Event Description

Most manufacturers and distributors know they need a stronger digital channel — but too many build before they diagnose. In this session,we’ll walks through the exact framework that is helping mid-market companies close the gap between how their customers want to buy and how the business is set up to sell them. You'll leave with a clear picture of where you are, what's blocking you, and what to do next.

BWG Connect, Commerce & Groove Commerce invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

Discussion Topics

  • Why most B2B eCommerce projects fail before they start — and the sequencing mistake that causes it
  • How to identify where revenue is quietly leaking in your current sales and ordering process
  • The B2B eCommerce Maturity Model: where you are today and what it actually takes to reach Stage 4
  • What a real buyer portal looks like — ERP integration, personalized pricing, and self-service that customers actually use
  • How to build the internal business case for digital investment and get leadership aligned before you build
