Watch CEO Colt Passey at the Future of Commerce Deep Dive event.

At the Future of Commerce Deep Dive Event, Colt Passey, Founder and CEO of Gobi Insights, urged direct selling companies to rethink how they evaluate and implement modern commerce solutions, stressing that true “commerce” extends far beyond ecommerce to include payments, taxes, operations and logistics. He emphasized that while platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce offer advantages, they are not cure-alls—nor are they built with the complexities of direct selling in mind. Passey warned against following industry trends blindly or assuming these platforms will increase sales, noting that improper evaluation leads to costly surprises, delays and lost functionality. Instead, he encouraged companies to rigorously define what they are solving for, involve all departments in decision-making, assess real costs and operational impacts and ensure vendors can meet the company’s unique requirements. Ultimately, Passey advocated for a more disciplined, strategic and business-driven approach to selecting and deploying commerce technology.
