  If you've ever run out of your best-selling products faster than you can restock them, wondered what ROI you should actually be targeting, or watched your buy box disappear and immediately reached for the repricer - this episode is for you.   Brian and Robin unpack one of the most misunderstood realities in Amazon selling: three questions that look completely different on the surface are actually the same question wearing different masks. And the answer to all three is almost always the same word. Price.   In this episode you'll learn: Why running out of stock is a pricing problem, not a sourcing problem What ROI floor you should be targeting, and why it connects directly to your velocity What actually causes a buy box to disappear (hint: it's not your price) Why panic pricing hands your profit directly to the seller who held their number How to read a suppressed buy box for what it actually is - a delivery signal, not a pricing signal    Brian drops the line that ties it all together: "Price is the lever. It controls your velocity, your ROI, your exposure to panic, and whether you hold or fold when the buy box disappears."   And they close with a Warren Buffett quote that hits differently when you're watching your repricer make decisions it doesn't have the information to make.   This one is worth a second listen.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is the inform act and how scary is it?

Why do so many sellers stay stuck even after watching courses, reading books, and buying tools?   In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin share a powerful story about the Wright Brothers and Samuel Langley. One had funding, prestige, and a perfect plan. The other simply kept testing. Only one of them flew.   That story opens a conversation about a common trap Amazon sellers fall into. Over-planning. Endless research. Waiting for the perfect moment to start. Brian and Robin break down a simple three-question filter that helps you cut through the noise and focus on the next right move in your business.   You'll learn: • Why planning too far ahead keeps sellers stuck • How to tell the difference between real progress and "feeling busy" • The simple Now vs. Later filter that keeps you focused • Why boring systems usually mean your business is working • The one action challenge you should complete this week   If you feel overwhelmed by tools, courses, or endless advice, this episode will help you reset and focus on what actually builds a business. Because the antidote to confusion isn't more information.   It's action.   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've heard us say for several months now that Amazon reselling is getting simpler by the day because of the technology and strategies we are deploying for our students.   Another major breakthrough has just happened and it's more true or now than it has ever been. Amazon reselling is getting simpler.   Today we spend time with the founder of 3PMercury discussing the latest automations that are making the lives of Amazon sellers so much easier with so much more opportunity emerging for all of us literally daily!   The latest news... New technology is allowing sellers to automatically monitor the inventory levels of their suppliers, as well as the REAL TIME COSTS OF REORDERING more inventory. Example, if an item that used to cost $7 at Walmart now costs only $6 (or goes up to say, $9), 3PMercury knows and makes repurchase suggestions based on real time inventory cost updates! This means that 3P mercury software can now recommend with more confidence than ever the lowest hanging fruit opportunities in your product catalogue!   Let's spend time today with the founder of 3Pmercury and learn more about the latest automations - also, be sure to join us March 5th for a webinar demonstration at 3Pmercury.com/webinar (recording will be posted on that page as well).   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8t71I0ndS0g   Show note LINKS:   3PMercury YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi4wEyJVgx_RDRcjXncuCUQ   Is this a GOOD ASIN or a BAD ASIN (3pmercury youtube video): https://youtu.be/_vgOjIKqH4w?si=rOIs0vozp3tO9wIt   What are the steps 3P uses to evaluate an ASIN automatically? https://youtu.be/FZeextx9GvQ?si=5JWDBp9yCB1x-Fal   3pmercury.com/webinar - Come see a demo of the latest AI features at the latest March 5th webinar as Khang covers the cost/inventory live update features of 3PMercury.

Robin Joy survived a birthday party at Slick City...barely. What started as a 60-year-old launching herself face-first off an indoor slide (and going viral for it) turned into the most honest conversation we've had about why watching other sellers succeed doesn't prepare you for the moment you actually try it yourself.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down the three stages every Amazon seller goes through, and the costly mistake most people make by skipping straight to stage three before they've earned it. If you've ever wondered why your sourcing feels like luck some days and chaos others, this one's for you.     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?"
