Case Study

B2B SaaS GTM

EdTech company with 1,800 customers

and over 200 million global users

Challenge: The company had not adjusted pricing in three years. The CEO asked Meridian Insights to evaluate pricing, identify additional ideas to increase revenue, and create a plan for implementation across all departments.


Approach: Mike worked cross functionally to consider marketing, sales, service and product implications. Mike conducted market analysis, analyzed internal data, drafted packaging strategy, created wireframes and recommended a communication strategy for customers.


Results: The company is actively implementing the recommendations and the CEO believes "it will yield solid results."
