Understanding the B2B customer experience and journey: A convergence-based lens
提出融合视角,从心理和运营两个维度解释B2B客户体验与旅程如何跨层级对齐并促进买卖双方互动,为管理者提供六项核心见解。
This article advances our understanding of Business-to-Business (B2B) Customer Experience (CX) and the B2B Customer Journey (CJ) by introducing a convergence-based theoretical lens. This perspective highlights how psychological and operational convergence shape B2B CX and CJ by (1) aligning CX across multiple levels (individual, team, organization) within the buyer organization and (2) facilitating interactions between the buyer and seller organizations across the CJ. The authors offer six core insights that enrich CX and CJ theory, form the basis for actionable managerial recommendations, and inform a future research agenda to address ongoing complexities and challenges in B2B settings.
