12:35 PM Workshop #8 Upstream With A Paddle: A View On Guided Buying And Continuous Improvement That Delivers

Guided buying promises to simplify complex B2B purchasing—but its real value comes from continuous optimization, not one-time implementation. This session explores how leading B2B organizations use guided buying experiences, data, and feedback loops to steadily improve buyer outcomes, increase conversion, and reduce friction over time.

  • Understand what effective guided buying looks like in real-world B2B environments
  • Identify where guided buying delivers the greatest impact across complex catalogs and use cases
  • Design guided experiences that evolve based on buyer behavior and feedback
  • Optimize buying flows through continuous testing, iteration, and performance measurement
  • Align product, UX, sales, and eCommerce teams around shared improvement goals
  • Measure success using KPIs tied to conversion, efficiency, and customer satisfaction
