B2B Data Collection from Finance & Procurement Professionals
CFOs, finance directors, procurement managers, category leads and budget holders are central to most B2B purchasing decisions. Norstat recruits and verifies this audience across Europe through panel and custom outreach, defined by financial authority, procurement scope and budget responsibility, so the data behind your study reflects genuine purchase decision-making rather than general business opinion.
Finance and procurement: two audiences, different data needs
Finance and procurement professionals often overlap in the buying process but serve different purposes in B2B data collection. We recruit either or both depending on what the study requires.
CFOs, finance directors & budget holders
Finance professionals: budget authority and financial decision-making
Finance professionals hold budget authority and shape capital allocation across the business. They are the right audience for studies on financial services adoption, FinTech and software evaluation, ESG and sustainability reporting, pricing sensitivity, access to finance, risk management and investment behaviour.
We recruit finance professionals by level of budget responsibility, company size, sector and decision-making authority. Screening confirms financial oversight scope before participation.
Procurement managers, category leads & buying committees
Procurement professionals: supplier selection and category management
Procurement professionals manage vendor relationships, evaluate suppliers and run formal buying processes. They are the right audience for supplier selection and buyer journey studies, competitive benchmarking from the buyer side, category management and spending behaviour, procurement technology adoption, and sustainability and ESG criteria in purchasing.
We recruit procurement professionals by procurement scope, category responsibility, company size and sector. For senior procurement audiences – CPOs, heads of category – we apply additional verification on role and organisational level.
Recruiting the full buying unit
Finance and procurement together in one study
Many B2B purchasing decisions involve both finance and procurement – procurement identifies and evaluates suppliers, finance approves the budget and signs off. We can recruit both audiences within a single study with consistent screening criteria and separate quotas, giving you a complete picture of how the buying unit operates rather than just one side of it.
Feasibility is assessed upfront by role, seniority, company size and country so targets are realistic before fieldwork begins.
