Growtoro helped leading college software platform sign up 50 new colleges in just 3 months

Background

Coursedog is a revolutionary platform designed to help colleges and universities streamline their academic operations. By connecting scheduling, curriculum, catalog, syllabus, and assessment into one seamless system, Coursedog builds the foundation for student success through better academic management. Despite the effectiveness of their solution, Coursedog faced a significant challenge: reaching the right decision-makers in colleges and universities across the country.

The higher education market is notoriously difficult to penetrate. Decision-makers are often busy, spread out across various departments, and cautious about adopting new technologies. Coursedog had tried traditional methods to reach these decision-makers, including LinkedIn ads, but the results were disappointing. Despite pouring significant resources into advertising, they saw minimal returns and were quickly running out of options to expand their client base.

Faced with this daunting challenge, Coursedog decided to take a chance on Growtoro, a top-of-funnel lead generation provider known for its ability to generate hot, real-time, high-intent leads.

The Challenge

Coursedog needed a solution that could do the following:

1. Identify the Right Decision-Makers: Reaching out to the correct individuals within colleges and universities who had the authority to make purchasing decisions for academic software was critical.
2. Generate High-Quality Leads: They needed leads that were not just interested, but actively seeking solutions to improve their academic operations.
3. Maximize ROI: After their experience with LinkedIn ads, Coursedog needed a cost-effective method that would deliver a strong return on investment.
4. Book Meetings with Qualified Prospects: It was essential for Coursedog to not only identify leads but also to secure meetings with decision-makers to demonstrate the value of their platform.
