What their customers say

Quotes from people at Blackthorn's customers.

““Blackthorn really listens to customers. I think that’s been true from the beginning. And I think as the exposure of Blackthorn grows, that’s only gotten better over time. And that’s rare — most companies become less customer-friendly over time. Blackthorn has gone the reverse.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““Blackthorn has already helped us improve the experiences our visitors have, and we’ve seen that in our post-event surveys and anecdotal feedback. We’re going to look closely at how those efficiencies allow us to do more per student per event — and to see how that contributes to prospective students and their families feeling welcome, and to demonstrate that through enrollment.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““It is a dynamic, easily customizable platform that works seamlessly with Salesforce. And it activates data. There are no gaps in it — any gaps are just things we haven’t used yet.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““Now we’ve got this information that we didn’t have before. We didn’t have the ability to kind of capture it and work with it in quite the same way.””

Robert Gregory · Recruitment Events Coordinator · Santa Fe College

““It’s completely eliminated [bringing a laptop], which has been fantastic. It’s almost like a toolbox that you can use, and you can put together something from all these different pieces.””

Rob · Santa Fe College

““Our Subway has gone from taking a loss at Open House to actually making a profit, in part because we’re able to give them more accurate numbers of what to expect.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““Because we can check in people so quickly, I know exactly how to deploy staff at an event. We were able to create a more welcoming atmosphere — the people didn’t have to hurry. Scan, you’re here, welcome to Santa Fe College.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““Creating each new event gets easier and easier, and that’s due to the way that Blackthorn works within Salesforce. I can create custom reports and registration questions specific to our college and, once set up, make minor edits and adjustments as needed for each event. It takes maybe a third of the time to build and manage an event than it used to — particularly for recurring events.””

Robert Gregory · Recruitment Events Coordinator · Santa Fe College

““We still use that same template that we set up when we first did it, a couple of years ago, and it’s worked perfectly.””

Robert Gregory · Recruitment Events Coordinator · Santa Fe College

““I was convinced two years before we got there, but I’m happy we’re there now.””

Quinten Eyman · Director of Student Recruitment · Santa Fe College

““Recognizing that we could move to a native-based Salesforce solution like Blackthorn made that decision very easy.””

Quinten Eyman · Santa Fe College
