"Many brands struggle with resellers because of liability issues, compliance concerns, and lack of control over listings. But as a reseller, if you can position yourself as a problem-solver, not a problem, you can earn their trust."

We discuss how to address brand pain points, including creating Amazon-only SKUs, improving compliance, and running data-driven ads to add real value. Robyn also explains why transparency is your strongest weapon when building trust: "It’s not about getting engaged on the first date; brands want to know you bring real value to the table."

Key Topics:

👉 Why brands often resist resellers—and how to change their minds.

👉 How Amazon’s focus on compliance is reshaping the marketplace.
👉 Strategies for resellers to stand out and add value.
👉 The future of resellers in a maturing Amazon ecosystem.

Robyn also highlights the importance of diversifying beyond Amazon and understanding your role in a brand's broader e-commerce strategy. Whether you’re a reseller trying to stand out or a brand deciding whether to work with resellers, this episode is packed with insights you can’t afford to miss.
