Silent Sales Machine Radio #991: Should you try to WIN the buy box or sell ABOVE the buy box on Amazon?
Are you "buy box" obsessed when it comes to winning sales on Amazon?You don't have to be! You can win steady sales WITHOUT winning the buy box!
This strategy has been proven over and over in our community, but it's certainly not the ONLY strategy we love for building a beautiful business on Amazon!
It's true - we've been providing ample evidence for a couple years now that wise Amazon sellers and ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that you can completely ignore the buy box and sell easily sourced boring products for prices well above competing sellers who sell the same item, but...
In our excitement in sharing these examples sometimes our students are left with the impression that we favor this "above buy box" strategy above other fantastic pricing and sourcing strategies.
Let's get to the bottom of the confusion! Our Guest on today's show is a great coach on our team, Grant Douglas. He uses both strategies as does our host Jim. They discuss the benefits advantages and disadvantages of both winning the buy box as well as opening up the doors to millions of new ASINs instantly by playing with "above buy box" strategies.
