#1108: Multiple seven figure wholesale seller shows you how it's done!

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack why sourcing is no longer the hard part of building an Amazon business. Matching ASINs has become easy, but knowing what will actually work only shows up once products are tested in the live marketplace.   They explain why Keepa tells only part of the story, how the buy box behaves differently across locations and timing, and why sellers often panic and lower prices when nothing is truly broken.   They also zoom out to the bigger picture. ASINs are not the asset, systems are. The first twelve weeks are meant to feel messy, even when progress is happening. And the sellers who last are the ones who build repeatable testing and decision processes instead of chasing certainty or perfect data.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me?

You're doing the work. The numbers are moving. So why does everything feel off?   We've watched this pattern play out with client after client. Smart, capable people lose confidence at the exact moment they should be trusting the process. They don't quit at the start when everything is hard. They don't quit at the finish when the results are obvious. They quit in the middle, when the work feels heavier than the reward.   This episode unpacks why that happens. We're talking about identity shifts that make progress feel threatening, why failure is feedback and not a verdict, and why the messy middle is actually where all the winning happens.   If you've ever stared at your dashboard wondering if you're doing this wrong, this one's for you.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Q_sAQveOZVg   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I just use ChatGPT to respond to an Amazon POA (plan of action) request?"

For years you've heard us talk DOWN the use of leads lists, but recently that has all changed because of how 3PMercury has changed the game. We are now actively on the hunt for leads lists of INTEGRITY that do the heavy lifting for you when it comes to finding viable ASINs.    Today we meet with a coach on our team who has launched a leads list service at OAprofitpipeline.com (use coupon code "Jim75" to save big!)   Can a leads list service be better than your own VA? Does it make sense to use a leads list service if you DO NOT yet own 3PMercury? What goes into finding great ASINs for a leads list? How many others get access to the leads you get from a good list? We answer all those questions and tell you how to get 600 ASIN leads right out of the gate working with Travis and his team!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/DdbtlVAmxw4   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE!

Prep centers are in huge demand with the ongoing growth of Amazon. If you have some extra space and want to consider a new income steam, you might consider launching a prep center!   Are you using a prep center to handle your Amazon inventory? If not, you should be aware that there are numerous options to offload this part of your business to someone else!   On this episode we interview Ryan Walsh of Encore Business Group. He operates an 18,000 square foot prep center that ships 1,000s of boxes weekly for sellers.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/74wpgBpvT3o   Don't forget to check out Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a TWO month free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Show note LINKS:   Get on our info list for updates on how to launch a prep center: https://silentjim.com/prepcentertraining/   PrepCenterNetwork .com our current list of all known prep centers   EncoreBusinessGroup.com - Ryan's prep center   SilentJim.com/mis - Our multiple income stream mastermind (Ryan is a member)   3pmercury.com/friends - 3PMercury - best price on the full software    Today's guest: Ryan Walsh of Encore Business Group    

You meet people who want freedom. Then you meet someone who refuses a boss so much he reverse-engineers his whole life. After Derek left the Army, he started Amazon FBA with nothing but podcasts, stubborn grit, and a few painful months of trying to "make a penny per ASIN."   In this talk, we walk you through his jump from Excel chaos to 45,460 ASINs stored, his real replens, and a system that runs while he sleeps. You'll hear how he fights through IP blocks, bad prep centers, order cancellations, and the mental weight of slow progress.   If you ever wondered what happens when someone treats sourcing like a gym routine, delayed gratification like a religion, and three in the morning like normal business hours, this one shows you.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What's an Amazon CSM review and is it a big deal?"

In our previous episode, we talked about a coaching student who found 3,800 test-worthy ASINs in 12 weeks. Today, I talk more about the TWO different ways to do Amazon reselling.   Depending on your budget and time available, one of the two makes the most sense - or maybe you'll do both!   If your budget is tight (you can't afford to buy the inventory needed to sell $2000 or more per month), you'll want to stick with simpler models to help cover your expenses, but for those ready to go further faster, the door is wide open with 3PMercury to scale at the speed of your ability to be a BUILDER!   Let's talk about it.   Don't forget to check out Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a TWO month freetrial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/oHJ0Nt96rug     Show note LINKS: 3PMercury.com - Our best price https://3pmercury.com/friends    SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events, and a steady stream of the latest cutting-edge training, including of course, the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

A coaching client hit "apply filter" and watched 3,800 qualified ASINs appear on screen. His shoulders dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had runway. Here's the thing, no one sold him that list. He built it. This episode breaks down the exact approach: how many hours, how many weeks, what filters matter, and why your own database is the only competitive moat that actually lasts.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?"
