About our client

Based in Switzerland, SquareCo publishes on its platform professional analyses designed to help players in the biofuels markets to better understand regulatory frameworks, market trends and industry developments.

Customer challenges

One of the main challenges was to identify the most promising opportunities among all the Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs). There are many stakeholders who need professional analysis of biofuels: these potential customers include companies that produce, market, transport and consume biofuels. They all operate in a wide variety of sectors, with different profiles, needs and specificities. Our client wanted to identify the best Ideal Customer Profiles (ICP).
Another major challenge was that there was no customer relationship management (CRM) system recording their sales operations. A CRM allows sales operations to be accelerated and follow-up actions to be planned, which is essential.

Solutions

Lead generation and KPI validation
devlo analysed numerous sources of players in the biofuels sector (public databases, LinkedIn groups, Sales Navigator searches and other sources), then identified the most interesting organisations and the most relevant decision-makers. After each campaign, we analysed the most qualified leads to generate new leads based on the best-performing characteristics (activity, industry, size, functions, etc.).
CRM configuration, training and "Single Source of Truth "
devlo configured the CRM according to best practice and then trained the client in its use (follow-up tasks, templates, documents, etc.). It was also necessary to centralise and record all sales operations (e-mails, meetings, telephone conversations) in a "Single Source of Truth".

Key findings

Exclude the least qualified companies between campaigns
Companies focusing exclusively on biogas were excluded as they were of no interest to the offer.
Taking into account feedback from prospects and the customer
For two ICPs who were very interested in the value proposition, the client created a new platform. We took a break between the 2nd and 3rd campaigns to wait until it was ready before communicating on it.
Personalise your messages to improve deliverability
It is essential to strongly personalise messages (first names, surnames, liquid syntax, etc.) to avoid them being detected by spam filters.
