Ignitia partnered with Rippleworks to lay the groundwork for expansion in Brazil by learning consultative sales strategies
Ignitia turns weather conditions from a threat into an asset for farmers and agribusinesses working in the tropics. Their first-of-its-kind weather forecasting model is twice as accurate as standard global models, helping farmers plant, harvest, and process crops at the right time. In 2021, more than 1.9 million people subscribed to Ignitia’s weather forecast service in Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire, and Burkina Faso.
Ignitia’s top priority was crafting narratives to demonstrate their forecasting solution’s value to customers in Brazil, a new country and region for their work. Ignitia partnered with Rippleworks to learn consultative selling principles that draw qualitative and quantitative conclusions from sales prospects in new markets.
Our project focused on integrating a consultative selling approach to our go-to-market process as we grow our team and enter new markets.
The Rippleworks support was invaluable in structuring the approach, finding an expert who “has been there and done that” and keeping us on track to ensure we made progress in the relevant timeframe.
We can confidently say Ignitia has a better sales strategy and execution roadmap thanks to the Rippleworks project, and we are forever indebted to Todd for having taken the time to guide us, introduce us to new and innovative tools and being extra-available to provide support, over and above the scope of the project.
