Executive Priorities for Customer & Partner Education

Marketers have said for years: “An educated buyer is a better buyer.”  Why? Because they understand their problem, the potential solutions, and what makes your product stand out—allowing them to make more informed (and confident) decisions. 

That’s why forward-thinking companies are looking at customer education differently: as fuel for accelerating marketing and sales.

On this month’s Underscore, get insights from Chris LoDolce, co-founder of SaaS Academy Advisors and HubSpot Academy founding team member, on how customer education can drive net-new revenue growth.

We covered a lot of ground in this discussion, including:
 • How to determine what metrics to measure
 • How measurement evolves as your education program matures—and what metrics you can look at along the way
 • How to tie learning metrics to business impact
 • Some of the difficulties we run into when trying to measure the success of our programs
 • How to think about qualitative feedback alongside quantitative insights

 • Understanding your audience, learner personas, and jobs to be done to inform your marketing strategy
