The approach to product discovery in B2B is distinctly different from its B2C counterpart. While most literature and case studies focus on B2C, Julia from Alasco – a leading company digitizing the real estate industry – offers a fresh perspective on the unique nuances of B2B product discovery.
This talk highlights the challenges and possibilities inherent to product management in the B2B sector - from multifaceted stakeholder expectations, long sales & onboarding cycles to complex decision-making pathways primarily driven by qualitative data. Contrasting these with B2C’s direct-to-consumer, quantitatively driven, high-volume approach, Julia draws from Alasco’s first hand experiences to illuminate the patterns of B2B discovery.
