How do you sell solar energy to businesses in Brazil?

Target companies with high, steady power use (supermarkets, bakeries, factories, gas stations, hotels), find them by CNAE and region in the CNPJ registry, prioritize those operating 3+ years at EPP size or larger, and pitch the owner with a savings estimate based on their power bill. WhatsApp works very well with these owners. 1Lead builds the list by CNAE and automates WhatsApp and email follow-ups.

What slows prospecting down

Contested residential leads

Consumer ads bring expensive leads comparing five quotes at once.

No list for commercial deals

The best projects are businesses, but finding them street by street doesn't scale.

Long decisions

Owners ask for a simulation and come back months later. Without follow-up, a competitor wins.

How it works in 1Lead

  1. Describe your ideal customerOne sentence about who you want to reach. AI suggests CNAE codes, adjacent segments and filters.
  2. Refine the listCombine primary and secondary CNAE, city, neighborhood, size, opening date and status. Save it as a segment.
  3. Launch the sequenceEmail and WhatsApp with automatic follow-ups that stop when the company replies.
  4. Track it in the CRMEvery reply becomes an opportunity in the pipeline, with a suggested next step.

Example: in Goiânia, filter supermarkets (4711-3/02, 4712-1/00) and bakeries (1091-1/02, 4721-1/02), EPP or larger, operating 3+ years. Stable operations get financing approved more easily. Send messages in Brazilian Portuguese.

A sequence you can start with

  1. Day 1 · WhatsApp
    Hi [Name]! I'm with [Installer] in [city]. Local supermarkets are cutting power bills with solar and financing that fits within the monthly savings. Can I run a simulation for [Store] based on your bill?
  2. Day 2 · Email
  3. Day 5 · WhatsApp
    Hi [Name]! We recently installed at a [business type] like yours. Want photos and project numbers?
  4. Day 10 · Email

Signals that the timing is right

  • 3+ years in operation and EPP or larger: stable operation and credit capacity.
  • Headquarters and branches: a project you can replicate across units.
  • Tariff increases at the local utility: a good moment to re-engage old leads.
