Where B2B Buyers Begin When Researching Software
B2B software buyers increasingly turn to search engines and AI rather than aggregator websites when researching new software, according to recent research.

According to recent research from LeadMD, buyers of B2B technology products and services most want information about how to get the most out of the solutions they already own. 44% of respondents said this is the most important thing they'd like from providers right now, while 25% want information about how vendors are supporting customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey also found that 31% of B2B buyers have started looking for new technology solutions since the pandemic started. 55% of respondents feel it is appropriate for vendors to continue to market their products and services, while 26% say they wish vendors were more sensitive.
The report was based on data from a survey conducted in April 2020 among nearly 200 buyers of B2B technology products and services.
