Map your buyer’s journey
B2B buyers rarely buy on impulse. A typical path:
- Need identified by an engineer, purchase manager or owner.
- Search on Google, IndiaMART or LinkedIn.
- Shortlist suppliers based on catalogues, certifications and references.
- Request quotes and samples.
- Negotiate and place a trial order.
- Repeat orders if quality and service are good.
Your marketing should provide the right material at each step: findable listings, clear catalogues, fast quotes and proof of quality.
Build a catalogue that sells
- Clear product photos on plain backgrounds.
- Specs in tables: sizes, grades, materials, standards.
- Applications and industries served.
- Certifications and test reports.
- Packaging and minimum order details.
- Contact and dealer information.
Support your dealers
