b2b sales licensing scaling Jun 12, 2023

Taking the leap into business-to-business (B2B) sales can be a daunting task, particularly if your experience has been primarily in business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. However, by understanding the key differences and strategies involved in B2B transactions, you can confidently navigate this new terrain and potentially close deals worth millions.

 

Understanding B2B and B2C

At its core, B2B involves selling your course or program licenses to an organization, with quantities ranging from 10 to 1000, depending on the size of the organization and their needs. Conversely, B2C sales involve selling individual seats to your courses or programs, typically to individual consumers.

 

Due to the larger conversations, higher stakes, and greater investments required, B2B sales often require a longer time to close compared to B2C sales. You will be dealing with multiple decision-makers within an organization, requiring a multi-tiered approach to the sales process.

While these two terms may seem similar, they actually have distinct differences in their approach and outcomes. So, let's dive in and explore the nuances between growing and scaling your coaching business.

This is where a digital marketing funnel will be essential to your company. A marketing funnel is a great way to improve your sales as it will allow you to build some sort of relationship with your customers.

A marketing funnel is a series of online pages and actions that bring new users into your site so that you can capture their information and build a relationship with them for future sales.

A marketing funnel should not be confused with a sales funnel. Even though the structures of both tools are the same, the end results of each are what makes them fundamentally different. A marketing funnel is used to generate leads for future sales and a sales funnel is used as a...
