What does B2C mean?
B2C is short for “Business-to-Consumer.” It means companies sell products or services directly to consumers. Businesses sell products to individuals for personal use, not for reselling or using in a business. This happens in B2C transactions. B2C businesses are companies that sell things online to people like you. They can be online stores, restaurants, or places where you can have fun.
B2C CRM software helps businesses achieve their objectives.

Also, you can generate an unlimited number of quote revisions for each deal and access them from one central screen (quote history).

Perhaps the most important B2C CRM feature you should look for is the ability to help forecast for the upcoming month and year.
Basically, with Forecasts by Product of Onpipeline you can view your sales (won deals) based on the products you sold and the products added to your “quotes”, based on expected closing date.

Understanding B2C Sales
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) sales constitute a dynamic and ever-evolving aspect.
Mass Appeal and Broad Audiences
B2C companies often employ marketing strategies aimed at reaching a wide range of consumers. This includes everything from television and online advertising to social media campaigns. The goal is to create mass awareness and generate interest among potential customers.
Shorter Sales Cycles
Compared to the typically longer cycles of B2B transactions, B2C often involve shorter decision-making processes. Consumers can make quick purchase decisions, especially for everyday items or impulse buys. This places an emphasis on providing seamless online shopping experiences and efficient customer service.
Emotional Engagement
In B2C emotional engagement plays a significant role. Consumers make purchasing decisions based on emotions, desires, and personal preferences. Successful B2C companies know how to tap into these emotions, whether it’s through storytelling, branding, or creating memorable customer experiences.
E-commerce Dominance
E-commerce is the backbone of B2C. With the rise of online shopping platforms, consumers have greater access to products and services than ever before. B2C companies need to establish a strong online presence, optimize their websites for user-friendliness, and offer secure payment options to thrive in this digital landscape.
