In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton interviews Justin Liu from Alibaba.com about new AI features, particularly the AI-supported sourcing platform, Accio, and the opportunity for North American suppliers to sell on Alibaba. Justin explains how Alibaba is not just for sourcing from overseas but also a platform for U.S.-based wholesalers to reach a broader audience of serious business buyers. They discuss strategies for mitigating tariff impacts by sourcing from diverse global suppliers and the benefits of using Alibaba's local stock option for faster shipping within the U.S., especially for emerging trends on platforms like TikTok Shop. Justin also shares insights into Alibaba's support system for new sellers, including account managers and resources for business growth.
