Silent Sales Machine Radio

Today's guest is aiming for $750K at great margins in 2026 as a reseller and he's doing it as a one man show - with a full-time "real job" as well! He put in the work starting in 2024, but now his business requires only about 3-5 hours per week to maintain and he's on a roll. He uses a prep center and never touches his inventory - proving just how flexible and scalable this business model truly is!

At one point he says,

"Finding great products to sell isn't the challenge - finding enough money to buy them all is the hurdle"

Prepare to be inspired and encouraged with plenty of specific tips and insights as well!

Two sellers pull up the same ASIN. Same Keepa chart. One buys, one walks and both think they're right. They're not. They're staring at the same data and seeing two completely different markets. Here's the problem: Amazon changed how it reports sales rank, and most sellers never updated their eyes. They're still counting rank drops like it's 2022, reading shadows on the wall instead of looking at what's actually there.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy show you how to see it.

You'll learn:

- The one number that quietly replaced rank drops and why it's a far more honest signal of real demand

- Why velocity is the starting line, not the finish line (and the 3-step check that keeps you from lighting $20 bills on fire)

- The geography edge hiding in ~30% of ASINs - how 150+ fulfillment centers create regional price gaps you can sell into, above the buy box

- Why testing isn't a cost to avoid - it's the only way to see what no tool or chart can tell you. The data was always there. The geography was always there. The sellers who learn to see it are playing a completely different game than the ones still reading the chart the old way.

It's not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.

Today's guest Geroge Dimitriou lives in Australia and is crushing it selling on Amazon.com U.S. without ever seeing or touching his inventory! He's sold millions worth of inventory at great margins without ever touching any of his products - and it's all "OA" (online arbitrage - aka, online sourcing). He uses a U.S. based prep center to receive the products he orders and has them shipped to Amazon FBA from there - which is the strategy that ProvenAmazonCourse.com students use if they are non-U.S. based students, as well as those who live in the U.S. who don't want to physically have to prep and manage their own inventory.

He's also the creator of AstorAdvancedAnalytics - a tool that's gaining popularity quickly especially among 3PMercury users!

Astro can scrape through massive product lists (i.e. a wholesale list) and find winning ASINs quickly. It's gaining a lot of popularity in our community of listeners so we thought it was time to have George on the show!

We discuss at length the "two steps to success" on Amazon for resellers which are:

1) FIND LOADS OF GREAT ASINS (which is what Astro helps with), and

2) LET SOFTWARE TELL YOU WHEN AND WHAT TO SELL AND MANAGE THE WORKFLOW OF YOUR BUSINESS (which is what 3PMercury does for you).

George will also be with us at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com which will be only the second time ever visiting the U.S. ,but we are excited to welcome him back to join us in Vegas in August - and we hope you can attend as well!

Today's guest: George Dimitriou

AI is here and it's changing Amazon reselling fast by making it possible to know which products you should be selling at any given time! You've heard us talking a lot lately about the NEW way to do Amazon reselling that allows you to track not just dozens or hundreds of products for purchase timing and profitability, but hundreds or even tens of thousands or more products (ASINs). Today we meet with the creator of 3PMercury.com software that has revolutionized and injected AI into the strategy of 100s of Amazon resellers, forever changing the way they are approaching Amazon selling.

We talk about the latest automations and excitedly announce the new shipping features that are coming soon! Now is the time to lock in your lifetime rate on this software before the price goes up to all new users later!

Three coaching calls in one week. Three different sellers. Same problem - they were all passing on ASINs because of what Keepa wasn't showing them. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the blind spots hiding in plain sight on every Keepa chart: the "dead" listing that's actually just chronically out of stock, the buy box price that changes depending on which region you're standing in, and the sales that happen at prices Keepa never even logs. The old signals, rank drops, offer counts, the national buy box, trained an entire generation of resellers to read the chart one way. Amazon changed the building. Keepa is still one window.

This episode is about learning to walk around to the other side.

New Amazon resellers often report that they struggle to find brands and products that they are eligible (ungated) to sell when they first get started as a new reseller on Amazon. There are incredible tools emerging right now that completely resolve that challenge - today I talk to the creator of a very effective, simple tool called MultiSellerPro - (visit SilentJim.com/msp for a discount).

MSP crawls the accounts of other Amazon sellers looking for qualified, ungated products and builds a constantly monitored catalog that over time alerts you as any gated brands/products become ungated - and that's just one of numerous features!

You're doing the work. You're following the playbook from the videos, the socials, the group platforms. And something still isn't clicking.

Here's what nobody's telling you: a lot of that advice was accurate 5 or 10 years ago. Some of it still is. Some of it isn't. And nobody's sorting it out for you.

In the kickoff to a four-part Coach's Corner series, Brian and Robin Joy lay out the four shifts Amazon quietly built into the platform while the older content kept aging in place. None of them are hacks. All of them are visible to anyone paying attention.

1. Why the rank-drop chart you learned to read is now the wrong line to watch, and which line is right

2. How Amazon's 150 fulfillment centers create regional pricing variation Keepa can't show you

3. What the "Panic Window" is, why your repricer can't see it, and how it ends in the Prime Window

4. Why the sweet spot most sellers walked past sits at 50 to 200 units a month, not the high-velocity targets the old content chased

Each of the four shifts gets its own deep-dive episode in the coming weeks. This one is the map.

Plus, the Plato's Allegory of the Cave moment that frames the whole shift, and a Wayne Dyer line that lands it.

It's not the work. It's the playbook. Let's go test more ASINs.
