VTEX growth playbook

Diagnosis

VTEX is building a B2B go-to-market in every region: Presidents of B2B for North America and for EMEA & APAC, a New York outbound hunter, a US system-integrator leader, B2B growth specialists in São Paulo for events, sponsorships, Ambassadors and Resellers, and analysts for ABM measurement.

The site does not yet support that push: the Pierce Manufacturing US story and the Dow case are only in Portuguese, the Ambassadors and Reseller programs have no public page, English events list no North American presence, and the site serves only three languages.

This playbook puts the right proof in the right language, gives the partner programs front doors, and builds measured outbound, partner and event plays.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn existing B2B proof and the partner ecosystem into regional pipeline, starting with a North American play for manufacturers selling parts through dealers.

Biggest Risk

commercetools, Shopify and Salesforce compete for the same enterprise B2B budgets, and a new regional team without local proof will struggle to win against incumbents.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    VTEX is hiring a President of B2B for North America and a New York field marketer to open target accounts by vertical. One of its best proofs for that market, Pierce Manufacturing, a Wisconsin maker of fire trucks that moved its dealer parts business to VTEX, is published only in Portuguese and tagged "Brasil". The Dow B2B case is also Portuguese only, while the English B2B stories are mostly from Latin America and Europe.

    Smallest test

    Translate the Pierce case and send it in ten outbound emails.

    Why it works

    Translate the Pierce and Dow cases into English, tag Pierce as United States and Industrial manufacturers, and link them from the B2B Commerce and industrial manufacturers pages. Ask Pierce for a short quote or video, and build a one-page summary ("dealer parts portal for about 70,000 trucks") that outbound reps can send.

    US manufacturers trust US peers, and dealer-network parts commerce is a pattern many US equipment makers share. A US story in English gives every outbound sequence and trade-show conversation a relevant proof point.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Other cases with wrong tags

      Audit tags across all three languages (idea 6).

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe Pierce Manufacturing case study exists only in Portuguese (its only hreflang is pt-br) and is tagged "País: Brasil". It describes a company headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, an Oshkosh Corporation subsidiary that sells fire trucks only through dealers and runs a "Pierce Parts" site supporting a fleet of about 70,000 trucks, which moved its B2B parts business from a legacy catalog to VTEX.Source

    Run the manufacturer sequence on 50 accounts.

    Why it works

    Build one sequence per priority vertical (manufacturers, distributors, CPG) and per buying role, each pointing to the matching vertical page, a relevant story and the demo store. Track replies by sequence.

    Relevant proof in the first email raises reply rates with enterprise buyers.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Too few US stories

      Add translated US cases as they appear.

    Smallest test

    Publish the Ambassadors page.

    Why it works

    Publish a page for each program in Portuguese, Spanish and English: who it is for, what members earn, how referrals are tracked, and an application form that feeds HubSpot. Link it from the partner and SI pages.

    People cannot apply to a program they cannot find; a page lets recruitment scale beyond personal outreach.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Low-quality applicants

      Add qualifying questions.

    Evidence

    • HiringSenior Growth Partnerships Specialist (São Paulo, posted October 7, 2026): "own and evolve programs such as VTEX Ambassadors and Reseller, turning influence, referrals, and long-term relationships into a structured and measurable source of leads and pipeline", recruiting new Ambassadors and Resellers and tracking their pipeline.Source

    Why it works

    Add an events calendar for North America: shows where VTEX exhibits or speaks, executive dinners and webinars, each with a "book a meeting" link routed to the right rep.

    Prospects check where a vendor will be; a listed meeting slot turns a booth visit into a scheduled conversation.

    Events concentrate buyers; contacting them before and right after raises meeting and conversion rates.

    Certify two US SIs.

    Why it works

    Add a B2B certification track, show it as a badge and filter in "Find an SI", and route B2B leads to certified partners first.

    A clear specialization helps buyers pick partners and gives SIs a reason to invest in B2B skills.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Too few certified partners at first

      Pair new SIs with VTEX pre-sales.

    Why it works

    Publish a page per major ERP and procurement integration (with the partner or connector, what syncs, a customer example), and a market view of which integrations are available where.

    Why it works

    Contact 20 equipment makers.

    Why it works

    Build a parts-and-dealers solution page, a reference architecture with SIs, and an outbound program to 100 equipment makers, using Pierce as the reference.

    A repeatable pattern with a reference customer is the fastest way to enter a new region.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Long cycles

      Start with parts portals, not full replatforms.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe Pierce Manufacturing case study exists only in Portuguese (its only hreflang is pt-br) and is tagged "País: Brasil". It describes a company headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, an Oshkosh Corporation subsidiary that sells fire trucks only through dealers and runs a "Pierce Parts" site supporting a fleet of about 70,000 trucks, which moved its B2B parts business from a legacy catalog to VTEX.Source

    VTEX's presidents are asked to make VTEX the benchmark for B2B digital commerce. Aggregated platform data on B2B ordering (reorder rates, quote cycles, self-service share) would back that claim.

    Why it works

    Publish yearly benchmarks by vertical and region from anonymised platform data and a buyer survey, launched at VTEX Day and regional events.

    Recruit five ambassadors in Mexico.

    Why it works

    Once the Brazil program shows pipeline, launch it in Mexico and the US with the same rules, local recruiters and English and Spanish pages.

    Advocates bring trusted introductions in markets where VTEX is less known.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Local rules on referral rewards

30/60/90 roadmap

What to focus on in each month, and the ideas that carry it.

  1. Days 1 to 306 ideas

    English Pierce and Dow stories, vertical sequences, program pages, North American events, the event play and the story audit.

    Programmable can ship 1 of these in days.

  2. Days 31 to 6013 ideas

    Buying-committee dashboard, B2B SI track, integration pages, demo tours, European languages, competitor comparisons, partner sponsorships, joint SI campaigns, resellers, site speed and the B2B briefing; North American trainings and the translation workflow.

  3. Days 61 to 903 ideas

    Commit to the big bets: the dealer parts play, the B2B benchmark and Ambassadors beyond Brazil.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value one platform for B2C, B2B and marketplace. The most cited problem: legacy B2B catalogs that need heavy customization.

  • Native B2B features such as quotes, punchout and buying policies
  • Complex pricing, credit and approval rules
  • In their words: “composable”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: commercetools, Shopify and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

  • Gap to exploit: Dealer-network parts commerce for equipment makers
  • commercetools: More assembly required
  • Shopify: Less depth for complex B2B

Hiring signals

VTEX is building B2B sales and marketing region by region.

  • President of B2B - North America: Unified B2B sales and marketing in the US and Canada. Ideas 1, 18.
  • President of B2B – EMEA & APAC: Many languages and ERP integrations. Ideas 9, 11.
  • Lead Field Marketing Specialist - Business Development: Outbound by vertical and trade shows. Ideas 1, 2, 4.
