As consumer habits are shifting, sales executives need to be mindful of how technology is transforming the way people shop. Online shopping options, mobile payment methods, and new technologies such as augmented reality (AR) apps and virtual assistants are changing the customer experience.

To capitalize on this change in consumer behavior, retailers must offer digital solutions that will efficiently optimize operations in their stores, warehouses, and supply chains. By utilizing automated systems, companies can increase efficiency and reduce costs while still providing customers with the convenience they demand.

Furthermore, technology can also help to enhance the customer experience by engaging customers with products or services in innovative ways. Augmented reality (AR) apps allow users to view products from different angles in 3D, providing a more immersive shopping experience. Chatbots can also provide conversational customer service 24/7 and AI-powered personalization engines can recommend items based on individual user preferences.
