Silent Sales Machine Radio

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy dive deep into one of the most common questions they hear from coaching clients: Can you just give me a step-by-step guide to success? Spoiler alert—business doesn’t work that way! They explore why every entrepreneur’s journey is unique and why success isn’t about following a rigid formula but rather about embracing the process, refining your skills, and building a business that fits you. From analogies about learning to swim, lifting weights, and racing in NASCAR to real-life stories of Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, and Walt Disney—this episode is packed with motivation, insight, and practical advice. Tune in to hear: Why success isn’t about mechanics—it’s 80% mindset. The power of persistence and why not quitting is the ultimate strategy. How to embrace discomfort as part of your growth. Why business success is more like training for a marathon than following a recipe. If you're looking for clarity, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on building your Amazon business (or any business), this episode is for you! Listen now and take the next step in your journey!

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy dive deep into Amazon sourcing strategies, the power of Keepa, and why flipping the script on traditional profit prediction can transform your business. They discuss the importance of capital protection over profit forecasting, how to leverage Keepa’s data effectively, and why volatility in the buy box can be an opportunity, not a risk.   Plus, Brian shares his excitement about 3P Mercury and how it’s revolutionizing sourcing by filtering ASINs based on approval status, capital protection, and profit potential. If you're looking for ways to streamline your sourcing process and scale your Amazon business with confidence, this episode is packed with valuable insights.   Topics Covered: Why Amazon restricts new sellers & how to build trust The key difference between capital protection and profit prediction How Keepa’s pricing history helps sellers make smarter decisions The power of testing ASINs and why historical pricing isn’t always the full picture The game-changing features of 3P Mercury for lead filtering and sourcing efficiency How to build business momentum and avoid common pitfalls   Ready to rethink your Amazon sourcing strategy? Tune in now!   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Am I big enough of a seller to justifying putting a policy/legal expert on a monthly retainer?

The wind is at our back Amazon sellers! All indicators are clearly pointing to a bright future, an expanding landscape of opportunity and an abundance of new strategies that we can leverage for success!   That's right - if you are an ecommerce warrior selling on Amazon, Walmart or any other platform as a reseller (or using just about any other strategy for that matter), the game is shifting in OUR favor right now and I think I can prove it!   Here's a list of some of the indicators that I think point to very bright future for Amazon resellers: E-commerce forecasts are really strong - the strongest they've ever been! Amazon is nearly 50% of all online shopping and yet there's still so much room for them to grow and continue to increase on their approximate 8% of retail spending in the US. We are seeing incredible success stories from returning podcast guests who've been around a long time as well as the newest students who are crushing it... and those successful sellers from the ProvenAmazonCourse.com community are pouring in right now! We are learning just how much UNDERSERVED SHELF SPACE there is at Amazon's 100s of warehouses - there's so much room for so many more sellers to jump in! Taxation and economic factors are in our favor Amazon is getting CLEARER about policy and is enforcing that policy more CONSISTENTLY so that there aren't really any surprises The tools of our industry are maturing and making the heavy lifting easier! (aka SilentJim.com/thesystem )- soon we will so so many more sellers being able to find buyers for their replens/reselling businesses! Amazon is actively incentivizing new sellers to come on board! They know they need help putting inventory on the warehouse shelf space! They are trying to keep up with Walmart's growth pace... and we win regardless! That's right, Walmart is emerging and we love teaching the strategy while is still low hanging fruit I talk through all this and more on today's episode.
