If your organization is active in business services, you will be dealing with various target groups and stakeholders. On the one hand, there are the decision-makers and influencers, and on the other hand, there are the users of the products or services offered. The business market therefore presents unique challenges. In many cases, the final decision-maker (DMU) is not the person who researches the various providers in the market. To perform optimally, it is important that you reach all your stakeholders in the best possible way, but also that you know them well. Because if you know how the lines of communication work and how decisions are made, you can respond to them in the right way.
We have extensive experience in conducting research in the B2B sector. Thanks to our access to a B2B panel network, we have the tools to reach even complex and hard-to-reach target groups for participation in research. If the target group is so complex that it is not possible to select a large quantitative sample, we will be happy to work with you to find ways to survey this target group through qualitative research.
With a strong focus on relevant insights, achieving measurable results, and building long-term relationships, we conduct B2B research among the (co-)decision-makers for your product category within the organizations that fall within your target group. So, if you supply a software product, we will survey (co-)decision-makers in the field of IT product procurement.
Conducting market research for business service providers requires additional knowledge and empathy, because customer relationships are often highly sensitive and the subject matter is specific. Thanks to the in-house facilities at our disposal, including our own (trained) fieldwork team and an in-house call center, we can offer you the support you need to conduct any research project.
On the one hand, we play a role in creating the right questionnaire and design, but we are also happy to help with the interpretation and translation of research results. In addition, we look at the specific industry: what similar studies have been conducted in the past and what can we learn from them? Are there benchmarks and, if so, are they applicable? In this way, our experts strive to make each study a little better than the last.
We know the market, the target groups, and the playing field.
Even complex and hard-to-reach target groups can be researched.

How satisfied are customers with your product or their collaboration with your organization? Would they recommend your product or service to others, and why or why not?
