MenuHow do I also sell to b2b customers on the same website?
I have a plant marketplace selling to consumers and would like to start selling to hotels and event places to place orders/do custom orders - since businesses have larger volumes and more customized requests, do I need a separate website? Or a B2B portal section? I want to maintain the current consumer website.
TLDR: How do I cater to B2B clients without disrupting current b2c website?
Answers
There are a few ways that you can sell to b2b customers on the same website.
One way is to create separate sales pages for b2b customers and make sure that your sales copy is tailored specifically for them. You can also use lead capture forms or email opt-in forms to collect contact information from potential b2b customers. Once you have their contact information, you can send them a separate sales pitch or offer directly through your email or sales page.
For more information, you can reach out to me for your questions.
You can simple add a section of page for "b2b" customer have a look at https://spa4fun.com or https://escortsjaipur.co.in/ where we are dealing with b2b customers on the same platform.
Need is a strong word. There are various technical solutions to solve this, but it also depends on various factors. If you can direct B2B traffic to a separate page, it opens your options significantly. Having a dedicated portal has its perks, but it seems you'd rather avoid the extra overheads. Having a separate website is certainly a possibility, but once again it seems you'd rather avoid it.
The thing is, B2B is radically different from B2C. Retaining the same website will limit how flexible you are towards those clients, and if they are not demanding, it might make sense to proceed. I'm afraid that's the best I can say without further details, so I hope you found this helpful. Do reach out if you want to discuss specifics though.

I am starting a business as a reseller of corporate clothing, gifts and promotional product, have no skill running it. Please help
Someone else creates the design and physical products, correct? In that case, your main challenges are (A) identifying customers (B) convincing them to give you a chance (C) keeping them happy with good customer service When it comes to (A), you should probably be knocking on a lot of doors. You'll experience plenty of rejection, but some people will say Yes. Do a good job, and they may remain ongoing customers or refer you to others. This doesn't require any formal study of marketing. It just takes practice and long hours. There's another way to handle (A). And you should probably be doing both in tandem. This involves studying the behavior of people you want as customers. Many people are searching online every day to find companies who provide exactly those products and services you offer. You can ensure they see you by running a pay-per-click advertising campaign in Google and other search engines. SEM professionals can help manage your expenses and ad placements. You'll also want to evaluate the written content on your website and think about SEO. The better your websites perform online "organically", the higher they rank for all the relevant online searches, the less you'll need to pay to advertise. I can't help you with customer service (C). But maybe I can help you think about (A) – finding customers online. And I can certainly help with (B) convincing the people you approach (or who find you on their own) that they ought to hire you. Practicing your sales pitch is important, since you'll be delivering it to a lot of different people. But much of your sales pitch is embedded within your website and brand name. So you ought to pay very close attention to the visual and verbal quality of all your promotional material, ranging from on-site text to graphic design, verbiage in brochures and ads, and (perhaps most crucially) the domain name you've chosen to be known by. That name / domain is everyone's first impression of you. Even before they click, they've judged you. When they arrive on the website, they see the visual layout and the written content. So even before they've tried your actual services, they've judged you again. Clearly, it's worthwhile to perfect these early stages in your sales funnel so that prospects make it all the way to the finish line – i.e. asking questions and hiring you. If you'd like help with naming, domain procurement, branded copy writing, or SEM strategy, perhaps I can assist.JP

What is the optimum selling strategy of making a big ticket sale of X product/service (>$500,000) to a large enterprise?
Selling to enterprise customers is about demonstrating value while reducing risk. You will need to show irrefutable proof that your solution will address a pain - ideally, one that is both urgent and important (Eisenhower matrix/Covey). The best way is to point to tangible examples of where you have solved the problem before - through documented case studies, testimonials from industry luminaries, etc. Most enterprise solutions have been developed with the involvement of at least one customer to ensure there is some semblance of product/market fit. If that is your situation, you need to use that customer as a proof-point. In the absence of an existing customer, you need to find someone (a champion) who is willing to accept greater risk in return for the benefits of being an early adopter. The offer to them could be financial (free/reduced cost/pay when you're happy), exclusivity, customization/ personalization/integration,... - something that will provide extra reward for taking a chance with you, in return for allowing you to use them as proof when the value is proven. As well, expect that an enterprise will limit their risk by testing your solution in a controlled setting - in one department, a specific project, a parallel implementation with another product, etc. with very specific, measurable objectives and expected outcomes. Selling to enterprise customers can be daunting. Decision-making can be slow, complex and political. The reception area is full of existing account managers with big expense accounts and six figure salaries who call on the customer every day. But, if you can find a way to successfully break into the market, large companies can be like lemmings - and one sale can lead to many. Good luck! Ping me if you think I can be of help.PS

Thinking about changing the name of our business, is there a quick, affordable way to test our existing brand name?
I agree with Joseph: an objective assessment from a professional will provide the balanced insight you're looking for. You can accomplish that very inexpensively with a Clarity call ... or a couple of calls to different experts. Here are some of the things we'd want to know (and which you can ask yourselves): - What does your current name say about your products, your services, your brand? If you think of it as the title of a story, what story does it promise? - What are the advantages of keeping the name? - How is the name holding you back? - Does the name have built-in limitations? For example, is it hard to pronounce? Does it suggest a service offering you no longer wish to be associated with? Have you been faced with a trademark challenge? I do not advise polling your customers or suppliers. They are apt to prefer the familiar over the new, and if you are contemplating a significant rebrand -- branching into new areas, dropping some key offerings -- you risk tipping your hand.NF
