What’s the “State of Customer Education”?  Each year Adam and Dave take time to review reports focused on education in B2B SaaS and pull forward the key themes and trends as reported by institutions and vendors that serve the market. Join us as we unpack customer education reports including the TSIA State of Education Services 2023 report and explore the current state of customer education. We underscore the need for companies to shift their focus from growth at all costs to improving free cash flow and profitability, making the monetization of education services more crucial than ever. In this ever-evolving business climate, we touch on the concept of change and the importance of adaptability. You’ll gain valuable insights into the trends shaping the education services industry and the vital role of staying agile in the face of change.

Lastly, we’ll explore the transformative power of video in customer education and success. We’ll examine various reports and studies that underscore the role of video in engaging and educating customers. You’ll also get to hear us debate on the potential of video in replacing other modalities in education and how it can be utilized strategically to meet customer learning needs. This episode promises an exciting journey through the evolving landscape of customer education and the role of video in shaping customer success.

What do we need to pay attention to?  What can we safely ignore?  This is a great time to think through your 2024 playbook and ensure you’re keeping pace with market changes.
