How many of you are planning Virality as a driver of your model?
![Page 9: 9 Business to Business (B2B) Startup Business Models](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052116/588740d81a28ab5a628b4a65/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

5 reasons you won’t go viral
1. Viral & Network effect is a B2C marketing method calculated as “K Factor” k = invites sent * conversion
2. No inherent virality in your offering – nothing to share with other people, e.g. Facebook or WhatsApp
3. No collaboration virality – extending your offering
4. Your target market is too small (TAM/SAM/LAM)
5. Budget and Creative - No “me-too” approach will work

What you can do
¤ Clear product positioning = word of mouth. Can your message be repeated to their boss?
¤ Make your product more valuable over time <REALLY?>
¤ MVP vs. KAP “Kick Ass Product”
¤ Free trial is different from Freemium ¤ Corporate users will expense a service below a specific price
point
¤ What the conversion % to paid is the question you will have to answer

Sales Models

¤ Direct – internal sales people (Inside or Outside), # of deals/Month, salary + commissions
¤ Distribution/Channel Sales – Indirect or external, <# of deals/Month, no Salary, just commission <Mindshare. Fulfill demand, don’t create demand
¤ White Label Sales/Licensing – infrastructure or license sales, long sales cycle, few but targeted customers
¤ Retail – Product on shelves - N/A

Sales Model Assumptions
The following apply regardless of models
¤ Cost of Customer Acquisition (CAC)
¤ Lifetime value of Customer (LTV) ¤ Typically 36 month calculation
¤ Time to close sale ¤ How does this change with product/market maturity?
¤ Churn/Retention

9 B2B Models
¤ B2B Commerce - Example Grainger ¤ Grainger is a wholesale supply company with a $15B market
cap. This ordering site shifted the expense of ordering from their counter to the customer.
¤ Subscription - Example Salesforce.com - detailed post ¤ There are so many great examples now of B2B subscriptions; I
wanted to highlight one of the frontrunners in Salesforce. One of the things they did that was masterful was recruited sales people directly (cheap for 5 users or less) who would then expense it back to their company.

¤ Search – Example Google ¤ Yahoo was first in the PPC business. Search is a free
consumer service paid for by advertisers – targets action or intention.
¤ Advertising – Example Facebook ¤ Monetizing eyeballs. Need to start with 1M uniques to be
fundable. Cost per Thousand (CPM) on Banners can target demographic vs. intention.

9 B2B Models
¤ Productize a Service - Example MOZ - detailed post ¤ Services business (Consulting) usually generates 35%+ Gross
Margin. Given that pull of profit $, very few companies make the shift from services company to product company.
¤ Marketplace - Example Alibaba ¤ Nearly everyone has used eBay or similar. Alibaba's IPO and
global presence is what people know it for in 2015. But this marketplace was founded in 1999.

9 B2B Models
¤ Transaction Fees - Example Square ¤ Square launched with a replacement for credit cards like
PayPal and take a percentage of every transaction as their payment. They've since expanded into Point of Sales (POS) services.
¤ Lead Generation - Example Mint ¤ Consumers are the product to whom Lead Generation
companies are selling. They are a business that sells other businesses (consumer) leads. They are paid for the lead, not a transaction. Sometimes this is a great customer experience like Mint, but with others, like Insurance, it's a bad customer experience.

9 B2B Models
¤ Combination - Example Uber ¤ Uber is a business that created a marketplace that
innovated around transaction fees (the driver doesn't control the price like an eBay seller).

Other Models – ONLY at Scale
¤ Nonprofit - Example Startup Weekend
¤ Big Data Sales – Data Analytics
¤ Multisided Marketplace – Etsy, Zarly
¤ Panels – ability to interview panel of customers or pay for Access. Examples: PatientsLikeMe, Toluna
¤ B2B2C – please don’t hurt yourself…
