B2B.ID

Inbound recommendations

Don't only find clients. Let the right clients find you.

When another business asks B2B.ID for someone matching what you offer, your B2B ID gives B2B.ID the context it needs to understand whether you may be a fit. Recommend Me is acquisition from the opposite direction.

How it works

Get recommended, step by step

  1. 1

    A buyer asks for something specific

    "I need a fractional CFO experienced with SaaS companies preparing for Series A." Not a category search — an actual need.

  2. 2

    B2B.ID looks for businesses that may fit

    Target fit, relevant offering, sector experience, proof, relationship or trust context, and availability or intent where supported.

  3. 3

    You appear with the reason why

    The buyer sees why you surfaced — which makes the first conversation start from relevance rather than a cold introduction.

  4. 4

    The buyer reaches out

    They can view your B2B ID, Save you, or send a Request. You respond to demand that came looking for you.

Set expectations

What this is — and what it isn't

Being clear about the boundaries is part of the product.

What it is

  • Inbound discovery powered by the context in your B2B ID
  • Recommendations explained, not black-box rankings
  • A path that improves as your Offers, proof and Target Profiles get sharper
  • Buyer-initiated contact through structured Requests

What it is not

  • A paid placement or sponsored listing
  • A guarantee of a fixed number of recommendations
  • A "verified vendor" badge — verification belongs to specific claims and evidence

Where it lands

It ends in the same pipeline as everything else

However a conversation starts, it becomes a Request, then a Pipeline entry, then an Agreement or Deal — one canonical record inside B2B.ID.

Questions

Get recommended — questions

How do I get recommended more often?

Give B2B.ID better context: clear Positioning, specific Offerings and Offers, precise Target Profiles, and proof such as testimonials and delivered work. Recommendations are driven by fit, so sharper context tends to mean more relevant surfacing.

Can I pay to be recommended?

No. Recommend Me is relevance-based. If you want paid reach, that is a separate, clearly labelled path — Advertise.

Will I see why I was recommended?

Recommendations carry their reasoning — target fit, relevant offering, experience, proof and relationship context — so both sides understand why the match surfaced.

Create your B2B ID first

Get recommended works from your business context — offers, markets and the clients you want. That starts with a B2B ID.
