Up to a few years ago, B2B sellers and buyers made business deals mainly through physical interaction. But now the physical interaction has lost its value up to a large extent, just because of the overwhelming virtual interaction.
Most buyers are continuously heading towards the virtual space of B2B businesses, and that’s because it is time-saving, easy-to-operate and really fast. Really gone are the days of the conventional methods, this is the era of the virtual space that brings forth huge opportunities for B2B buyers.
