eCommerce Momentum Podcast

Jeff is an Actor at heart, but a strong seller by day. He has been able to finally (his words) find a way to support his dreams without risking the bank, how he can pursue his true calling; Acting, while being the great husband and father he is. This is a raw interview where an open honest man shows his true feelings. Jeff is vulnerable, emotional and undeniably real, tough for a man but we will all be better for his honesty and candor. Jeff is a Haunt Actor (Now we know what they are called) currently but is still using his Amazon business to keep his passion alive. A true lifestyle entrepreneur!

This was a new type of interview for me: Remote location at a conference, sitting across from the interviewee(s) where they could see my reaction and I could see theirs and more than one person. Whew! Thank goodness I picked the right couple, they made it easy. Make no mistake about it, they each would be successful in this business, no doubt in my mind, however they would go about it in different ways. Michael would be all over the place, trying everything (successfully though for sure), whereas Britni would plan every step and methodically grow successfully. That is what makes them such a powerful force, they add-on to each others skills and fill-in any shortfalls (small as they would be). I loved the respect they had for each other, they do not always agree, but they have established boundaries and know how to compromise. This is the podcast that everyone currently working with their significant other or thinking about it will get the most from. This will help you stay together, you will realize you are not so different, just maybe the way you handle things are. All can be fixed when you work together!

Brenden and PrimeZeroPrep have exploded into the FBA world with incredible growth and quick success. He walks us through their process (He credits his partners skillset!), how they have focused on improving every step of the way and how they will not grow until they have mastered every step in their business. Being from New Hampshire, a sales tax free state, they can help make it easier to do Online Arbitrage by avoiding that hassle. While there is a large waiting list, you can get on it as they do plan on adding another group early next year. I suggest asking around to find out why others are using (and not leaving) PrimeZeroPrep. What I really liked about this interview was the respect they showed to John Bullard of Myinventoryteam (He called him the Godfather of Prep services) and the admiration of his success.

John Bullard has quickly expanded his family business and role in the eCommerce world. His early start selling on Ebay at a large scale and then being one of the early Amazon FBA users has given him the confidence and skills necessary to expand into the Prep and Ship business on a large level. When you have a conversation with John, you quickly realize he knows his stuff and is very passionate about the quality of service that he gives his customers, they are family to him. If you are looking to expand beyond Amazon onto your own website, Ebay, Etsy, Rakuten, or Amazon overseas, then John and his team might be the right group to help you achieve your goals. John's also venturing into Co-op buying and even a Co-op sourcing finder fee where you get paid to find deals with no money out of your pocket. He really does know how to network.

Randy's education and experience have prepared him well for selling on FBA. His portfolio approach to managing inventory mix, his precise tracking, his investment strategy and his understanding of repricing are deeper than most other sellers I have spoken to. His focused, driven and most importantly calculated approach to process improvement are all lessons we can learn and Randy shares many of them for you to benefit from.
