> Amazon doesn't have salespeople.

AWS sure as hell does

There's still a lot of salespeople, they're just not a lot that individual citizens have to interact with everyday, usually.

Selling to businesses, for example, pretty much requires salespeople. For example, I know someone in corporate real estate, and you wouldn't believe the type of shit the salespeople get away with there or how ridiculous their compensation is (especially compared to her, who does just as much work trying to win business when putting together the proposals those salespeople present).

>Outside of real estate, cars, and financial products, what B2C companies do?

Declining for sure, but high ticket B2C still has salespeople.

Home improvement, cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, vocational education, timeshares, boats, recreational vehicles, insurance, furniture, solar energy, hot tubs, pool tables, pianos, etc.

And a lot of stuff at the low end, home based seller angle...beauty, vacuum cleaners, organic, supplements , diets, and so forth.

Amazon most certainly has selling Associates. But like much of the gig economy, they try to avoid employees.
