Case Study for octowaste:
Accelerating Sales and Lead Global Growth in Solar Panel Waste Management​

Introduction

octowaste is a purpose-driven, dynamic hub for solar panel waste management, connecting solar installers, recyclers, eco-conscious companies, and individuals to sustainable and responsible waste solutions. As the demand for solar energy soars, the challenge of managing end-of-life solar panels has become more urgent. Under the leadership of Gok Yılmaz, octowaste has pioneered efficient, eco-friendly, and innovative solutions for the solar waste ecosystem.

However, as the company gained traction within Australia, it became clear that unlocking its full potential would require scaling internationally and refining its sales support operations. Enter A+ Virtual Pro Solutions, a trusted provider of virtual assistant services, remote sales teams, and business expansion specialists, equipped with AI-driven tools and human expertise to transform octowaste’s operations.

The Challenge

As octowaste expanded its services, several challenges emerged:

  • Lack of dedicated sales support executives to manage inbound and outbound sales processes efficiently.
  • Missed opportunities due to limited bandwidth for lead nurturing, follow-ups, and closing deals.
  • Difficulty in penetrating international markets, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
  • Operational inefficiencies related to sales administration and business development tasks.

These limitations restricted octowaste’s ability to expand globally and fully capitalize on the booming demand for solar panel waste solutions.
