Understanding the Hidden Moments in the Buyer Journey

In the building materials industry, sales success depends not only on obvious customer interactions but also on recognizing the hidden moments that influence buyer decisions. These subtle touchpoints—often overlooked—can make or break a deal. Buildix ERP equips suppliers with the tools to uncover and act on these critical moments, enhancing engagement and driving conversions.

What Are Hidden Moments?

Hidden moments are the informal, sometimes unconscious interactions or signals customers give during their buyer journey. Examples include hesitations during product demos, delayed email responses, or patterns in browsing behavior. These moments reveal underlying concerns, shifting priorities, or readiness to buy.
