B2B INDUSTRY TRENDS
Buyers are demanding immediacy and convenience. 38% want flexibility to purchase 24/7 and 22% want a faster process. Business buyers are increasingly looking to transact online, with 63% researching half or more of their work purchases online, while 53% will make half or more of work purchases online in 2018. 61% of research work purchases occur on smartphones.

But failure to meet the changing preferences of B2B customers can be costly. In fact, 71% of B2B buyers said they would switch suppliers to one with a better overall digital experience.
