Best Bees Scales Sustainability Impact with Leadium.

Client’s Challenges

Best Bees faced a dual challenge of market education and penetration. Despite a growing emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives across industries, many potential clients were unaware of the tangible benefits their services could bring. Moreover, Best Bees lacked the internal sales development resources to engage their ideal client profile (ICP) effectively. Their niche offering required a tailored approach to messaging that could resonate with decision-makers across diverse industries, from property management to corporate real estate. These decision-makers often operated in roles with competing priorities, necessitating a compelling value proposition that aligned with their goals, such as earning LEED points, improving ESG ratings, and enhancing employee engagement. Best Bees needed a solution to break into new markets and create a scalable pipeline while educating prospects about the transformative potential of data-driven beekeeping services.

Their internal team faced several challenges: 
‍

• Limited Market Penetration: Despite high demand for sustainability solutions, Best Bees lacked the sales bandwidth to engage decision-makers at scale.
• Complex Messaging Needs: Educating prospects about their unique value proposition, including the scientific and ESG benefits of managed beehives.
• Niche Target Audience: Reaching VP- and C-level stakeholders in sustainability, facilities, and property management across multiple industries.
  ‍

Key Pain Points:
‍

• Absence of internal SDR resources to build a high-performing outbound program.
• Struggling to generate consistent, high-quality leads.
• Need for tailored messaging to align with various stakeholder goals (e.g., earning LEED points vs. community building).
