These experts don't work on commission, so you can truly trust their advice. Rather than trying to push a sale on customers, they will educate car shoppers about their choices and answer as many questions as needed. These product geniuses help explain the products so customers can make informed decisions. This strategy helps customers to truly become immersed into the BMW culture and the products they're considering buying, which is something that doesn't happen in typical showrooms where sales agents are clearly there to push a sale. This new role appears inspired by [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialist-over-video) product geniuses, and is part of BMW's effort to modernize its retail strategy and help boost the manner in which people interact with BMW representatives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Informatively Immersive Car Showrooms:** The use of product geniuses in car showrooms to educate and inform customers about their choices and answer questions. - **Trust-based Sales Approach:** The implementation of a commission-free sales approach in car showrooms, where product geniuses focus on educating rather than pushing for a sale. - **Modernizing Retail Strategy:** The adoption of Apple's product genius concept in car showrooms as part of a larger effort to enhance the customer experience and interaction with the brand representatives. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** Car manufacturers and dealerships can explore the use of product geniuses to create a more informative and immersive experience for car shoppers. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can consider implementing a trust-based sales approach by employing experts who focus on educating and empowering customers rather than pushing for immediate sales. - **Technology Industry:** Technology companies can develop innovative solutions to enhance the product education and customer interaction in various retail sectors, inspired by concepts like Apple's product genius. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seamless Auto Concierge Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-at-home.md) - [Tech-Centric Automotive Retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-kelowna.md) - [Video Call Shopping Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialist-over-video.md) - [Consumer-Centric Luxury Car Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-motors-canada.md) - [Auto-Centric Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care.md) - [Emoting-Grille Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-vision-dee.md) - [Ultra-Slick Auto Retail Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latelier-alpine.md) - [Seamless Automotive Shopping Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awin-group-of-dealerships.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Headlight Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neue-klasse.md)
