How to grow without growing your team

Why B2B companies are scaling faster through self-service commerce

In 2025, growing a B2B company doesn’t necessarily mean hiring more people. It means building smarter systems that support both your team and your customers.

Many sales leaders are asking the same question: How can we increase revenue and improve the customer experience without increasing headcount?

One of the most effective answers is self-service commerce.

A new set of expectations

Today’s B2B buyers expect flexibility, speed, and autonomy. They want to reorder products on their own terms, check prices instantly, and track orders without having to call or email a salesperson.

According to a 2025 survey conducted by Sapio Research among 400 B2B companies across Europe and the United States:

  • 85 percent now offer an eCommerce storefront or self-service portal

  • Companies that have implemented such solutions report, on average, a 41 percent increase in sales revenue

  • A growing number of B2B buyers will no longer purchase from companies without digital sales channels

Self-service is no longer a nice-to-have. It is becoming a core requirement.

Manual work is slowing you down

Many sales teams are overwhelmed by repetitive, manual tasks. They spend hours each week on emails about invoices, order confirmations, stock checks, and simple reorders.

While these tasks are important, they are not where your team creates the most value. They keep your salespeople from focusing on strategic customers and growth opportunities.

Self-service platforms shift those recurring tasks out of the inbox and into a user-friendly portal that customers can access at any time.

B2B commerce playbook: Give the customers what they want

Digital transformation in B2B is no longer a buzzword. It is a baseline. Today’s buyers expect the same ease, speed and personalization they experience in B2C. But many companies are still relying on outdated systems and complex workflows that slow things down.

This whitepaper explores how a shift in mindset from transactional to experiential can unlock real value. We dive into self-service, design-driven commerce and aftersales strategies that do not just meet expectations but raise the bar.

    Self-service empowers your people

    This is not about replacing your sales team It is about enabling them to focus on what really moves the business forward.

    With a well-implemented self-service solution

    • Your sales team can prioritize complex deals and long-term partnerships

    • Your support team can focus on high-impact issues

    • Your marketing team gains insight into buyer behavior and preferences

    Internally, you work smarter. Externally, you deliver a better customer experience.

    What should self-service include

    A modern B2B self-service portal typically allows customers to

    • Reorder products based on purchase history

    • View personalized pricing and product data

    • Download invoices and order confirmations

    • Track delivery and payment status

    • Submit service requests or configure product options

    • Collaborate across departments

    When integrated with your ERP, PIM, or CRM system, the platform becomes a seamless part of your business process.

    Growth doesn’t require more people

    If your goal is to increase revenue by 20 to 80 percent, adding more employees is not always the most efficient path. Self-service commerce helps you

    • Lower the cost of each transaction

    • Improve customer satisfaction and loyalty

    • Reduce internal workload and support tickets

    • Increase sales capacity without hiring

    • Prepare for scalable, international growth

    You grow by removing friction. Not by adding complexity.
