Based on these three cases, the answer is no—but job responsibilities will shift. GE sales staff originally spent substantial time manually processing orders, checking inventory, and answering "Do we have this part number?"; after digitalization, the system answers these routine questions directly, freeing staff to help customers find the right components and provide technical advice. AMMEX follows the same logic: by eliminating manual entry, sales reps redirect time toward "building deeper customer relationships." Repetitive data processing and order entry are the first tasks to be automated, while judgment, recommendation, exception handling, and relationship-building remain exclusively human strengths. Digitalization's purpose isn't downsizing; it's enabling sales staff to do higher-value work.
