There’s no denying it. Millions of B2B buyers are changing how, where, and when they want to buy. As a result, the end-to-end buying experience has become as powerful a differentiator as any game changing feature in any product.  

To help you in your consideration of how to meet the new B2B buyer’s expectations, PROS worked with Hanover Research to survey the perspectives of purchasing and procurement leaders on what was important to them in the buying experience. Those results are found in: What B2B Buyers Want: A Survey of 1053 Purchasing Professionals

How do B2B tech buyers compare to those that buy from other industries? Is there more of an expectation for technology companies to be ‘tech savvy’ enough to conduct business on digital platforms? Moreover, what should technology companies do to fulfill their needs?
