#839: Step by step: Build a system to methodically locate the winning products on Amazon among the billion available

In the typical Amazon replens business, there are three governing factors, they are time, money, and ASINs and each crucial to building and maintaining a successful business.   In this episode, Brian & Robin Joy also introduce the "7 Core Competencies of Amazon Replens" series, which highlights essential skills needed in the following areas: sourcing, shopping, prepping, shipping, repricing, replenishing, and business acumen, emphasizing the need for proficiency in all areas either individually or as a team.   The "Sourcing Competency" specifically requires a deep dive into thousands of ASINs, categorizing them into viable, test-worthy, and replenishable, with a focus on thorough evaluation and continuous testing to identify those that can be consistently replenished.   This methodical approach is important for building a sustainable inventory and winning performance in a marketplace where, as Robin Sharma notes, "There’s a ton of competition at ordinary, but there’s almost none at extraordinary."   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses Account Health and how the scores are calculated.

Recently, the business building warriors of our Amazon/e-commerce community gathered along with many of our entire families in Orlando Florida. Over 700 people attended this event and enjoyed the city along with an incredible three day event that featured dozens of breakout sessions on numerous Amazon/e-commerce related topics. About half of the event was Amazon focused and the other half focused on several unique yet related "multiple income stream" ideas that are among the time-tested and proven strategies used in our community.   On today’s new podcast episode, we assembled a panel of coaches and conference speakers who both attended and contributed to the success of the most recent "Proven Conference" event. While there are only five of us on this call representing the dozens who presented, our conversation today was a fantastic discussion about the benefits of attending our live events and workshops, some great highlights and takeaways from the event as well as some great stories from the experiences we had.   If you were unable to attend the "Proven Conference" event, this is a great episode to listen to in order to get a feel for what it’s like to attend one of our live events or workshops.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/usrBdtDhnCI   Show note LINKS:   SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 75,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

These are some thoughts and actions that they plan to leverage in their business in the coming year.

During our recent live event in Orlando, Florida (The Proven Conference), we had dozens of amazing breakout sessions. One of the sessions was an introduction to the content that is coming soon regarding our unique strategies for success selling on Walmart.com. We are seeing tremendous results among many of the great Amazon selling leaders and students on our team as they begin to integrate Walmart into their online selling strategy.   We remain increasingly excited about Amazon simply because of the sheer volume of transactions that happen every day (about 50% of all ecommerce!), but Walmart is growing quite rapidly, even though Walmart is still considerably smaller than Amazon. The new opportunities presented by Walmart are the main topic of today’s mini episode.   Joseph Kelsey - a great coach on our team is basically finishing up the details of our new Walmart seller training course, and we will have it available for you soon~ Please visit this page in order to be kept up-to-date on all of the coming offers from our leadership team: SilentJim.com/comingsoon   NOTE: If you are a student of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course or if you are a coaching student, you will receive an extreme discount on any new content that we produce.   Enjoy this short overview discussion of why we are so excited about Walmart! https://provenamazoncourse.com/walmart   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/jqqePswyM0c     Show note LINKS:       SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   Proven Amazon Course -  https://ProvenAmazonCourse.com  Are you ready to be successful selling on Amazon?

Today's episode will inspire you to keep going in the midst of difficulty. Two of our coaches and directors of our JimCockrumCoaching.com program tell it like it is in business and what to do to keep going. Listen to the Olson's behind the scenes back story!    "Houston, we have a problem..." On April 13, 1970, Jack Swigert’s famous words marked a pivotal moment in the Apollo 13 mission, where an explosion turned a moon landing into a desperate fight for survival. The astronauts, with the ingenuity and determination of their ground team, used the Lunar Module as an improvised lifeboat, overcoming critical issues with limited resources. This story mirrors Brian Olson's journey in the Amazon business world, where persistence and innovative problem-solving turned early failures into remarkable success. Inspired by his unwavering commitment, Brian emphasizes the importance of setting concrete goals and being ready to face challenges head-on. His journey underscores that, much like the Apollo 13 mission, achieving great success often requires tenacity, creative thinking, and an unyielding belief that failure is not an option.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why does my account health number drop sometimes even though I didn't get any issues on my account?   Watch this video on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vN-qLeEhqhk   Show note LINKS:  JimCockrumCoaching.com  - Get a free session with a business consultant on our team at 1-800-994-1792 / 1-801-693-1688 or TEXT US at 385-284-7701 (US & Canada only for Text)  ALL of our coaches are running very successful businesses of their own based on the models we teach here!
