CONTEXT & RELEVANCE

Why run this survey now

Most enterprise EdTech resellers don't lose platform deals purely on pricing. They lose them due to misaligned product positioning, unclear institutional fit, weak channel enablement, fragmented partner incentives, and poor post-sale support visibility, none of which fully show up in CRM pipelines or vendor sales dashboards.

If you are...

  • EdTech platform channel head

  • Reseller competing on institutional deals

  • Partner program or alliances lead

  • Revenue head, mid-market accounts

  • EdTech product strategy lead

You're likely facing...

  • Platform fit confusion: K-12 vs higher ed

  • Reseller drop-off at procurement stage

  • Incumbents = trusted/inflexible perception

  • New platforms = capable/unproven perception

  • Renewal gaps: support vs switching triggers

This will help answer...

  • Channel preference drivers beyond margin

  • Deal drop-off stage by segment

  • Reseller vs direct buyer preference

  • Pricing tension: license vs subscription

  • Renewal risk and switching triggers

Mode-adjusted analytics
Our Recommendation
Start with: Online web survey as the core quant layer, targeting resellers and channel partners across platform tiers, supported by CATI for smaller resellers and Tier 2 markets with lower digital survey completion.
Consider adding: F2F interviews for strategic resellers managing high-value institutional contracts, and a focused FGD layer to pressure-test partner program structures and platform recommendation messaging.

CASELET 2

EdTech reseller channel friction & GTM message territories (India)

EdTech platform pricing corridor & segment fit (India)

OBJECTIVE

A mid-size EdTech platform needed to benchmark how corporate L&D buyers and institutional procurement heads evaluate platform pricing tiers, and which feature bundles versus per-seat models drove shortlisting or rejection decisions.

WHAT WE DID

Ran a structured quant survey across 180 enterprise buyers in six cities, capturing budget thresholds, pricing model preference, feature-to-price tolerance, and the specific triggers that moved a platform from evaluation to final vendor shortlist.

DELIVERED

A pricing corridor map by buyer segment, a feature-value ranking framework across three platform tiers, and a list of rejection triggers that caused platforms to drop off shortlists before a demo was requested.
