campaigns allow counselors to reach students on their preferred channels – especially text – while reusable templates ensure every message aligns with SUI’s brand and tone.

Stephanie shared that this automation-first setup keeps admissions “smooth, efficient, and responsive,” even as inquiry volume continues to grow.

Results

LeadSquared has transformed SUI’s admissions efficiency and student experience. Stephanie noted that response times have dropped to just a few minutes, leading to higher engagement and a steady rise in applications year over year.

Pipeline visibility has improved dramatically, giving the team clarity on where every lead stands and allowing faster interventions when needed. SUI now has a smoother, more transparent journey for both prospects and staff.

Support that shows up

SUI credits LeadSquared’s customer success team for being proactive and reliable. Stephanie shared that their customer success manager regularly checks in and schedules face-to-face sessions within a day whenever help is needed.
