B2B
B2B here means a committee, a cycle, and a contract that has to clear procurement. Funnel math, ICP, outbound, channel, agents in operations, and partnership structure all sit under that constraint. Consumer growth hacks do not transfer. If the buyer is a company in the U.S., Mexico, or Canada, start with who signs and what the unit economics will tolerate, then pick the motion.
Every B2B piece on this site assumes a multi-threaded deal, not a self-serve click. That is why ICP, cycle, channel, and agents-in-operations sit together. If you sell to consumers, this tag will waste your time. If you sell to companies across US-MX-CA, start with who signs.
