Overcome Major Digital Barriers in B2B Commerce
B2B commerce has moved online - but complexity remains. Long sales cycles, rigid platforms, and unclear communication channels create friction for both buyers and sellers. This post explores the main digital obstacles in B2B sales and shows how communication tools like chat, SMS, and RCS messaging help solve them.
