Silent Sales Machine Radio

Today's episode is an interview with another successful Amazon seller from our community who built a great business and then he saw a need that many other sellers required.

He began small and grew to be a large supplier of reseller supplies - specifically, poly bags!

This is a great example of what happens when you get into our community and build relationships and solve the challenges that you and others are facing. There's always a way to expand and add to your income streams when you're in e-commerce!

After selling $75 million in services, products and coaching over 24+ years and growing a robust, healthy, globally dispersed leadership team, I'm ready to start teaching others what I've learned about effective online leadership and influence.

Today Jim's mom joins us on the show to talk about the impact of 3PMercury on Amazon reselling and encourage sellers on what's no possible!

If you didn't realize it, Judy Cockrum has been running Jim's online selling businesses for many years and she's quickly become one of the most valuable coaches on the team as well for those seeking to learn 3PMercury!

It's been a family affair for the Cockrum crew for over 20 years and Judy gives valuable insights and tips based on her years of experience in the Amazon reselling arena.

She discusses the evolution of Amazon reselling as 3Pmercury has changed the way sellers find opportunity and manage their businesses. We've come a long way from the days of managing spreadsheets and scanning barcodes as Amazon resellers and the latest strategies are making the game better all the time as the opportunity continues to explode!

Today's guest Judy Cockrum

Today we meet another very successful coaching student of ours who has built an incredible eight figure business on Amazon after going full-time a couple years ago. His specialty now is in going directly to brands to negotiate great deals. He shares the exact strategies he's using as well as the story of how it all came together.

He agrees that right now is arguably the best time ever to get into reselling with so many brands leaving the doors wide open for resellers - and more new brands coming on board Amazon constantly. The doors are wide open!

Today's guest: Stephanie Beringhele

We've turned a SKEPTIC with serious concerns into a RAVING FAN who is CRUSHING IT!

The backstory: A few months ago I posted in invitation in our large Facebook group inviting ANY SKEPTICS to please step forward.

I wanted anyone who had "heard bad things" about being an Amazon reseller. The scarier the stories the better! I wanted a true skeptic who didn't want to get into Amazon reselling because they had a lot of big questions and had heard a lot of scary things about the business.

I found a volunteer and interviewed him on this show about 9 months ago (link in show notes). Jump forward to today, and he's CRUSHING IT and LOVING the business! His most recent month he did $35K at 15% net margin from his 3Pmercury ASINs.

As with many other students are recently saying, he's "finding more profitable inventory than I can possibly invest in".

He loves and is using 3PMercury and MSP (https://3pmercury.com/friends / SilentJim.com/msp), so we also have on the show today the founder of MSP, Ido Friedman

This is an episode that's sure to inspire! If you'd like to talk over your options for getting started, visit SilentJim.com/bookacall We'd love to meet you and build out a custom roadmap for your success!

Second upload with tech issues on the first -

The three challenges we see newer (and many experienced sellers) facing are:

Ungating challenges

Sourcing 1,000s of great ASINs at a time

Finding the "gold" in your large list of ASINs

If you can solve these three challenges, you have a profitable Amazon reselling business. We've seen the pattern OVER and OVER again and you've heard it on our podcast!

Today we are excited to break down these three challenges and show you that they've all been SOLVED! We have a three-day workshop coming up soon (virtual/recorded) that will get you details and step-by-step strategies for each of these three hurdles.

Get into this bootcamp NOW (sooner is better) and get started today! Details here: SilentJim.com/bootcamp

Also – plan to join us in Las Vegas in August for our live event! Thousands of Amazon sellers and ecommerce warriors on location at the largest trade show of the year with a million products and dozens of wholesalers. It's going to be incredible!
