Customer profiles are different

Low contract value: B2B customer contract values are often in ranges of $5000/-$25000/- while Most consumer transactions are in smaller ranges of $100-$500.
CX Organisation is different
Support vs. Success Org: B2B businesses have CX organizations with Support Reps, Success Managers, Solution Delivery, Onboarding Specialists, and Sales Engineers all of whom interact with the customer base. While Consumer businesses work on high volumes, the customer experience is automated and limited to self-serve chatbots or Support agents.
Needs are different
Question Types: Consumer support questions are mostly around orders, inventory, and pricing/cancellations. B2B customer questions are often context-based and complex. It requires multi-step reasoning and technical expertise.
