In the past edtech industry, data means everything. Creating innovative programs that will work for schools and districts that need a customized approach can allow them to achieve a level of growth that sets them aside from the competition.
In the past, many of our customers have struggled with rep productivity, understanding the value of the pipeline, and targeting ideal customers. Generally speaking, these issues occur because of a lack of data. Limited access to rich, descriptive information beyond contact information, internal activity, and transactions can make it difficult for your marketing and sales teams to provide intelligent, thought-provoking messages. In addition, incomplete records, inconsistent terminology, and a lack of fact-checking are all factors that contribute to an inability to make conversions and properly allocate resources.
The market dynamics The U.S. education system is a massive market. According to research by Facts and Factors, it is expected to be worth $1,949.99 billion by 2025. With bright learning opportunities, digital advancements, and other technology-based adaptive teaching options becoming readily available and increasingly popular, edtech companies need to be forward-thinking about how they will reach and connect with students, teachers, and other staff members.
