While a majority of B2C companies are crushing the social media marketing game, many B2B organizations are lagging behind. Even with Facebook\u2019s growing popularity, many B2B brands still struggle to nail down an effective strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem? The B2B buyer\u2019s journey is much longer and more complex than that of a general consumer.
