Everyone is aware that B2B buying is complex. In a large enterprise, this can take months, if not years, and involve dozens of individuals in the buying circle. But new research from CEB , now Gartner , suggests that things are even worse these days: it’s buying gridlock. But interestingly, what we’ve been seeing is that it’s become difficult for customers to buy today. years ago that we found the average buying group consisted of 5.4

There are no basic needs or psychological needs (needs on Maslow’s hierarchy) to be satisfied by buying an opportunity to improve. There are benefits that are reasons people buy things for their company that are driven by company goals; and there are benefits that are reasons why people buy things for their company that are driven by personal goals. Reasons why people buy for their company that are driven by company goals: Save money.

It did not matter if they were ready to buy – or even qualified to buy. Neither one of these marketers were buying leads for low-cost commodities. Last week a prospect told me that he needed higher quality leads than were currently being provided by two third-party outsourced solution providers. His definition of a lead was the loosest that I have ever heard. An employee of a targeted company needed only to download some content to be qualified as a lead.

To the sales VP, a contact (you can buy 200,000 or more of them for $100,000) was undifferentiated from a sales qualified lead. First, it’s never wise to buy 200,000 contacts all at once. In my opinion, the reason that companies still use content aggregators is because they can buy a quantity of leads for what appears to be a reasonable price—and because sales reps don’t follow-up on the leads anyway—and marketing can check the box on delivering leads to sales that, well, aren’t.

Different scenarios will of course see a different buying process, but a recent survey of 118 B2B buyers by Circle Research reveals that there are similarities in the buying process across many B2B markets.
