Engineer quits job to travel full-time with Amazon REPLENS system, no inventory touch. Success stories shared, coaching services promoted, ID verification importance discussed. Transition from engineering to Amazon business, strategic networking, identity verification tips, conference announcements.

After having coached thousands of students over 20 years with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com and our coaching program, we've noticed many patterns among those who go on to build sustained success and those who struggle or never make it at all.   One of the biggest keys that ensures you'll go far and do quite well is an often disregarded, yet highly relevant factor that is so vital it's worth reminding our students about repeatedly.   RELATIONSHIPS!   There are actually seven key relationships we've identified that our most successful students seem to all have top of mind. Likewise, it seems struggling entrepreneurs seem to consistently have one or more of these key relationships out of alignment or out of focus.   If you want to maximize your e-commerce and Amazon business, ideally you'll have all these relationships in a healthy state: community (associates), mentor(s), an apprentice, a coach, suppliers, team and family.   Let's talk about it on today's podcast episode.

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.   Jim shares how the team has coached over 10,000 students and there are so many success stories pinned at the top of the My Silent Team Facebook page! Jim discusses how we start practically all new sellers with the Replens Model - which basically means we are filling the underserved shelf space at Amazon. Jim likes to use the phrases “test worthy listings” or sell at break even (worst case scenario). Jim has posted MANY examples.   A guest shares how she is building her business but is discouraged with her profits so she asks Jim how she can improve her numbers. Picking losers is a great way to pick winners!” - it’s a learning process! Robin Joy discusses the Kick Start Bootcamp, which is 4 group coaching sessions for sellers who have purchased The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) to help them get up and running The listener asks Jim if the “new selection recommendation list” (a list of ASINs that Amazon provides) is a good idea to use? Jim explains how there are “good ways” and “bad ways” to use these lists as well as leads lists/buy lists.   The guest has questions about shipments going to multiple fulfillment centers (FC), which Coach Robin Joy answers. Jim also answers the guest’s questions about hiring a VA, Jim recommends listening to Podcast #714 for a more thorough discussion!: “Very practical lesson learned after working with numerous overseas virtual assistants who help run my business.”   Jim, head of Coaching Matt Thompson and Coach Jim is so excited about 2024 and shares several new and upcoming things that everyone can look forward to! Matt Thompson and Robin Joy discuss the pros and cons of The 100 ASIN challenge vs coaching in response to a guest’s question.   The guest asks Jim about an issue he is having when he sends his inventory into FBA. He mentions how the “fear points” that sellers have are often new opportunities to learn from! Coach Matt shares the following mantra when working with replens: “Some will, most won’t, next…”    Jim answers a listener's question, “I’m new, what do I do here?” Watch the following modules in the PAC: 1) Amazon 2) The Replens Course 3) Advanced Keepa training. Jim explains what the Replens model is and that the Kick Start program can be joined at any point once the PAC is purchased!   Show note LINKS:   Get a free business growth consulting session with an e-commerce consultant on our coaching team.

For a few years now we've had a strategy we've loved sharing with our ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students that interestingly seems to be more easily grasped by our students who have LESS Amazon selling experience.   Experienced sellers seem to struggle with this "above the buy box" concept because it's so simple that it goes over their heads quite often as they attempt to over complicate it!   A bit of background: Did you know that every day on Amazon millions of shoppers are NOT looking for the lowest price on any given product, but they are looking for the FASTEST DELIVERY! Once you understand that Amazon has nearly 200 warehouses around the U.S. it starts to make sense that there's no way these various warehouses can meet the speed demands of the millions of shoppers without help.   Understanding these factors means there's a simple, massive opportunity right under your nose that you're almost certainly ignoring unless you've heard our "above the buy box" strategy explained. Today's episode breaks it down for you!   At the end of this episode you'll hear from someone who has been in ecommerce 26 years who has an incredible business model that I'm eager to share with you - you can also come meet our guest "Brandon" in Orlando at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com event in May!

If there's one rule of thumb with ecommerce it's this: Things are always changing.   There's one business model however that we have been bullish about for the past 6+ years and we continue to be increasingly excited about for the future as Amazon needs sellers with this skills set more and more!   The evidence is strong as student success stories continue to roll in! I'm talking about the REPLENS business model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.   Perhaps you've heard many of the 100's of success stories from the students of the Proven Amazon Course REPLENS strategy on our podcast, but did you know that we've recently made major investments into updating the "PAC" course? We've been adding dozens of new, specific strategies as well as overhauling the "tech" to help make your experience as an Amazon selling student as powerful and prosperous as possible!   Today I spend time talking to Jimmy Smith who is the leader on our team who systemized the REPLENS model nearly 5 years ago. We talk about what we've learned and how we've made your odds of success with the models we teach even better with the big recent changes we've made.   We also have news for you about the coming live event in May (TheProvenConference.com) as well updates on the other unique services we provide Amazon sellers and the ecommerce community we serve.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/r674OCqLSAY   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   SilentSalesMachine.com - text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentsalesmachine.com/ssm11/ffv11/!   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. In this segment we discuss both our Amazon Influencer training and our Branded Bundles training. We also include the benefits of attending our annual live event.    We covered episode #731 - While recovering 18 months from back surgery, she built incredible Amazon income streams. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast   Jim tells listeners how they can get a free copy of his updated book - Silent Sales Machine by texting the word “free” to 507-800-0090 or visiting https://silentsalesmachine.com/ssm11/ffv11   The guest discusses how she started her Amazon business with a Private label branded bundle item. It’s important to note that it’s NOT recommended that new sellers start with PL. Both Jim’s free podcast, as well as The Proven Amazon Course (PAC), are great places for newer sellers to start.    The guest discusses her background and how she got into e-commerce to begin with and then how Covid, followed by a big back surgery, launched her into being a business building warrior through the many challenges she faced. The guest shares about her mastermind group and how they work together, collaborate, help and encourage each other. Jim discusses the https://provenazinfluencer.com course and the https://provenbrandedbundles.com course.    The guest is utilizing both of these models as streams of income Jim and the guest discuss the Amazon Influencer Program in more detail using Amazon’s platform Jim and the guest discuss the upcoming Proven conference - May 23-25, 2024. More information can be found at: https://theprovenconference.com.   The guest highlights benefits from attending a past conference - building relationships, learning content and identifying areas she wants to learn more about. Jim discusses “right ideas” vs “good ideas.” The guest also discusses the combination of being a brand owner as well as a an influencer, at which point Jim has a lightbulb moment how these two courses complement each other.   Jim asks the guest to share why she feels The Proven Conference stands above other conferences:  1) it digs deep on content in a way you can move your business forward (as opposed to superficial teaching) 2) some changes are needed with the timing of the VIP program and 3) some suggestions for an “inspiration track!” The guest really encourages new sellers to join a mastermind and Jim emphasizes turning our focus outward to help others!
