What technologies are driving digital transformation in B2B sales?

B2B sellers enhance customer loyalty and achieve greater business success by actively resolving customer challenges, generating value in each interaction, and navigating buyers' unpredictable paths to purchasing decisions. The number of steps involved may vary depending on the scale of the business. However, a standard group responsible for purchasing a complex B2B solution usually involves six to ten decision-makers.

Digital sales rooms improve the B2B digital sales process with personalisation

If a SaaS company wants to simplify a complex B2B sales process, it must apply B2C personalisation techniques and better user experiences. Businesses can experience a 40% faster revenue growth through personalisation. This growth potential should motivate B2B vendors to embrace adaptable digital sales rooms.

How to apply digital sales rooms to the B2B digital sales process

How can companies apply digital sales rooms throughout the B2B sales cycle?

The digital B2B sales process contains repeatable steps that guide a sales team in converting potential leads into customers. It involves several stages: prospecting, connecting and qualifying, researching, presenting, handling objections, and closing. SaaS companies can improve their B2B digital sales process by leveraging virtual sales environments for conducting sales meetings, presentations, and negotiations.


Digital sales rooms support every stage of the B2B process:

  1. Prospecting:
    • Adopt multi-channel outreach.
    • Share videos, voice notes, and tailored guides to attract leads.
  2. Connecting & Qualifying:
    • Identify product-qualified leads from engagement data.
    • Example: Haystack shortened closing time by 40% using trumpet’s buyer activity notifications.
  3. Researching:
    • Enable self-serve discovery with case studies and content libraries inside the sales pod.
  4. Presenting:
    • Deliver live demos and value propositions with branded, interactive templates.
  5. Handling Objections:
    • Use live chat, Q&A, and collaborative tools to resolve concerns in real time.
    • “I’ve closed deals through the Live Chat feature alone,” says James Ridge, Founding AE at Privasee.
  6. Closing:
    • Simplify negotiations and e-signatures with trumpetSign.
    • Ensure a smooth transition into onboarding - all within one persistent digital space.

To further improve the B2B sales process, trumpet offers intuitive collaboration features for B2B sellers working with their buyers, something which James Ridge, Founding Account Executive at self-compliance tool Privasee has been able to leverage in order to close deals quicker, he explains;

When a prospect has clicked on my proposal, I get the notification and jump straight into the Pod with them. I've closed deals through the Live Chat feature alone!"
