When you buy coffee from Starbucks it is B2C (Business-to-Consumer). When Starbucks buys coffee beans in bulk from farmers or orders a CRM system for its cash registers, it is B2B (Business-to-Business). B2B sales are fundamentally different from ordinary ones: they are longer, more complex and based on logic, not on emotions.

The specifics of B2B marketing

In B2B, you're not selling to just a person, you're selling to a "Decision Making Committee" (DMU). A marketer may like your software (he is the initiator), but then it has to be approved by the CFO (is there a budget?), the IT director (is it secure?) and the CEO. Therefore, B2B marketing is the creation of expert content (whitepapers, cases, webinars) for each of these participants.

The sales cycle in B2B can last from several months to years. Therefore, lead generation (Lead Generation) and lead nurturing (Lead Nurturing) through mailings and automation are critically important here.
