Where to find civil engineers in order to convert them to customers
The idea that helps Civil Engineers
Civil Engineers want to enhance collaboration on infrastructure projects. However, they can't get it because they face challenges in communication and coordination among project stakeholders.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. CollabBridge.
Collaboration Platform for Civil Engineers : A collaborative software solution that facilitates real-time communication, file sharing, and task tracking for civil engineering projects to improve efficiency and transparency. Of course it is much better than the stuff from AutoCAD Civil 3D, or BIM 360!
How to find Civil Engineers
You can get insights about the pain points of civil engineers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.
The process, step by step
One process that we can totally recommend is this:
- Find out where civil engineers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
- Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
- Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
- If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of civil engineers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
- At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Collaboration Platform for Civil Engineers.
I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
