UC Foods, a manufacturing company, has multiple sales channels including a front-line Sales team and channel partners who are currently enabled on Sales Cloud as well as a Partner Community. The company wants to establish a new B2B Commerce portal to lower the cost of sales by enabling self-service capabilities to automate sales wherever possible. The executive sponsor is concerned that sales representatives might see the B2B channel as a threat to their ability tosell and, therefore, earn higher commissions.
Which two use cases should the Solution Architect highlight to help the executive sponsor better understand the appropriate role for B2B Commerce as it relates to existing sales channels?
Choose 2 answers
Answer : A, D
Salesforce B2B Commerce is asolution that enables organizations to create ecommerce storefronts that are specifically designed for businesses making large volume purchases from other businesses online. B2B Commerce customers need easy online access to suppliers so they can buy products to run their businesses.
B2B Commerce makes business buying easy and individualized. It provides the ability to exceed expectations and hide business complexity for customers with features such as personal catalogs, accurate pricing, large orders, quick reorders, self-service account management, and more.
Therefore, a Solution Architect should highlight that the B2B portal is meant to tackle more routine, low-complexity sales, allowing the Sales team to focus on the more complex sales and priority accounts. This way, UC can lower the cost of sales by automating simple transactions and freeing up sales resources for higher-value opportunities.
A Solution Architect should also highlight that the B2B portal will help the company grow and expand into new geographies where the company does not currently have a sales footprint, resulting in more rewards for everyone. This way,UC can leverage its online presence to reach new markets and customers without investing in physical infrastructure or personnel.

Towards the end of the discovery phase, the sales manager and subject matter experts raise a request to get hands-on experience with the solution as soon as possible. They want to ensure the requirements they provided are correctly built out inSalesforce. The project sponsor is unsure how that request may affect the schedule.
Which method should a Solution Architect consider in this scenario to validate the requirements during the build sprint without impacting the project timelines?
Answer : D
Allowing end users to interact with the solution in a controlled environment (like a sandbox) and providing them with structured testing scripts ensures that the build aligns with their requirements without disrupting the project timeline. This method enables real-time feedback and iterative improvements, ensuring the final product meets user needs. Salesforce's best practices for UAT and sandbox environments, detailed in the Salesforce Development Lifecycle Guide, support this approach by emphasizing the importance of hands-on testing and feedback in the development process.
