In order for education organizations to fulfill on the promise of driving product adoption, they must first land in the account. That is not going to happen if the only route to market is the product sales team. Attach rate for education organizations has hovered between 10% to 14% for the 10 years that TSIA has conducted the Education Services Benchmark Survey. So, clearly, if the only route to the customer is via a product sales rep, education organizations, by default, will never impact product adoption in a meaningful way. So, that means that education organizations must develop capabilities to leverage any, and all, routes to market.
