B2B Crux: The marketplace for B2B services

Hello Everyone! My name is Nate and I am the founder of B2B Crux. This is an online marketplace for B2B services that reduces the sales cycle time, makes all service pricing transparent, and allows sellers to have cash flow in a customer’s first month. The following information is covered in the video demo but if you’d rather read than watch, here is the most important info for getting started: Sign Up: Signing up is free. All users must create an account to buy or sell services. In order to sell services, user’s must create or connect a Stripe account. This is super easy to do on your B2B Crux seller dashboard under the Profile tab. Just click the “Connect Stripe Account” button and follow Stripe’s flow. Once completed, you’ll be redirected back to your seller dashboard where you can create a listing. Create a Listing: Creating a listing is also free. Click the “New Listing” tab in your dashboard and fill out all the information. When you’re done, click the “Create Listing” button at the bottom of the page. You’ll be sent to the “My Listings” tab where you can view, edit, and delete all your published listings. Sales: When someone buys your service, an email will be sent to the email address in your profile letting you know that you have a new sale that needs to be fulfilled. You can view sales under the “Sales” tab in your dashboard. Buyer contact information, product purchased, date purchased, the purchase price, and your revenue will all be visible to you. Use the contact information to reach out to the buyer and start the onboarding/fulfillment process. You will also be able to change the status. The default is “Received”, so once you fulfill the order click the box and select “Fulfilled”. The buyer will be able to see the current status of their order under their “Orders” tab. Reviews: Only businesses who have purchased your service can leave a review. If you have reviews from previous customers that you want to have visible on a listing, email the reviews to nate@b2bcrux.com and I’ll add those for you. Pricing: B2B Crux uses a commission pricing structure. It is free to sign up, post a listing, and buy services. However, a platform commission will be taken from each sale. Since B2B Crux is for recurring B2B services and a commission is only taken from the initial purchase, the commission is higher than most other marketplaces. The starting platform commission is 100% of the sale price, but this can be changed using the referral system. The reason for this is marketplaces tend to work better the bigger they get. The more users we have, the more sales we can get you. The more referrals you send, the lower your platform commission will be. For each referral, your platform commission drops 30% down to a minimum of 40%. When someone signs up with your referral link, found under your “Referrals” tab, you both get 30% off the platform commission. Signed up with referral link 1 business referred = 40% platform commission Signed up without referral link 1 business referred = 70% platform commission 2 businesses referred = 40% platform commission Using the discount code PRODUCTHUNT will set your starting platform commission at at the minimum of 40% intead of 70% like a normal referral link or 100% without any link.
