Buyers in the business - to business markets are generally a lot more rational and know much more about the products they need than buyers in consumer markets.

For example, a corporation is looking for a vendor that supplies them with toilette paper, paper towels and soap. They will request the vendors information about all the products that they can offer including:

professional product lines (paper and soap dispensers), approximate cost per individual user alternative qualities offered applicable warranties sales terms / discounts for volume sales etc.
