FAQs

What are the key stages in a successful B2B sales funnel?

A typical B2B sales funnel is divided into three stages: awareness, consideration, and decision. These stages represent key moments of the buyer’s journey, helping marketers synchronise their initiatives with buyer needs.
In each funnel stage, prospects are handling specific buying jobs, and enabling them to accomplish each job is crucial to achieving success with B2B marketing efforts:

Awareness: identifying pain points and starting research
Consideration: comparing solutions and analysing value
Decision: selecting a vendor, building internal buying group consensus, and completing the purchase

Throughout each stage, delivering custom-tailored content, tracking buyer intent signals, and promoting timely outreach are key to moving buyers forward.

What factors influence B2B buyers’ decisions?

B2B buyers are influenced by a combination of factors, including:

Content relevance and clarity
Peer recommendations and case studies
ROI potential and business impact
Trust in brand and subject matter expertise

Complex buying groups and longer cycles make relationship-building and personalisation increasingly important. Proprietary INFUSE research reveals that, on average, buying decisions take seven months and involve nine different decision makers, as seen in Voice of the Buyer 2026.

What are the best platforms for full-funnel B2B marketing?
