We asked 900 B2B executives what they really expect from their buying experience. The answers might surprise you.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You can order a taxi, a takeaway, and a week’s worth of groceries from your phone in about five minutes. It’s seamless, transparent, and almost… enjoyable.
But ordering a critical component for your production line? Or restocking essential materials for your wholesale business? That’s a whole different story.
Suddenly you’re navigating clunky portals, chasing down quotes, digging through emails for order history, and wondering why pricing is such a well-kept secret.
Your buyers feel that frustration every single day. They live in a B2C world, and they’re bringing those expectations to their work.
