    B2B marketing involves marketing goods and services to businesses for use in production or operations rather than direct sale to consumers. It is characterized by larger sales and purchase volumes, fewer but larger buyers, and closer buyer-seller relationships than B2C marketing. The major uses of B2B products are as components of other products, in business operations, and for resale. The buying process involves problem recognition, need description, supplier search and selection, order and performance review. Key roles in the buying center are users, influencers, buyers, deciders, and gatekeepers.
