#62: B2B CX and the Evolving B2B Customer with Rajesh Sankaran

Author: The Agile Brand September 23, 2025 Duration: 21:21

Agility requires a deep understanding of evolving customer expectations and the ability to adapt quickly to meet those needs, especially in the complex B2B landscape. It also demands breaking down silos between marketing, sales, and customer service to create a unified customer journey.

Today, we're going to talk about the nuances of B2B customer experience (CX), particularly within a large organization like an insurance company, and how it compares and contrasts with the B2C world.

To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Rajesh Sankaran, SVP of Ecommerce  at A-MAX Insurance.
