The Full-Time FBA Show - Amazon Reseller Strategies & Stories

Why does it seem that most wholesale brand owners will tell you "no" if you ask them to sell their items on Amazon? In today's episode, we'll break down why most brand owners don't like Amazon sellers to sell their inventory on Amazon and the step-by-step process of turning that "no" into an enthusiastic "yes!"

Not only will we share the steps that you need to take to convince a brand owner for you to sell their items on Amazon, but we'll also let you in on one of the greatest secrets to wholesale selling success: you actually want the brand owners to tell Amazon sellers "no" when they reach out to open wholesale accounts. Once you learn this secret, you'll be light years ahead of other sellers who simply give up when a wholesale brand owner refuses to let you sell their items on Amazon.

Today we are discussing how to increase your profits by thinking like an Amazon customer. We find out why Amazon is considered one of the most customer-friendly companies and how they achieve this. Looking at their return policies, user-friendly website, and customer reviews, we understand why they are a successful company.

When reflecting on our own journey of selling on Amazon, we teach the importance of minimizing making assumptions, scanning products and source data (even if you don't think you should,) actively opening your eyes to products you may normally overlook, and keeping a look out for clearance and sales. We know you could never eliminate having items returned, but we start to understand how to minimize this by changing our perspective from thinking purely about profits. Join us to learn how to increase your profits, decrease your returns, and have happy customers!
