How Technology Has Changed the B2B Selling Process

Technology has changed the world in so many ways, including the B2B selling process.  From automobiles to electricity and even quantum computing, I think it’s safe to say technology has changed the world for the better.  SalesGig takes a look at the top three ways technology has changed the B2B selling process.

What is B2B Selling?

B2B selling is when a business sells their products or services to other businesses, rather than to other consumers (B2C).  In B2B selling, you’re building relationships and working with company decision makers with the goal of improving enterprise-wide operations.

3 Ways Technology Changed B2B Sales

Like all areas of business, technology has had some major impact on the B2B sales process.  Let’s take a look at the three main ways technology is continually changing the way B2B sales work.

1.      Growing Automation

2.      Cloud-Based Sales and Marketing Solutions

3.      Improved Analytics

 

1.      Growing Automation

When sales professionals hear the word automation it can send chills of fear down their spine.  Automation is not the friendliest of terms when it comes to sales, however we’re here to dispel the negative imagery that comes to mind with the word.

There’s no doubt that the B2B sales process can be time consuming, requiring a lot of work ranging from making calls to sending emails, scheduling appointments and so much more.  Outreach work can be streamlined when creating personalized emails and even automatically logging call data.  One of the best parts?  Automation can help you generate reports to help improve your organization.

2.      Cloud-Based Sales and Marketing Solutions

If Customer Relationship Management (CRMs) came to mind, you’re spot on!  CRMs are a great example of cloud-based sales and marketing solutions for businesses.  Use of cloud-based services in B2B selling is becoming more and more popular.

In fact, cloud-based services, such as CRMs, has allowed companies the ability to work on the go (great during the pandemic!) as well as prevent any major crashes or loss of data as everything is stored in the cloud and not on a local server.

3.      Improved Analytics

There’s plenty of data out there and thanks to technology, we can identify key metrics and insights to help improve and shape the B2B sales process.  Not everything will work, or at least not effectively so.  Having access to these analytics has made the process that much faster and simpler.  These analytics can also help you weed out any inaccurate information and keep your sales process that much more organized.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
