B2B

E-Commerce

First, a definition: E-Commerce is the purchase/sale of products or services over electronic systems. Second, it’s big and getting bigger. Global B2C e-commerce sales reached nearly $4.3 trillion in 2020, and it is expected to grow to $6.4 trillion in 2024

B2B e-commerce companies are refining existing sites or building new sites to deliver B2C-like e-commerce experiences for business customers. Companies are hiring IT/marketing talent for B2B e-commerce initiatives as they attempt to migrate customers from traditional F2F/phone to lower-cost online interactions. To prevent a potential conflict with the traditional sales organization, some companies are repurposing sales reps for the capture and retention of high-volume, high-margin global accounts only.

Geo Strategy Partners serves e-commerce clients with customized research and analysis, strategic consulting, and M&A support.
