One of the biggest challenges for brands is to stand out in a crowded marketplace. The company we’re working with has been in operation since 2019, enabling e-commerce brands to monitor all products in fierce competition at marketplaces. Mindsite was looking to reinvigorate their lead generation efforts by establishing a solid structure.
About Mindsite
Minsdite is a start-up based in Turkey that provides a digital shelf analytics platform. The team comprises 26 people, including marketers, designers, data scientists and especially software developers.
The goal of this project was to make sure that Mindsite could build the right foundations for lead generation so they could become a global e-commerce data insights company as they envisioned in their future.
Challenges in the Project
Before Metheus, Mindsite acquired a few new clients referred from their strong existing client base as early adopters of their platform outside of home market, Turkey; however, they have not got an established awareness. The team had initial ideas for next markets but there was an uncertainty for market selection. Lastly, Mindsite was lack of knowledge for building a multi-channel lead generation structure for global expansion.
However after engaging with Metheus Consultancy, the company has been able to overcome these challenges. The digital shelf analytics firm has successfully created an advanced lead generation structure that is contributing towards its revenue growth target this year.
Implementation from Metheus Team
First we started to sit down with Ismail (co-founder of Mindsite), Alper (head of growth), and Umut (head of account management) in order to truly understand the company’s priorities, team capabilities and resources allocated for its market expansion. Metheus team also analysed competitors’ strategies of Mindsite and strength of their offerings to understand the landscape better. Right after a number of sessions; market landscape and Mindsite’s position in the picture was crystal clear for our team. Our consultant team formulated a roadmap that will determine rights markets for Mindsite, bring all capabilities required to generate leads from multiple channels and acquire new clients with confident.
In the early steps of our aligned roadmap, a market prioritization tool is created including quantitative metrics and qualitative insights. In this tool, our team used several resources from microeconomics metrics from World Bank to Metheus’ insights on business culture and B2B purchasing processes of multinational enterprise brands. In the end, scoring is done and target markets are determined.
After identifying potentials and selecting markets, it is followed by clear definition of ideal target company profiles, buyer personas, and a comprehensive potential lead list. Metheus defined key messaging and differentiation for each maturity level of e-commerce. Strengths and weaknesses of the Mindsite’s competitors in terms of features, pricing, delivery model and customer support options are also included in the differentiation methodology.
Multi-channel lead generation strategy is one of the key assets for any company to achieve success in market growth. All channels in the business purchasing cycle are elaborated in enterprise brands and retailers’ perspectives and winning strategies for each lead generation sources are talked in detail.
Later stages of the roadmap devoted to the building a sales funnel, closing sales, and forming an organizational structure that allows for successful execution of the chosen strategy within budget constraints.
