Why Devgrid approached us?

Devgrid approached our team with three primary objectives:

  • Develop a unique positioning for the company based on insights from existing and former clients.
  • Increase the sales pipeline with opportunities from the US market.
  • Create a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for targeting the US market

The Solution

To accomplish the set goals, we adopted a strategic and data-driven approach. We followed a systematic process involving research, analysis, and strategy development.

Research and Insights

Our initial step was to conduct a thorough examination of Devgrid’s current sales pipeline, target segments, and revenue streams.

We also delved into the company’s marketing practices, providing recommendations for developing an evergreen demand-generation process.

During the research phase, we conducted interviews with existing clients to gain valuable insights. 

Some of the key findings were as follows:

  • Startups had a low retention rate, making them less attractive prospects for Devgrid.
  • Financial and utility companies presented substantial opportunities, with the potential for long-term engagements.

Crafting a New Positioning

Based on the gathered insights, we formulated a new positioning strategy for Devgrid. The central focus shifted towards targeting financial and utility companies, capitalizing on the potential for stable and long-lasting partnerships.

Developing the Go-to-Market Strategy

The second part of our strategy was to create a comprehensive 180-day plan for Devgrid. This included a sales-marketing program with a Gantt chart outlining the path to achieving their goals.

The go-to-market strategy aligned with the refined positioning, ensuring a coherent approach.
