## How commerce is changing

slideText 1 ofText 1

### The evolution of traditional sales channels

As consumer journeys become non-linear, shoppers expect seamless transitions across social, in-store and mobile touchpoints, prompting brands to go beyond rigid sales channels. With more than five connected channels used on average during the consumer journey, brands need to create a pervasive shopping experience where consumers can purchase from anywhere, at any time.

### AI-driven shopper experience

Generative AI is reshaping commerce with intelligent tech advisors and agents that streamline the discovery process and act as personal assistants, transforming how consumers find and purchase products. AI will enhance consumer and customer engagement and, as it proves more effective at offering emotional support than humans, it will become central to the shopping experience.

### The rise of social and conversational commerce

Social and conversational commerce are emerging to address consumer overwhelm and decision-stress, providing more authentic, personalized shopping experiences. These approaches are gaining traction with younger consumers who seamlessly blend social discovery with AI-powered recommendations, creating new opportunities for brands to connect with shoppers.

### Tech-powered sales ecosystem

Real-time insights into consumer needs and trends are enabling smarter sales decisions. Digital transformation is altering traditional sales approaches, with AI coaches supporting representatives across industries. Leading companies are leveraging structured, unstructured and synthetic data to build a gen AI-ready digital core, unlocking business value across marketing, sales and operations.

### AI capabilities and talent transformation

The skills required for commerce roles are evolving. As traditional operational skills become less relevant, capabilities like data and AI proficiency, LLM prompting and generative AI knowledge are becoming critical. Sales representatives are shifting from transaction-focused roles to advisory positions, building stronger consumer relationships through enhanced digital capabilities.
