B2B Growth Consultancy

The ecommerce industry is swamped with conversation on DTC and consumer retail...

...but what about B2B?

A very different picture. There are very few of us that specialise in B2B. For me, the more the niche, the more I thrive in my work helping b2b leadership teams open up new growth opportunities through ecommerce.

Yes, it's ecommerce. Yes, it's online. Your job is still, very much, about building using the human touch. People buying from people. That's at the forefront of my work within B2B. You don't want to sound like the rest of the robot-esque brands out there.

B2B clients hire me to review, plan and help action the growth strategy, technology and optimisation processes that fuel ecommerce growth for their B2B brand. Focusing on both the operations and logistics of ecommerce as well as customer acquisition and retention. Working alongside senior management and in-house teams, my job is to provide an honest viewpoint on the current ecommerce capabilities (let's face it most B2B organisations aren't keeping up with the needs of their buyers).

Our work is focused primarily on customer acquisition. To make the shift away from the consumer-based world to help you get discovered by business buyers creating content that focuses in on the questions and needs of your ideal customers.

You'll learn how to build your audience through organic channels, create content that resonates, convert visitors into buyers and develop relationships with key accounts to drive growth for the long haul.

Operationally, you'll be equipped with the most suited technology to help you scale across the front and back-end;

  • warehouse: inventory and order management
  • personalisation: tailored pricing and offering for high value clients
  • delivery: local courier and international dispatching and shipping
  • accounting: payments, costing and purchasing

Clients are typically £1m+ revenue b2b businesses operating in niche markets that are opening up new channels of distribution, manufacturing relationships or direct ecommerce sales opportunities. I'm sharing 20+ years of knowledge working in both B2B and direct to consumer brands to help you drive profitable and sustainable growth for your B2B.
