Creating Effective B2B Buyer Personas

Selling B2B is quite a bit different can selling B2C. Most consumers look at ads for products they might want but don't need. Businesses, on the other hand, want to and indeed many times have to buy. Marketing B2B creates a different situation.

Consider the difference between B2C and B2B as the difference between a consumer and a customer. A B2C consumer is someone who is apt to purchase on impulse and does not take the time to get to know the business and may not ever be back to make a return purchase. By comparison, a B2B customer is more apt to take an interest in the company background, your values, and creating a stable relationship between you and their business.

This lesson is a detailed Walkthrough of creating B2B buyer personas.
