Meta builds dedicated sales team and taps consulting giants to sell enterprise AI
Meta is launching an internal sales team for smaller businesses and partnering with Accenture, Deloitte, and IBM to deploy its artificial intelligence to large corporations, following pushback from major retailers over customer data.
Meta is expanding its enterprise artificial intelligence push by forming an internal sales organization and forging alliances with consulting firms Accenture, Deloitte, and IBM, according to reporting from The Information. The dedicated sales force will target small and midsize businesses, while the consulting partners will help sell and deploy Meta's AI models and agents to large corporate clients.[1][2][3][5]
The consulting pivot follows resistance from major retailers, including Amazon, which raised concerns regarding customer data access, control, and technical integration when Meta previously attempted to deploy AI agents directly onto retailers' websites. Instead, Meta has seen adoption by reaching consumers through its messaging channels, including WhatsApp and Messenger, with partners such as Flipkart.[2][4][5]
The enterprise initiative builds upon the Meta Enterprise Platform, introduced in September under former MongoDB CEO CJ Desai. As Meta faces capital expenditures projected to hit as much as $145 billion this year, the company is looking beyond advertising revenue to commercialize its AI portfolio. Between June and September 2026, Meta launched five business and developer products, including Meta Business Agent, Meta Business Agent Platform, Meta Model API (Muse API), Muse Code, and Muse for Small Business.[4][5]

But I think its biggest advantage is WhatsApp where customers already interact with businesses giving Meta a built-in distribution channel for AI agents without requiring retailers to integrate them into their own websites.
