B2B is generally different than B2C in the fact that B2B buyers tend to be slightly more rational and have more than one person participating in the decision-making process. By nature, the B2B is also more abstract as the final clients – the B2C who move the market, are the end goal of the entire B2B market. Without a B2C there wouldn’t be any B2B. Simple.
B2B is different. No cold emails unless they are hand-written. It would be a waste of time and it may hurt your reputation if you do it otherwise. No abandoned cart emails. As B2B relationships still tend to be person-to-person. No sleazy emotional hype emails as they may make you look immature. Below are the 8 types of email sequences that work for B2B clients.

Lower risks with a ‘get-to-know-us’ email sequence. Unlike the trust and competence sequence, B2B clients usually have larger budgets than B2C clients per trade. And allocating this budget usually comes with pre-defined risks in each specific industry. You need to outline all the possible risks that come through the heads of your prospective clients and solve them one by one. You shouldn't do this in a 'myths-buster' fashion or emotionally strong.
