Understanding the State of the B2B Buyer

Commissioned to better navigate complexity, integration, and trust in the modern buying journey

The B2B buyer has fundamentally changed. What once was a relatively linear process – where a single decisionmaker evaluated a handful of vendors – has evolved into a far more complex journey. Today’s buyers face an abundance of choices, information sources, and voices, often leading to decision fatigue rather than clarity.

This report dives into 6 key market challenges and tips on how to overcome each:

  • Information overload and decision paralysis
  • Growing complexity of buying groups
  • Shifts in buyer attention and channels
  • Personalization at scale
  • Integration demands
  • Rising expectations of vendors as trusted advisors

Key findings:

  • 72% of B2B purchases involve multi-stakeholder complex buying groups.
  • 89% of buyers prioritize integration capabilities over standalone features.
  • 83% of organizations say economic and budget pressures directly shape vendor choices.
