Over the last decade, the team behind Adience has helped a variety of B2B fintech brands to better understand their target audience. We’ve worked with fintechs large and small across the world. This experience has allowed us to develop an approach to fintech research that has three guiding principles.
Internal engagement is critical.
Fintech products and propositions are often complicated. At the beginning of every project, we spend time speaking to internal stakeholders to learn more about their business and objectives. Doing so helps to ensure that our recommendations are relevant to them. It also helps us to gain internal support for the project. After all, in any change management project the more you engage people upfront, the more they are likely to accept your recommendations at the end of the process.
Unlock emotions.
Financial products are critical to the running of a business, but that doesn’t mean that the decision to purchase them is purely rational. Emotions play a big role in B2B fintech purchasing decisions. When conducting fintech research, we use a variety of techniques to dig beneath superficial statements and identify the emotions that drive decisions.
Find the real decider.
When businesses purchase fintech products, the decision-making process is often led by someone in the finance department. But other individuals often have an influential role in the background. For example, web developers may advise against a payments processing solution if it isn’t seen as being ‘easy to integrate.’ Research projects should try to identify and engage those hidden influencers.
