    Today's guest: Ed Dassie

  • In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show.

    Today's guest only learned of Amazon REPLENS just a few short months ago. She's a busy mom working full-time and pursuing a business degree but she's managed to just have a very healthy five figure month on Amazon using the strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.

    We covered episode #775 - Busy mom pursuing a college degree while also building a beautiful Amazon business. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast

    Highlights include:

    Jim gives some introductory information: www.theprovenconference.com in order to register for the annual conference - May 23-25, 2024 in Orlando, FL!

    Book a free call with Jim’s team regarding coaching (every coach has their own successful Amazon business!) www.silentjim.com/bookacall

    The guest details her journey in the e-commerce world which started with Mercari and Poshmark before she found Amazon. She discusses ASD in Las Vega. Now that it’s the beginning of 2024, she is re-evaluating how to keep the momentum going and how to continue to grow!

    The guest shares with Jim that during December, her sourcing was about 40% wholesale and 60% RA/OA. Jim encourages her to keep the wholesale going since she has already learned a lot (typically we do not recommend new sellers start with wholesale). But Jim REALLY encourages the guest to focus on the low hanging fruit while she is trying to ramp up and to do more RA and OA! Jim recommends Podcast #369 for all things Keepa! The guest mentions Seller Amp, which estimates sales per month (from Keepa data). Jim reminds the listeners to not get emotionally attached to any ASINs!

    The guest had an incredibly busy Q4 with merchant fulfilling her sales! Jim then asks the guest what her process is for finding winning ASINs! The guest shares that she uses reverse sourcing and Jim affirms that this is an acceptable method to find test worthy ASINs

    The guest shares how she found out that her boyfriend’s boss sells on Amazon as well. She was excited to know someone so close who is doing the same thing! Reminder that you can use the My Silent Team Facebook page to find other sellers located close to where you live! - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam/posts/4243062552476489/

    The guest asks for Jim’s favorite book recommendations (aside from the Bible!): Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin. (The Rabbi is going to be the keynote speaker at The Proven Conference May 23-25, 2024!)

    The Blessed Life and Beyond Blessed by Pastor Robert Morris - which have to do with stewardship. Entreleadership by Dave Ramsey

    The guest asks Jim about inventory management and how best to go about handling all the moving pieces! Jim recommends Podcast #754 with Khang (who is coming out with new software- www.silentjim.com/system). Replen Dashboard is another good option (Jimmy Smith).

  • In a recent popular facebook post we discussed the most common ways we see especially new sellers on Amazon FAIL. Many mistakes are common among even the most experienced sellers as well however.

    The Facebook post took on a bit of a life of its own with some great participation from the community.

    The bottom line is this -if you avoid these common "traps" your odds of building a great business goes WAY up as you've heard from 100s of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students on other episodes of our show!

  • We’ve identified 10 reasons why especially new Amazon sellers (or sellers who are struggling) on Amazon should find as many ASINs (new products) to test as possible and they should do it as soon as possible in order to make their odds of success as great as possible.

    While this may seem obvious, we’ve observed that many sellers try to find a handful of magic products that will boost them into the business they desire. Rarely is that what happens however. On today’s episode, we dive into the reasons you should find numerous products to test as well as some strategies for doing exactly that.

    Here are 10 Reasons you should build a strong foundation as quickly as possible

    1. Hard to find averages when going ASIN by ASIN
    Book of biz leads to Averages leads to predictability.
    Increasing profits and decreasing expenses is much more impactful on a book of business than on a few ASINs.

    2. Diversity
    A solid foundation allows for branching out while maintaining revenues.
    There are so many different categories and subs that we will never run out of new areas to source in.

    3. IPI Score
    A foundational book of business helps you understand the metrics that make up the IPI Score
    Helps keep level inventory numbers.

    4. Anything can happen to any ASIN
    When you have only a few ASINs, anything that happens to any ASIN can really hurt.
    When there are more ASINs, the overall impact is smaller.

    5 Keeps risk low
    Spreading your risk over many different listings can make the risk of losing all much lower and the chances of profiting overall much higher.

    6. Easier to outsource
    Putting together a foundational book of business makes it much easier to compile standard operating procedures and best practices.
    When you outsource, it is much easier to hand that off.

    7. Economies of Scale
    AKA Critical Mass
    Helps with inbound transportation, purchasing supplies, paying contractors, justifying expenses and subscriptions

    8. Account Health Rating
    New sellers all start with a score of 200 and anything less than 200 is
    Any policy adherence issues deduct points from your score.
    Increase score by 4 points for every 200 successful sales in a rolling 180-day period.
    Riskiest time is when trying to build that first 200 sales so get it done as quickly as possible.

    9. Lifting of restrictions
    How many stories have we heard about sellers who had things ungated and they didn’t even know? They were just open one day. This is what happens when you focus on working with what you have available to you.

    10. Make more money!
    Isn’t this why we’re all here?
    Let’s make some car payments, some house payments
    Let’s bring moms and dads home!

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What is "section three" and why was it such a big deal a few months ago? What have we learned?

  • Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

    Here are several summary answers recorded for you:

    Jim gives what he calls an “infomercial” to launch this Facebook live! The My Silent Team Facebook group now has 75,000 members strong! Jim has about 60 coaches on his team, all of whom have their own robust Amazon businesses! Jim has earned a living from e-commerce alone for over 20 years and he loves what he does!

    Jim introduces Nathan Bailey, who has worked with him for 20 years now (primarily in the coaching department)! “The mission is bigger than the man” in this community and we really want everyone to succeed! Jim shares the candlelight vs cake mentality which is a poverty vs abundance mindset that we really emphasize in this community! Jim and Nathan explain the “inch deep, mile wide” approach that we want new sellers to follow when starting. Podcast episode 554 talks about the “selling above the buy box” strategy.

    Jim outlines 3 red flags to be on the lookout for when reading Keepa: If listed as a generic brand - do not list on it!! (means it is likely mis-branded) Jim discusses pricing requests that Amazon sometimes makes and how to handle those The guest asks Jim about product safety certificates and how he should go about handling the situation. Jim recommends listening to Podcast episode 754 to hear about the possibilities with the Replens model. Coach Nathan Bailey answers the guest’s questions about trademarks and also shares his business which can help further with these questions - https://humnbird.com

    For more experienced sellers, Jim outlines some additional ways to make an online income including consulting work - https://provenproductpartnering.com for more info. Also an Amazon influencer program - https://provenAZinfluencer.com for more info. The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) also has over 30 strategies for making money on Amazon! Jim reminds the listeners of our live event https://theprovenconference.com, which is coming May 2024. It will have over 40 break out sessions as well as many new strategies for Amazon selling!

    Jim explains in detail what “Replens” means and how it is the lowest hanging fruit opportunity to make money on Amazon! It is low risk, has the lowest price point for entry and the highest odds of success. It is essentially finding the underserved or “test worthy” ASINs on Amazon and “replenishing” the products as they sell. This is just one of many ways to make money on Amazon but it’s the best place for new sellers to start! Jim also highly recommends new sellers listen to the following Podcasts - Episodes 369 - Keepa; 554-555 - how to find good products to test; 612 - the 3 step test; 754 - an incredible scaling of a Replens business at https://silentjim.com/podcast

    Today's guest: Ammi Stover

  • Especially early on in your Amazon or ecommerce business building journey, being too "results-oriented" can lead to excess pressure and inconsistency. Learning to embrace a task-oriented approach gives you far more control and ultimately consistent success!

    You'll do far better if you learn to celebrate every step in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com journey by seeing the early, necessary steps as small victories that lead to an eventual financial results.

    Let's talk about it on today's all new "coaches corner" episode of the Silent Sales Machine Radio podcast.

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: When is it safe to sell on an ASIN that has "Generic" as the brand?

    Today's guest Grant Douglas - a great coach on the JimCockrumCoaching.com team

  • In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. In this segment we discuss both the upcoming Proven Conference and our Lego selling training program. We also include the benefits of selling toys online.

    Greg spoke at the 2023 virtual conference and will be speaking live at the May 23-25, 2024 Proven Amazon Conference in Orlando! 2011-2012 started Greg’s e-commerce journey when he needed to get money together for a house down payment! The 2014 Frozen movie really ramped up his eBay business before he then transitioned to selling those items on Amazon. And the rest is history!

    Jim talks about how there are so many ways to make money online but focuses specifically on Lego sales with this guest! They also discuss the new course called provenbrickinvesting.com! This course is geared for new sellers who have never sold Legos before - focusing on the terminology used, patterns or themes to look for, life cycles and retiring sets, where to buy them, how to store them, etc. “Dollar density” is a phrase that is used to describe the approach the guest takes

    The guest outlines what this new course is going to look like!:

    Session 1 - introduction and general concepts

    Session 2 - discussion of the real meat and potatoes of the program/how it works/how to get ungated, etc.

    Session 3 - things you may not think about/technical discussion/how to store them, etc

    The guest also discusses “store exclusives” - which provides another level of scarcity for the supply and demand of the sets. Jim talks about how this is really the 1st course they’ve done that uses this approach of: “buy strategically, hold and then sell.” Jim is really excited about the addition of another income stream available to his community!

    Jim asks the guest how he handles his “duds” - eBay and Walmart.com are alternatives the guest uses if/as needed

    Jim discusses how there will also be a Facebook community for the sellers who take this course and also addresses international sellers and if this Lego course is doable for them - which it absolutely is! Jim and the guest also discuss getting/being ungated in Legos.

  • In my hometown and in many other places as well there’s an item which is sold by the hundreds or more every day for several dollars each, yet strangely….

    ANYONE can get the exact same item in any quantity they'd like packaged the exact same way FOR FREE just a couple hundred yards away.

    Does that make any sense at all to you? It's true. I'll tell you exactly where it's happening on today's new podcast. This lesson will help you understand one of the under-used Amazon selling strategies we teach and use.

    It’s true…

    Every day millions of shoppers on Amazon pay way more than they have to for the items they want. Until you understand the mind of the Amazon shoppers and how grateful they are for CONVENIENCE, you will be overlooking millions of potentially profitable listings that you could sell against - it's one of the strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course!

  • While we really love to see business building warriors diving head first into self education, when it comes to selling on Amazon there are several very common mistakes you're likely to make if you try to go it alone and learn it all yourself.

    On today's episode I cover the top mistakes sellers make in regards to going too big too fast, thinking too small or creating a hamster wheel business model, or simply pursuing ideas that cause you to ultimately lose in the end in spite of the hype.

    We talk about dropshipping, selling liquidations on Amazon, scanning barcodes and selling books as well as the hot trend of "done for you" models and using "overhyped tools"!

    There's something for all Amazon sellers in this episode.

    369: Learn about keepa

    554: Learn to ignore the buy box and price high

    754: SilentJim.com/thesystem - the fully automated $3million Amazon replens (OA) system we can't wait to share with you!

  • Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

    Highlights collected by the team:

    Jim gives an overview of the community and why we recommend new sellers start with the Replens Model, which has a “low, low high” theme - low investment required, low learning curve and high odds of success! Jim also discusses the www.provenAZinfluencer.com program and how our community is getting excited about this newer program!

    Jim discusses how there are discounts available for PAC and coaching students Listeners can also email support for any questions or concerns: [email protected]

    Jim talks about how to use the MST Facebook page to find other sellers who are located close to you! He also highly recommends the Kick Start boot camp for those who have PAC as a way to jump start your business, meet other new sellers and create community with them! The Kick Start program is only $40 for 4 group coaching sessions - www.silentjim.com/kickstart.com and also has a private Facebook group so participants can connect! The Proven Conference is another great way to meet people and develop relationships that are so crucial to this business! www.theprovenconference.com Conference will be May 23-25, 2024 in Orlando!

    Jim talks about how important relationships are in this business and how it can be very lonely without them! The guest recommends a book called Fire Yourself First by Jeff Russell. Jim also recommends Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who will be the keynote speaker at this year's Proven Amazon Conference! As far as a recession goes, Jim’s advice is to not participate!!

    In May at the Proven Amazon Conference, Coaches Brian and Robin Joy are doing a workshop called 100 ASINs. They teach the 3 step check, 4 week test, to build a 5 figure business in 6 months if you are consistent! www.provenamazoncourse.com/100

    Jim has suggestions and a word of warning for a newer seller in terms of utilizing a VA. Jim and Coach Robin Joy also give some guidelines for listing bundles: do not set up new listings if you are a newer seller - too many risks involved. www.provenbrandedbundles.com for a specific course on bundles and how to do it correctly!

    New sellers often ask how to find profitable products but rather the question should be how to find “test worthy ASINs" or “underserved shelf space at Amazon!!” Jim has posted many examples on the My Silent Team Facebook page demonstrating exactly how this works! Jim recommends listeners go to Podcast #554 for an in depth discussion on this topic and Podcast #369 is a thorough discussion on Keepa!

    The guest mentions the 3 step check that Robin Joy teaches in order to determine “the worst case scenario.” (more info about this in Podcast #612). Jim talks about the pink line on the Keepa chart in making this decision

  • Not all of our ProvenAmazonCourse.com students go on to build beautiful businesses. While we are quite proud of the fact that THOUSANDS of sellers point to our coaching and content as having helped them build something special, and we are also proud to mention that we've interviewed hundreds of them on our podcast- the truth is, it doesn't always work out!

    While there are endless reasons why any business can ultimately fail, there's a common theme we've noticed among Amazon and e-commerce warriors who don't quite make it. I'd venture to guess that just about anyone who has "taken a shot at it" and come up short likely faced one or more of the threats we'll talk through on today's episode and failed to overcome it.

    It's good to be informed and avoid these common threats to your success!

  • On today's all new podcast episode we interview a couple who has been in our community as students of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com for about six years. They've seen periods of incredible success as well as some challenging times, but they've learned and grown and diversified their way into a nice business.

    They have some great stories to share about their journey and there's a little something for everyone as they discuss what's worked, what didn't work so well and where they are going from here. They've done it together as a couple and the sky is the limit for this dedicated team of two!

    They are picking up momentum currently on Walmart as well - a topic we plan to hit very heavily in some break out sessions at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com event in Orlando!

    Today's guest Kip and Wendy Sykes

  • In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show.

    We covered episode #763 From zero e-commerce experience to a multiple five figure biz in a few months.

    The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast

    This podcast features 53 year old twins Jerry and John, who have worked together for over 30 years! Jerry details how they found Jim Cockrum and what drew them to this community! John shares how they toyed with the idea of joining a “done for you program” but ended up not going that route - thankfully!

    Jim reiterates how so many programs (about 98%) are scams and a quick way to lose money. Jim recommends a “litmus test” before joining any program and that starts with finding their community and hanging out with them for a while.

    The guests share how they are doing both RA (retail arbitrage) and OA (online arbitrage). Jim talks about the “lightbulb moment” that happens when it clicks for new sellers. Jim mentions Podcast #744

    The guests share how when they 1st started. They also discuss how more brands became ungated for them when they reached about $7000 in sales. The guests talk about how they primarily do FBA now that they have proof of concept that this strategy works! Jim and the guests talk about the analogy with sports when it comes to Amazon selling

    The guest shares how he was skeptical going into his 1st conference because he is a “connoisseur of good leadership” Jim says that “leaders produce leaders!” and that leadership is a topic that he is very passionate about!

    The guest shares, as a new seller, he feels that finding test worthy ASINs is the #1 priority and Jim wholeheartedly agrees! Repricers are discussed as well Jim talks with the guests what to expect as their business grows! He recommends looking into branded bundles . Jim reminds everyone that a rising tide raises all ships!

    The guests ask Jim how he recommends increasing their sales to $100-$200k: Jim shares a Dave Ramsey principle about small businesses: The 1st person you hire should be someone who goes out and kills something and brings it back into the cave…”

    The guests share their thankfulness for Jim, his community and all the available help. Jim shares how he views his work as a ministry and how he loves what he does! Jim says how he doesn’t want followers but instead success stories coming out of this community!

    Jim has a discussion with vetted insurance agent Ashlin Hadden regarding insuring your Amazon business! This segment is packed full of information that all sellers should listen to!

  • Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student interview is with a guy who blasted past six figures in total sales pretty fast and you'll love hearing his inspirational story!

    He's following the REPLENS model and is really doing well with the "above buy box" method as you'll soon hear.

    As a matter of fact he recently sold 20 units in a single day of a product that was priced well above all the other sellers who were fighting over the "buy box" using the strategy that we teach in the PAC. He tells all about this strategies and how's he's gone form "clueless newbie" to Amazon selling success story in such a short time.

    Also note - he'll be at the TheProvenConference.com event in Orlando in May with 100s of other members of this community - plan to meet him there!
