10:45 am-11:00 am

@Ayaz Quraishi mentioned one slack post from Ghassan on low/no lead receiving from Open edX, and other members shared the experiences of receiving edX’s lead requests rather than Open edX from market place. @Cecilia Liu asked how to better address to institutes the benefits of adopting Open edX than putting courses with edX. @Stefania Trabucchi and @Faqir Bilal clarified that edX fee is high and the selection process is very strict.

Need to check with @Eden Huthmacher if it is necessary to come up with a process of assigning leads to service providers based on contributions?

@Ayaz Quraishi will contact each service provider regarding the solutions and experiences with market place’s lead generation.

 

Questions: What is the current process of assigning leads of Open edX to service providers?

@Angie Ruíz suggested to initiate a filter at market place to differentiate the leads of Open edX and edX, so no unnecessary resources are wasted on chasing after edX’s prospects.

Confirm with @Eden Huthmacher to see if it is doable.
