One first sale, three markets
- Client
- A global utility's Latin American operations
- Problem
- Utilities buy slowly and rarely switch vendors. The challenge was turning a single foothold into a relationship that spans markets.
- Moves
- Led with one focused solution, delivered it well, then used the result as the reference that opened the next market, and the one after that.
- Result
- Two markets closed and a third in progress from one first sale. Lead generation grew 30% against a 10% target; new opportunities grew 62% against 50%.
- Where AI fits today
- Today I would use AI to map every adjacent business unit, draft market-specific cases from the first win, and track account health weekly instead of quarterly.
