Webinar: “Building a Strong Sales Process: The relevance of Targeting the Right Customers”
This webinar will highlight key sales and marketing insights to help project developers build robust energy efficiency project pipelines. The topic will be explored through real-life examples and will offer opportunities to discuss COVID19 impacts on your business from a sales and marketing perspective.
This webinar also presents a great opportunity to learn more about the newly launched Education Programme developed by the Consortium under the pilot programme.
Overview
In the drive for standardisation and eventual scaling of the energy efficiency sector, it is critical that the viewpoint of the end client is not forgotten: project developers will only close a deal if they fulfil a (perceived) need by that end client. This need can be return on investment, carbon reduction aspirations, infrastructure upgrade or ESG reporting and compliance. In any event, it is important for project developers to understand their customer’s decision-making process while building out their value propositions for their clients.
The LAUNCH Consortium recognises the need for project developers to understand their end client and match their service offering with the wants and needs of their Customers. We plan to conduct in-depth desk research as well as leverage the pilot programme to identify target customer segments and suitable value propositions and share our findings with the LAUNCH Community.
We will create archetypes or personas for each target segment. The objective is to help the project developers to better understand the different clients types and how they can tailor their approach and messaging to these clients.
In addition, the project will develop, refine and widely distribute a set of key successful marketing messages (tested in the market with actual projects and clients). Marketing messages will also include how to best present energy-efficiency as-a-service and set the stage for discussing key contractual concepts to their clients.
This webinar is a first step in developing a robust education program, utilizing several resources within the LAUNCH Consortium to begin a learning journey that supports project developers in building a strong sales process to help advance deal closure with their clients.
