"I run out of inventory money WAY before I run out of great products I can sell" - a quote from our guest today.   On this episode we talk to another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is VERY part time, but it's not just the profits from his Amazon business that he's enjoying - he also loves all the credit card points he's collecting! As a matter of fact, the opportunity to maximize the use of points was the driving reason he even got into Amazon selling! His goal was to merely break even and enjoy all the points, but he's raking in nice profits as well!   With a very part-time effort he's found 114,000 viable products to load into 3PMercury and he says he has "pages and pages" of great products he can buy at any given time.   This is yet another coaching student success story as well!

Regardless of if you live inside or outside of the U.S., it's irrelevant when it comes to building a great Amazon reselling business on Amazon(.com), and today's guest is just another example that proves it!

  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? (HINT: It's not scary)" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/WelNodAdn70   Show NOTES:  ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.
