#850: A live Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students

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. What can you do to get your account health score up?   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here:  https://youtu.be/EhrVSAVCVHo   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   ProvenAmazonCourse.com/100 - Path to 100 ASIN's - The Replens Accelerator workshop that Brian and Robin Joy teach live this August!   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!

#849: Seven core competencies of an Amazon Replens seller on Coaches Corner

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!
