What is B2B?

B2B, short for business-to-business refers to companies that sell products or services primarily to other businesses, instead of consumers (which is B2C, business-to-consumer). Whomever it may be, they’re all customers who are demanding a better customer experience.

Why are B2B organizations looking for a CRM system?

In order to be successful, excellence in customer service begins at the start of every new sales conversation. Because B2B transactions are larger in value compared to B2C, B2B organizations are looking to improve the B2B customer experience by focusing on customer-centric sales strategies. From B2B lead generation to understanding the buyer journey, a sales CRM system helps maintain a reliable business database, streamline activities and focus on customer relationships.

What to look for in a B2B CRM?

Is it customizable for your business?

To be able to tailor the CRM to fit your unique business process, it is important to meet your needs. Because for B2Bs, one size CRM does not fit all.

Does it have automations?

Reduce manual errors of sales reps by picking a sales CRM that'll execute actions automatically based on customer values and behavior.

Can it integrate with business apps?

Find a CRM that smoothly integrates with your business apps so you can improve productivity by having all your apps work together in one place.
