We will sell into new customer segments (from SMBs to Enterprises or from parents to grandparents). They buy more (more products, more licenses, more months).

I’m often asked by B2C product managers how B2B companies are different, or about switching between the two. Here are some thoughts on company-wide structural differences and how we product managers get our work done. It’s a more precise, if less emotional, version of a May talk for Lean Product/UX SV meetup.

In B2C, that is companies who start with a high end product and then create simpler or less expensive versions of it. In B2B, that is companies who start by selling to smaller businesses and then expand to mid-market and enterprise. By starting at the lower end and expanding upmarket. So what did we do?

When people (and VCs) aren’t spending money easily, you must be super sharp with your value proposition, positioning, product, marketing, and sales. While I understand this distinction, I believe that a company cannot reach real product-market fit without nailing down its GTM, and vice versa. Here is how it works.

If you’re just dealing with tough market conditions, the situation is different but the conclusion is quite similar: When people (and VCs) aren’t spending money easily, you must be super sharp with your value proposition, positioning, product, marketing, and sales.

Up until this point, to understand our customers, we had primarily relied on the Jobs-to-be-Done framework , product sense, research insight, sales input, and a belief that our customers were companies just like us. Through the segmentation process, we found that a B2B versus B2C distinction was sufficient to capture differing needs.

Most of my experience is with B2B sales, and mostly of hardware, or hardware/software combinations. Unless you are a large seller, a bit distributor like Element 14 isn’t going to be able to put that attention on your products. One Common Exception – Enterprise Software. So keep that in mind when reading this.

They don’t value experience running product management teams , instead overweighting narrow technical or market segment familiarity. First, I observe that product titles and roles vary wildly across companies: there’s no consistency even within a segment. So my bias is to look for B2B/enterprise experience for B2B companies.
