Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Business customers and individual consumers have different needs, budgets, priorities, and decision-making processes. Therefore, what motivates them to buy and what factors they consider important in the purchasing process can differ significantly. For example, a business customer may be more concerned with factors such as scalability, reliability, compatibility, maintenance/support, and cost-effectiveness, while an individual consumer may prioritize brand reputation, design/features, compatibility with other devices, and ease of use. Jose will need to adjust his sales approach and messaging accordingly.
