The business world now recognises that pandemic conditions are here to stay.
SoPro have direct access to several hundred B2B marketing operations, spanning 60+ verticals. In recent weeks we have seen major movement in global sentiment, shifting from defensive tactics to proactive strategy as realisation sets in.
We are now witnessing the largest and most complex change management project in the history of humankind.
The worlds businesses are rapidly readjusting to compete in a new world. Here’s how.
Heavily reduced demand is being experienced across amost all traditional supply routes. We are seeing significant opportunities for dairy farmers looking for an alternative route to market with wholesalers, independents, newly formed local community groups and even direct to consumer models.
There’s opportunity with the wholesale, independent and direct to consumer markets. Supermarket demand is up as are local delivery channels so seek out the consumer suppliers likely to need additional produce. Domestic dairy processing and refinement to secondary goods is increasing as international supply chains are disrupted, as an example domestic cheese production is increasing, seek out the faster-footed brands and sell in to support the short term supply chain requirements. New/short term contracts will have a good chance of sticking post lockdown as competitors may not all weather the storm.

What better way to convey the surreal magic of the SoPro service than through an animated 60-second explainer video, starring a flying submarine. We commissioned the experts over at Sentio Space to encapsulate SoPro’s fantastical prospecting machine in under a minute. And we don’t mind admitting they totally nailed it.
