00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:02.830
- Hi I'm Ranie, finance strategist.

00:00:02.830 --> 00:00:04.630
In this lesson, we're going to cover

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:11.770
understanding the B2B business model.

00:00:11.770 --> 00:00:14.550
A business-to-consumer,
or B2C business model,

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:16.360
is one in which a company sells a service

00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:18.460
or product directly to a consumer.

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:20.750
It is the alternative to the
business-to-business model,

00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:23.670
or B2B, in which a company
sells their products

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:25.050
first to another business,

00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:26.450
which will then often sell the product

00:00:26.450 --> 00:00:29.170
at a retail store at a marked up price.

00:00:29.170 --> 00:00:33.530
Companies can either be a B2B,
a B2C or a hybrid of both.

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:36.230
B2B as a business model,
is generally higher revenue

00:00:36.230 --> 00:00:38.400
per customer but lower volume.

00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:40.750
Whereas B2C is generally a higher volume

00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:41.963
but lower revenue model.

00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:45.770
Examples of the hybrid
model are SaaS companies,

00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:48.220
which often has several
different tiers of service,

00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:50.060
tailored to companies or individuals

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:51.310
depending on the service.

00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:54.370
In general, businesses
are more price sensitive

00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:56.070
and care less about the presentation,

00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:58.210
whereas customers are less price sensitive

00:00:58.210 --> 00:01:00.500
and care more about the presentation.

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:02.300
Selling chocolate to
a business who's going

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:04.250
to create something with the chocolate,

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:05.083
they don't care as much

00:01:05.083 --> 00:01:07.280
about the packaging the
chocolate arrives in,

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.310
whereas if you look at the
presentation of chocolates

00:01:09.310 --> 00:01:12.320
in a grocery store, by
companies like Godiva,

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:15.010
there's a huge emphasis
placed on presentation.

00:01:15.010 --> 00:01:17.200
Generally businesses are more elastic,

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.333
and generally customers are less elastic.

00:01:20.692 --> 00:01:23.275
(upbeat music)
