Project overview

The foundation of EFUEL, and their vision in itself, is built upon the belief that the energy industry is going through a major shift. Their core mission is to make it easy for people to be sustainable.

By offering smart and user-friendly products and services, EFUEL helps their customers switch to be more climate smart with their car ownership. They make it easy to charge your electric car at home, at work and along the way.

During 2022, EFUEL decided to shift their target audience from end-customers (charging at home) into wholesale and resellers. Turning electricians to ambassadors and further building on their existing partner network. As a core in this transformation, marketing automation and customer relationship management has played a central role. The shift took place during Q2 2022 and after six months Nimble reported a 53 % increase in conversion rate from the implemented nurturing automation and an increase in their active partner network with 40 %. Together with the sales team we have built internal processes and funnels to improve reporting and efficiency.

Project execution

The strategic shift in business focus definitely challenged the set up at that time. By conducting workshops and interviews we researched the demand of internal processes and unique selling points from a wholesale perspective.

Firstly, the strategy of converting prospecting leads into partner accounts was established. When having this process implemented we launched lead generation campaigns on site through paid social and paid search. In addition, we supported integrating forms to capture leads from industry related events and fairs.

The top of the funnel kept on being filled with prospects. However, the challenge was to activate them, placing their first, second and later purchases. Content based on the segment and target persona was created to nurture new and existing partners.

Results

Marketing automation used both to nurture prospecting leads as well as driving internal sales processes has been the winning strategy for EFUEL. The activation of existing data and the cleaning process of CRM has been a successful factor for them with ambitions to grow further and expand target segments. We look forward to a strong and rewarding collaboration moving forward.
