Why B2B Research Requires a Specific Brief
B2B research is fundamentally different from consumer research. You are often dealing with complex decision-making units (DMUs), long sales cycles, and high-value participants who require specific recruitment strategies.
Who Should You Interview?
A good B2B brief defines the specific roles you need to reach:
- Decision Makers: The people holding the budget (e.g., CTO, VP Sales).
- Influencers: The end-users or technical evaluators (e.g., Developers, HR Managers).
- Lapsed Customers: People who used to use your product but stopped.
- Lost Leads: People who chose a competitor over you.
Key Discussion Topics
Your brief should outline the core themes for the interviews, such as the pain points that led them to look for a solution, the criteria used to evaluate vendors, and their perception of your brand vs. the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you recruit B2B participants?
Agencies use a mix of LinkedIn outreach, specialist B2B panels, and sometimes 'snowball' sampling where one participant refers another.
