Making a breakthrough with emotional intelligence
What does this mean?
Consumers frequently express their love for brands (think Apple and Netflix) but how often do enterprise customers proclaim their devotion to a vendor? Not that often. Emotional connections between clients and vendors may be less obvious but emotion ultimately plays a significant role in B2B purchase decisions. The challenge is to cut through complex, multi-buyer sales processes and connect with customers. Here’s how companies are doing just that.
B2C brands may evoke strong feelings among consumers, but other studies suggest B2B customers are even more emotionally connected to their vendors and service providers.
Of the hundreds of B2C brands studied (like brands like L’Oreal, Target, and McDonald’s ), emotional connections with consumers tended between 10% and 40%. Seven of the nine B2B brands studied surpassed the 50% mark (like Cisco, Accenture, Oracle, and Deloitte).
B2B purchasers are almost 50% more likely to buy a product or service when they see personal value (i.e. opportunity for career advancement or confidence and pride in their choice).
When asked “do you see a real difference between suppliers and value the difference enough to pay for it?” just 14% of B2B businesses answered yes (suggesting perceived business value is only a small part of the decision-making process)
On average, B2B buyers are significantly more emotionally connected to their vendors and service providers than consumers. Why is that?
One explanation lies in the decision-making process. While it’s true that many people in an organization might be involved in making a purchase decision, for the key stakeholders, a B2B purchase includes personal risks. If the purchase decision goes badly, stakeholders risk losing time and credibility or worse—their jobs. With so much at stake, it’s understandable that people feel a stronger connection to a vendor as compared to a consumer brand.
Transparency Goes a Long Way
Furthermore, although B2B buying is often perceived as a rational, data-driven endeavor, the decisions are still influenced by a complex mix of instinct, emotion, and reason.
“People buy from people, not from companies. Therefore emotional connectivity is an important part of any business decision.”
However, the way people form connections has changed. Years ago, when we were in business, the popular wisdom was that you had to play golf because most deals were being made in person, on the golf course. Now, people are forming impressions about you and your company even before the first meeting.
In today’s hyper-connected, digital-first world, buyers can quickly identify the leading vendors in a field and determine which ones meet the company’s needs.

Those were valid questions and instead of answering to those questions I could have spend time telling you all about SATO

Definition of "variable data labels" for your reference.
We base our definition on that of Alexander Watson Associates (AWA), a leading market research firm for specialty paper, film, packaging, coating and converting. The Japanese labeling trade paper Label Shimbun defines them the same way.
AWA classifies the categories of labels as:
1. Pressure-sensitive
2. Glue Applied
3. Sleeving
4. In-mold
5. Others
Variable data labels fall under pressure-sensitive labels. AWA calls them "variable information printing labels."
Variable information printing labels are defined as:
"Labels in blank or pre-printed format that allow for printing of data at point of use, e.g. check weight labels, pricing labels, identification labels, etc."
So, any labels with an adhesive that are printed at point of use on blank or pre-printed media with variable data such as barcodes, date, price, lot number, etc. are considered variable data labels.
For SATO, this includes shipping labels, weight labels, name plate labels, tags, price tags, shelf labels, ingredient labels, hand labeler labels, etc.
