DIGITAL SOLUTIONS PROVIDERS
What You Do:
As a digital solution provider, you are working every angle to speed up the adoption of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Industrial Internet of Things, and Cloud-based, SaaS solutions by water and wastewater utilities. You conduct webinars about your solution, you schedule free demos, you approach deals directly and through a myriad of partnerships and collaborations.
What You Face:
The problem is that the cacophony of digital revolution sound is too loud in the ears of the utility audience you are trying to influence. Even though you position your solution as smarter than all the others, your prospective customers are overwhelmed by the litany of options that, however different, all sound the same. Coupled with a dysfunctional purchasing process involving many disparate decision-makers within utilities, who all have the power to single-handedly destroy your proposal, and it’s hard to message your value to all the influencers you need to through traditional consultative approaches.
How We Help:
At Water Online, we help digital solution providers engage the right utility personnel with the right content at the right time to make a meaningful difference. By analyzing reader behavior, we identify patterns of reader activity and connect it to the personas-of-interest you need to influence, helping you create a portfolio of content assets to differentiate your company and brands from the pack.
