Great interview with Mark and Kieran who are tasked with adding an eCommerce division to an existing wholesale model. Surprise it is not easy and they have to push hard for resources. No surprise that companies are slow to add an unproven eCommerce division, but these guys are finding their way and adding at a slow and steady pace.

Ok long title but this software offer a lot. Imagine using Facebook to bring customers to your product (your link) on Amazon! Sounds good huh? Even better this can help you get more reviews to help you get more sales. Yes we talk about terms of service, changes to them and the affect it has had. We also talk about NOT using the creepy backroom black hat techniques. Help your products sell and increase your sales velocity.

TJ did a great job stepping in for a sick colleague in this interview. He clearly understands our business and offers some good insight into changes in the worldwide marketplace. Definitely worth seeing if you can get savings here, remember every % point counts. Also see if you can get better rates to pay for private label items.

I love how adding another market is just a simple checklist for Adam. Most of us get hung up on signing up while he just knocks down another one. Adam has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share. Pay attention to our conversation about how he (and others) created a group. Look for the traits you have or want to have.

When you think Seller Labs you think of Jeff Cohen, we all do. Seeing him in that white lab coat for years at EVERY event every week, every state has that affect. Most people never have heard of Brandon Checketts. Brandon and Paul Johnson, (the other partner you never saw) intentionally set it up that way. They saw in Jeff what we see, a natural spokesman everyone likes, a gifted connector. I think that's why Brandon is a great leader, he recognized he needed to let someone else step into a role (that might seem to naturally be his) but maybe someone else could be better. A very difficult thing to do but man oh man look at the result. A fast growing company that has pivoted many times (we talk about them), has had some ups and some downs (we talk about them). And a very personal battle that Brandon and his family have been fighting (and winning) all while the business he started with a weekend of coding (crazy talk to me) goes forward in bigger and better ways.

The reason I took this interview is I liked Bart's story and approach. He gets what we do, just on a bigger scale. He is working with much larger companies to build out a strategy, they need one, into the ecommerce world. Bigger sku count brings bigger problems. But being intentional, focused and strategic can save you a lot of time and money. (same thing in our world) I see some of you heading into this world and opening up this type of "Big Sky" thinking can bring us all a better view. Also check out their podcast and blog. Great information there about other conferences. (Not all Amazon focused)

Anthony has a great story, one which will inspire you to get past any issues going on in your life.  He rose up and over (sometimes through) challenges and issues from the age of 16 onward. Best part is he knows that he can overcome anything with a plan and tenacity. Having faith in ones abilities allows you to be so much more. Get ready to be inspired.

I love the interviews where I can look in their eyes to see the reactions to my questions. When you see the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about him, when he looks sheepishly towards her admitting he fell short a time or two. Guess what that's real! That's what a real relationship can and should be. Both partners rowing the same way, almost in unison. Now that might be a dream that you think I am pushing, but consider the alternative and then take the leap.

 

I think it is so refreshing to see couples like Brian and Marcy having so much success in our eCommerce world.
