Where to find smart grid technicians in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Smart Grid technicians

Smart Grid technicians want to detect energy grid inefficiencies. However, they can't get it because they rely on manual inspections which are time-consuming.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. GridSense.

Automated Smart Grid Inspection Software : GridSense is a software solution that uses IoT sensors and predictive analytics to automate the detection of inefficiencies in smart grid systems, reducing the need for manual inspections. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Grid4C, or Sentient Energy!

How to find Smart Grid technicians

You can get insights about the pain points of smart grid technicians 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 smart grid technicians 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 smart grid technicians, 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: Automated Smart Grid Inspection Software.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
