B2B CRM versus B2C CRM

• The number of contacts and the number of leads is significantly higher in the B2C than in the B2B business.
• The time for sale in the B2C can vary from days to months, but spontaneous purchases are also possible. B2B, on the other hand, has a period of months to years to sell.
• The number of people involved in the decision-making process is greater in the B2B business, so that coordination with colleagues is inevitable and spontaneous purchases do not happen – in the B2C, individuals usually make the purchase decision.
• The number of sales in the business relationship between two companies is significantly lower than that between the company and the end customer. For this, the prices for the products in the B2C are significantly lower than in the B2B business.

• B2B customers receive more advice and support from the seller, as opposed to end customers. This is due to the usually high complexity of the products sold.
• B2B customers also receive more customized products to satisfy their specific needs and needs. For private individuals on the B2C market, the goods are usually uniform and serve to satisfy a special need.
• The duration of the relationship between two B2B business partners is thus significantly longer than between companies and private individuals.

Requirements – B2B-CRM:

• CRM should be focused on the long-term management of potential customers: for each individual customer, the detailed customer history must be available for all employees who have contact with the customer for a long time, because the purchase decision is made by impacton of the diverse interactions with the company.
• The relationships of all persons involved in the decision-making process must be transparent
• The monitoring of opportunities over long periods of time must be simple and as automated as possible
• Lead qualification is often carried out via several attempts (telephone calls, searches) and must be documentable quickly
• Enterprise software e.g. ERP systems must be easily integrated into CRM through interfaces to avoid duplication of data maintenance
• Mobile access via tablets and smartphones should be possible so that the field service can prepare for conversations on the go and capture new insights in a timely manner (keyword: speech recognition)

Requirements – B2C-CRM:

• The software is more focused on short-term sales due to various marketing activities, so marketing automation and multi-campaign management play a major role
• A very large number of leads and contacts must be managed
• The focus is on campaigns for larger customer volumes and updating large amounts of data within the system
• The automation of special parts of the sales process plays an important role, e.g. mailings are to be sent frequently at short intervals to specific target group clusters
• A hierarchical structure of the CRM system (company unit – contact) is not needed because it would cause unnecessary steps in lead management
• The integration of online shops plays a decisive role
