What is commerce ?
Discover a world full of opportunities

Commerce is more than just buying and selling products. It's a complex and dynamic field where every interaction matters, and where success depends on much more than just monetary transactions. Commerce is actually a vast ecosystem that integrates understanding customer needs, developing innovative strategies, and building lasting and profitable relationships.

Commerce encompasses a wide range of activities that go far beyond traditional sales. It also includes marketing, customer relationship management, product development, financial management, and even logistics.

At EKLYA School of Business, we prepare you to advance in all these areas by offering you comprehensive training that covers the various areas of commerce, whether in a B2B (business-to-business) or B2C (business-to-consumer) context. Whether you want to work in local commerce or venture into international trade, the skills you develop at EKLYA will open the doors to numerous opportunities.

Trade and sales are essential drivers of the global economy. They don't just create jobs; they also drive economic growth and encourage innovation. Businesses understand that trade and sales are about more than just the exchange of goods or services. They represent a unique opportunity to connect markets, diversify offerings, and meet ever-growing consumer expectations. In a world of increasingly fierce competition, businesses must constantly innovate to stay relevant, and this is where trade plays a vital role.

Labor Market Trend :
What you need to know

The sales and commerce job market is evolving rapidly, particularly due to digitalization and the rise of e-commerce. These changes are creating new opportunities for professionals who are proficient with digital tools and can implement innovative sales strategies. Skills in digital marketing, data analysis, and project management are increasingly in demand. Today, companies are no longer satisfied with simple sales skills; they are looking for experts capable of optimizing their online presence, analyzing consumer behavior, and managing complex projects.

 

The future outlook for sales and commerce professions is promising, but requires continuous adaptation to new technologies. Those with these skills will have a significant competitive advantage in the job market, where the demand for versatile and technologically adept professionals continues to grow. At EKLYA School of Business, our programs are designed to meet these needs, training students ready to meet the challenges of modern commerce and seize the opportunities offered by these developments.

Skills and Qualifications :
The keys to success

Success in sales and commerce requires a set of essential skills. Communication is at the heart of these professions: knowing how to persuade, negotiate, and maintain strong relationships is essential. Sales professionals must not only convince, but also listen actively to understand and meet customer needs. Effective communication creates lasting relationships, essential for retaining customers and building strong partnerships.

At the same time, organization and time management are crucial. Sales and commerce professions often involve managing multiple projects and clients simultaneously. The ability to plan, prioritize, and adapt work to meet unforeseen circumstances is fundamental to achieving objectives while meeting deadlines.

At EKLYA School of Business, we integrate these skills into our training programs, combining theory and practice. Our students learn to communicate persuasively, organize themselves effectively, and manage their time, while having opportunities to put these skills into practice through real-life projects, internships, and work-study programs. We prepare you for successful professional integration, by providing you with the tools necessary to navigate the world of commerce and sales.
