Introducing BUYER Graph

CROSS Business Producers (CBP), based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has unveiled its latest service, BUYER Graph, developed by its subsidiary Data Resource Inc. This innovation merges industrial market data with CBP’s patented AI technology to enhance the accuracy of B2B negotiations, new business initiatives, international expansion, and advertising strategies. As globalization and digitalization of B2B transactions become more pronounced, CBP aims to streamline the hypothesis generation process, making it far more efficient than traditional methods that typically take weeks.

The Growing Complexity of B2B Transactions

The B2B landscape is rapidly evolving, with predictions indicating that the global B2B market will reach approximately $24.08 trillion by 2025 and $105.85 trillion by 2033. However, these changes bring complexities in decision-making, coupled with research indicating that 74% of B2B buying teams face unhealthy conflicts in their decision processes. Moreover, 61% of B2B buyers prefer no salesperson interference during their purchasing experience, highlighting a trend towards autonomy in decision-making. Given this challenging environment, the development of precise hypotheses is more critical than ever.

How BUYER Graph Works

BUYER Graph significantly compresses the preliminary stages of B2B decision-making by utilizing industrial market data and AI to generate hypotheses. By leveraging existing reports, public information, and customer-provided insights, it structures key considerations for prospective markets, companies, and roles. Key insights include:

• - Anticipated objections and points of contention
• - Effective language that resonates with targeted audiences
• - Pricing negotiation strategies
• - The logical sequence for presenting information to maximize engagement

The platform also creates a Virtual Key Person Panel, which is an AI-assembled group of assumed decision-makers from companies with which users have not yet established direct contact. This feature allows users to preview potential reactions to proposals, anticipate pushbacks, and gather necessary persuasion materials before meetings.

Ultimately, the goal of BUYER Graph transcends mere efficiency. The service aims to create an environment where human consultants can focus more on core strategic elements such as tactical planning, proposal design, pricing discussions, and emphasizing value through compressing preliminary tasks. Initial findings from within CBP indicate a potential reduction of the hypothesis construction timeline from several weeks to just a few days.

Practical Applications of BUYER Graph

The service is poised to be invaluable in several scenarios, including:

• - Pre-meeting decision hypothesis formulation
• - Designing target demographics for B2B marketing initiatives
• - Validating insights through expert interviews, B2B panels, and further research
• - Crafting proposal documents and sales narratives based on gathered insights

Delivery Model

Unlike typical self-service online tools, BUYER Graph combines human consultancy with industrial market data and AI hypothesis generation into a customized service tailored for individual companies. The initial offering, BUYER Graph Trial Scan, allows quick organization of key hypotheses, barriers to implementation, expected rebuttals, negotiation points, and preliminary proposal messaging based on target sales opportunities, product categories, and markets.

Expert interviews, additional research, and proposal crafting can be tailored based on themes and scopes specific to user needs.

Developer Insights

Miki Kotoba, CEO of CROSS Business Producers, remarked, “B2B expert research and decision-maker analysis have historically relied on human experience and networks. BUYER Graph minimizes these preliminary steps through data and AI, enabling humans to concentrate on strategic planning, negotiation, value articulation, and execution decisions. Our vision is to increase B2B transactions that yield results, even with smaller teams.”

The Companion Service: EXPERT Graph

Alongside BUYER Graph, CBP continues to provide the EXPERT Graph service, aimed at structuring insights from experts, stakeholders, and internal staff already known to clients. BUYER Graph, in contrast, focuses on decision-makers from unfamiliar companies and utilizes industrial data and AI to hypothesize decision structures.

Conclusion

With the launch of BUYER Graph, CROSS Business Producers is addressing a critical gap in the B2B market. By enhancing the hypothesis generation process using advanced AI and comprehensive market data, the company is setting a new standard for efficiency and effectiveness in B2B transactions.
