From Referral Reliance to Content-Led Growth: An EdTech Transformation

The Catalyst for Change

Serving higher education meant navigating complex buying committees and academic calendars. Referrals worked but couldn’t scale. They needed to become the trusted voice before committees formed, not after.

The Transformation Journey

From Sporadic to Systematic Monthly educational webinars became their content engine. Each session transformed into 20+ pieces that built authority across channels.

From Unknown to Essential LinkedIn evolved from a Rolodex to a platform for thought leadership. Decision makers began seeking their perspective on industry challenges.

From Reactive to Proactive Intent signals revealed which institutions were exploring solutions. They engaged early, shaping requirements rather than responding to RFPs.

The Evolution

What transformed:

  • Sales doubled through systematic approach
  • Pipeline performance improved 75%
  • 4+ year partnership continues to evolve
  • Referrals became one channel, not the only channel

The New Reality

Today, they’re recognized as the innovative voice in their space. Committees form with them already in mind. RFPs arrive pre-wired in their favor. The transformation from vendor to partner is complete.
