Brightstar’s Approach & Experience
5. Retail versus B2B
• Customers visit store
• Primarily consumer
focused
• Shorter sales cycle
• Typically 1-5 lines sold
• Location is set up with
demo devices, graphics,
and brochures providing
information
• Businesses need to be
outbound prospected
• Business focused needs
• Longer sales cycle
• Potential for more
activations in a single sale
(5-99)
• Tools for SMB sales differ
• Communications needs
must be tailored to their
business
Retail B2B
Business sales need as much focus,
management, and commitment to be
successful as a retail operation
