The Cabinet One-Pager

A template for the monthly enrollment marketing update: five blocks, one page, every number sourced. Built so the hardest question in the room already has an answer on the paper.

1 · The headline

One sentence: are we on track to fill the class?

  • Enrollments to date vs. goal, with pacing status (ahead / on pace / behind)
  • The single most important change since last month

Watch out: Don't open with channel metrics. Open with the outcome the room cares about.

2 · The funnel

Volume and conversion at each stage, with comparison.

  • Leads → applications → enrollments, this cycle vs. same point last cycle
  • Lead-to-enrollment percentage (LTE%), trended

Watch out: Same-point-last-cycle is the honest comparison — month-over-month mixes seasonal effects into every number.

3 · The money

What it costs, honestly computed.

  • Spend vs. budget vs. cycle progress (three numbers, side by side)
  • Cost per enrollment by paid channel — spend ÷ paid-source enrollments
  • Gross or net clearly labeled (pick one for the page; footnote the other)

Watch out: If organic volume is in any cost denominator, the page won't survive a sharp CFO.

4 · The decision

What you're changing, and why.

  • One reallocation or hold decision, with the two numbers that justify it
  • What you expect it to change by next month's page

Watch out: A report with no decision attached trains the room to skim. Always ship one.

5 · The watch list

What might move next, so nothing surprises the room later.

  • One young cohort still maturing (note its projected finish)
  • One risk — a channel pacing hot/cold, a data caveat, a market shift

Watch out: Flagging a risk early is cheap. Explaining a surprise later is not.
