B2C analysis is often straightforward, focusing on consumer behavior and e-commerce transactions....
Unlike B2C, where customers can make a quick purchase decision with a simple click, the B2B customer journey involves multiple touchpoints and extensive research."
That's why, when it comes to analyzing B2B data, there's a lot more to consider than just clicks and conversions.
"Decisions involving enterprise software or other significant business products or services investments are very different from a typical consumer purchase.

This allows for teams to implement account-based marketing and provides for more engagement which increases the chances of moving prospects down the sales funnel."
