What does market development mean to you?

Launching an educational product or entering a new market requires a significant investment of time and resources. Leverage provides the extra capacity and specialized talent your team needs to meet your growth objectives and scale your business.

Our services

Leverage the best talent in the business

Leverage has been serving many of the world's top publishers since 2013. With over 250 years of combined experience, our team has the depth and expertise to deliver results on every project.

When you engage someone to speak to professors on your behalf, that person represents your brand. We engage only the best in the business, and each of our representatives has the experience, focus, and organization you need to nurture relationships and close important deals.

Why work with us?

Expand your market with live reviews

As our flagship solution, our experienced representatives host a series of one-on-one, personalized product demonstrations with professors and prospective customers to demonstrate new products, including textbooks and software resources.

"Our live review was a great way to get instructors involved... We've had sales presentations before, but it's nice to have a conversation with an intelligent person who can answer my questions. My hat's off to McGraw-Hill for doing it this way." (Nathan, University Professor)

"It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to learn about the [new] platform. I have learned many exciting features from Teresa Board, who is approachable, professional, and a wonderful person to speak with. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you again in the future." (Lydia Chen, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology)
