3. QEPro - Here's what we thought (Day 1)
● Many different channels
● Same generic strategies to get, keep, and grow customers'
database
● Just one and generic customer segment
● Pricing model would be per school
● Freemium plan would offer limited features

13. QEPro - Big ideas!
1. Schools’ principals are not only part of the process, but also play a decisive role in
terms of enabling the assessment processes
2. The instrument to buy something like QEdu Provas will most likely be through…
a. Public Call for Proposal (PCC)
b. If less than R$ 8k, PCC might not be required
c. Bundle with some teachers’ training activity
d. Partners with grant makers (e.g.: BID)
3. In terms of pricing model…
a. Freemium model (first three schools use the platform for free)
b. Charge per student
c. R$ 3-5 / student per year appears to be a reasonable price
4. There’s a considerable difference between large and mid educational departments.
Therefore, they need to be treated differently
5. B2G requires relationship building
6. The problem we are trying to solve is extremely critical
14. QEPro - What comes next...
● Run the MVP (3 districts) to test our value proposition (product)
● Test the channels and the get strategies
● Test the new types of agreements for NGOs
● Find new ways to get more items (resource) and unlock new types of
assessments
● Build a strong relationship with the new secretaries (2017 new
administration)
