Almost a year ago, I hatched an idea to tap into the sentiment of business decision makers and procurement people around the world, to understand what really makes them tick. I’m delighted to announce the results of the inaugural Mood of the B2B Buyer study for 2018, conducted by the team at Trinity.

Among the many interesting and surprising findings, what stood out for me most is the blurring of lines between the B2B and B2C markets and the fact that our people and purpose, not just our product and price, seem to be emerging as key battlegrounds for success in business.

The study focused on:

  • Trigger events for buying decisions
  • Vendor selection processes and preferences
  • Vendor performance – the good, the bad and the ugly.

The study gathered responses from a broad cross section of businesses, across 12 different industries, 5 continents, with 75% of the respondents coming from C-suite decision makers or senior procurement people.
