In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, co-hosts Brian and Robin Joy tackle a game-changing topic: redefining what it means to "win" in the Amazon marketplace. They explore why chasing the buy box isn’t always the ultimate goal and reveal strategies for prioritizing profitability, timing, and data-driven decisions over emotional reactions.

Discover the power of the "prime window" and the In-Stock Head Start program, and learn how strategic planning can help you test, replenish, and grow your inventory sustainably. The duo shares actionable tips for developing and sticking to a plan, avoiding common pitfalls, and fostering long-term success in an ever-evolving online sales landscape.

Whether you’re a seasoned Amazon seller or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights to help you rethink your approach, make better decisions, and persist until you achieve your goals.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the seller space scams that are "too good to be true". Jeff explains how to watch out for these alluring "companies" and how to avoid them. There's a simple test recommended by Jim and Jeff which will vet any company you may want to partner with and it's free.

This just might be the highest margin inventory you will ever sell on Amazon. I'm talking about discontinued items where the DEMAND is rising and the SUPPLY is shrinking. Until now it's been a bit of a guessing game for most sellers to find the golden opportunities.

However, today on a new episode we discuss the incredible opportunities behind sourcing and selling discontinued items on Amazon.

Introducing the launch of:

ProvenDiscontinuedSourcing.com

You can even learn to source these right on Amazon, hold them for a few weeks or a couple months and flip them right back on Amazon at crazy markups as demand predictability soars...

It only makes sense that some items would go up in value once they stop being made. Are you selling any items like that? Do you have a system for finding them consistently?

What if you could get ahead of these discontinued trends and stock up a bit of the hottest items right before they vanish?

That's exactly what our guest today has been doing for several years with Incredible results.

He's selling products for $30 that he sourced for less than five. He's making net profit margins that are off the charts in many cases.

On today's new podcast episode we show you proven discontinued sourcing strategies.
