Startups Don’t Have Infinite Runway.
To reach product/market fit, they need the right roadmap, solid strategies to learn from their market and customers, and a framework for deciding when to pivot, and when to persevere.
But things often get complicated when selling to businesses because…
Companies Don’t Buy the Way Consumers Do…
Businesses Buy on Value
They invest in new technology in expectation of a return on their investment (ROI).
Many Stakeholders Get Involved
On average, 6.8 stakeholders get involved in technology purchases in B2B. That’s a lot more than in B2C.
They Expect More Proximity
It’s important to learn to build relationships before you attempt to scale a solution in B2B.
If You Don’t Find a Way Inside Companies to Start Learning.
You’ll Spin Your Wheels.
And Your Runway Will Run Out.
What You Need is a Proven Playbook.
