Challenge

  • Strong focus on hydrodemolition technology throughout the full buyer journey
  • No defined buyer personas, sales funnel or clear brand positioning
  • Visual identity and tonality, website and sales support materials in 
    need of revision
  • Limited online lead generation, no clear structure for social media channels
  • Need of harmonized sales pitch

Expresso's solution

Based on analysis of an external market study and macro trends in the global construction industry, a new and drastically bigger market was identified for Conjet.

How? Instead of limiting the addressable market to hydrodemolition (technology), Conjet now position themselves to lead the development of solutions enabling safe, sustainable and reliable automated concrete removal (which is an identified customer problem and macro trend):

  • Identification of Conjet’s buyer personas – demographics, problems, what makes them look good and what makes them pay a premium price
  • Alignment around and optimization of Conjet’s sales funnel
  • Analysis of market dynamics. What defines quality and how is premium price enabled?
  • Clear brand and market positioning
  • Identification of what makes Conjet unique in the market
  • Activation through launch of a new lead-generating website and the "Team Conjet"-concept, targetting employees and partners

    Key to success: The analysis was done in discussions involving and engaging most of Conjet's employees.
