Michael is a very knowledgeable and professionally trained designer, you will learn that very quickly after talking with him. His design experience coupled with a successful Amazon business has really prepared him well to offer design, photography and listing services. In order to get incredible results you have to have everything right, that means the best product of course but you have to effectively communicate that and on Amazon it is not always a price issue, many times it is the quality of the photos and the description in the listing. Michael and Chris have written a comprehensive book on design (specific to Merch) and it will give you a chance to speak the same language as your designer. Brianna Moller Greene tells us that is where she struggled until she met Michael. He was able to get her and her designer on the same page and now she is crushing Merch. If you are thinking Merch, spend the $15.00 (I do not make anything on this) and learn what you don't know, then communicate effectively with your designer to bring products that work and that you want to market.

Barbara has been preparing for an eCommerce business for a long time! She saw her mother and her father have their own business, she worked in the corporate world in M & A and saw entrepreneurs first hand. She has been able to use her acquired knowledge, her ability to work under pressure, her ability to adapt (also under pressure) and finally her ability to overcome all challenges as thy fly at her. We spend most of the conversation breaking down selling on Jet. The start, adjustments needed, the ups and downs, the future and the real potential of selling on this new platform. To me the greatest skills she has mastered in this process are her abilities to adapt to the differences in the new versus established marketplaces. Trust me, there are many so knowing how to adapt will serve her well in the future.

Bver is actually answering more questions than asking them this year. It's amazing to see what research, hard work, focus and intensity can do for your business. Bver has doubled his sales, has figured out so much more of what NOT to do and his results show it. We spend time catching up on how his business is doing, accountability groups, we spend time answering questions and he tries to talk all of us out of using Amazon.ca. Btw.. check out the website as I added a ton of photos from Bver's lair! (den?) :)
