How do you design a buyer-led B2B journey

Design a buyer-led B2B buyer journey by mapping the work a buying committee actually does, not the stages your CRM forces them through, because if your funnel can't explain committee behavior, your forecast is fiction. Replace pipeline stages with demand states, arm the Mobilizer (the internal champion driving consensus) with a self-serve proof package like pricing logic, security FAQ, and ROI calculator, and tie each demand state to a measurable conversion event so buying-group coverage, not lead velocity, becomes the metric. That gives you fewer late-stage stalls and a more defensible path to enterprise pipeline, even when reps are optional.
