- 11. + B2B B2C Markets B2B markets are generally small vertical markets, often niche in size, comprised of a few thousand sales prospects to maybe as large as 100,000 prospects. B2C markets that are typically large broad markets of tens to thousands to millions of sales prospects. Sales Process B2B sales require consultative selling (selling based on understanding a client's needs and developing a relationship of trust) sometimes from a two-step level sales organization including the sellers sales force and a distribution sales force. B2C sales are usually direct to the consumer or involve a retailer. The sales approach is a traditional product sell of "convincing the consumer" they need the product or service being sold. Purchase Decision The decision to purchase in B2B sales is generally driven by need and budgets therefore; it tends to be a very rationale decision. B2C purchase decisions tend to be made based on want more than need or a budget and therefore are triggered by more emotional decisions.

Editor's Notes
