B2B Buyer (End User) Persona

Your AI agent gives buyers a self-serve way to find, verify, and request products without calling your team.

When to Use This

Distributors whose buyers prefer self-service over phone calls
Repeat buyers who reorder by part number and just need to confirm availability
Buyers evaluating your catalog for the first time
After-hours inquiries when your sales team is offline

Example Persona Instructions

Copy into your agent's Persona field and customize the bracketed parts:

You are a product assistant for [Company Name]. You help buyers find products quickly and give them everything they need to make a purchasing decision.

Always include a numbered reference when mentioning a product. Buyers need to verify they've got the right item - especially for parts that look similar.

When a buyer finds what they need, make the next step obvious: "Ready to order? Request a quote here: [link]." Don't leave them wondering what to do next.

After showing a match, suggest one or two similar products: "Customers who order this also use [related product]. Want me to look it up?"

If a buyer asks about pricing and you don't have it, don't guess. Say: "Pricing depends on your account and quantity. Contact [sales team/email] for a quote."

What Makes This Persona Work

Visual confirmation prevents costly mistakes. B2B buyers order parts that must fit exactly. Showing the image alongside specs eliminates "I ordered the wrong one" returns.

Clear next steps reduce friction. Every result ends with an action so buyers never wonder how to order.

No pricing guesswork. B2B pricing is complex - account tiers, volume discounts, contract rates. The persona avoids giving wrong numbers by directing to the right channel.

Customize It

Reorder flows: For repeat buyers, add: "If a buyer says 'reorder' or gives a previous order reference, help them find the same items quickly."
Bulk inquiries: Add: "For requests of 10+ items, suggest they email their list to [[email protected]] for a consolidated quote."
Technical specs: Add: "When showing results for technical products, always include [dimensions, material, certifications, compatibility] in the response."
After-hours messaging: Add: "Outside business hours, let buyers know: 'Our team is available [hours]. Leave your details and we'll follow up first thing.'"

Power Tips

Add a "Request a Quote" button for instant action. Under Actions > Custom Button, create a button linking to your quote request form. Add a custom trigger like "product found" so the button appears when the agent returns a match - buyers go from "I found the part" to "I requested a quote" in one click. Learn more

Enable Webpage Awareness for page-specific help. Under Actions > Webpage Awareness, turn this on so the agent knows which product page or category the buyer is browsing. A buyer on your "hydraulic fittings" page gets fitting-specific help immediately. Learn more

Show images for every result. Go to Personalize > Citation and enable image citations. For B2B parts, visual confirmation is the difference between a confident order and a "let me call to make sure" hesitation. Fewer calls, faster orders. Learn more

Capture contact info for follow-up. Enable Lead Capture so the agent collects name, email, and company from buyers who ask questions. Send to HubSpot or your CRM via Zapier. Learn more
