A coaching client got on Robin's calendar this week sitting at ~$10,000 a month in sales and feeling stuck. He's an engineer, so the math felt obvious: $50K is just $10K, five times over. Do what's working, five times as much, and you're there. Except that's the trap, and by the end of the call he said he felt like he'd been hit by a two-by-four. In the best way. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down why the playbook that built your foundation is the wrong playbook for your next floor, using a house Brian actually built as the map. Why $50K is a system, not a goal you can reach by wanting it five times more Why business grows like bamboo: nothing for years, then six feet overnight How your test-to-replens conversion rate tells you exactly how many ASINs to source for growth (and what a 50% "failure" rate is really telling you) Why looking at every ASIN makes you the bottleneck, and how to take off the employee hat before you scale The difference between high standards and self-sabotage, and why beating yourself up at night quietly tells you that you don't deserve it You didn't fail to grow. You just kept pouring concrete after it was time to build. Let's go test more ASINs. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "When is it VERY unsafe to sell textbooks on Amazon?"

A coaching client this week was grinding four hours a night, sitting on six ASINs he'd already vetted, and still couldn't pull the trigger. His words: "There's gotta be something I'm missing here." He wasn't missing a tool. He was missing permission to act. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy take you inside an actual coaching call where Robin turned three "pass on it" ASINs into two she'd test in real time. The fix wasn't a new filter or a secret tactic. It was learning to read the right number instead of the one every calculator shoves to the front page. Why the current buy box, the price you can buy it at right now, never once entered Robin's decision. Why a $1.79 product that nets 50 cents isn't too small, it's 28% ROI and the cheapest belief-builder you'll ever buy. Why you should start your price at the highest evidence you have and let the test, not the other sellers, tell you what it's worth. And what Robin hunts for on every red ASIN that most people close the tab on. The client said it himself: "I have to get out of my own head." Teddy Roosevelt said it better. In any moment of decision, the worst thing you can do is nothing. You didn't fail to find five ASINs. You just kept disqualifying products for failing a test you never ran. Let's go test more ASINs.

You boxed up your FBA shipment, sent it in, and now your inventory is just sitting there. A sale, then nothing for three days, then maybe another a few days later. Your gut says drop the price. Your gut is wrong. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy close out the three-part Seller's Secret Edge series by unpacking the two advantages most resellers never learn to see. First, the Panic Window: the stretch between when your inventory goes active and when it's actually deliverable, where sellers tank their own prices on units that haven't even arrived, then wait two-plus weeks to get paid the same as everyone who held firm. Then the Sweet Spot, backed by Brian's analysis of 7,500 sourced ASINs. Why a product with a two-week delivery date was never going to sell, no matter the price. Why the stadium hot dog costs eight bucks and nobody walks out to the grocery store. Why historical price movement clusters at the low end of the velocity curve, and what regional buy box spread is really telling you. And the number that reframes everything: roughly 19% of sub-velocity ASINs source profitable right out of the gate, versus 7% above a thousand units a month, the exact band most sellers are taught to chase. It's not about chasing the fastest mover. It's about stacking the deck so you don't get stuck holding inventory that won't turn. "The big money is not in the buying and the selling, but in the waiting." Charlie Munger was talking about stocks. He could've been describing the Panic Window. Let's go test more ASINs.

Two sellers pull up the same ASIN. Same Keepa chart. One buys, one walks and both think they're right. They're not. They're staring at the same data and seeing two completely different markets. Here's the problem: Amazon changed how it reports sales rank, and most sellers never updated their eyes. They're still counting rank drops like it's 2022, reading shadows on the wall instead of looking at what's actually there. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy show you how to see it. You'll learn: - The one number that quietly replaced rank drops and why it's a far more honest signal of real demand - Why velocity is the starting line, not the finish line (and the 3-step check that keeps you from lighting $20 bills on fire) - The geography edge hiding in ~30% of ASINs - how 150+ fulfillment centers create regional price gaps you can sell into, above the buy box - Why testing isn't a cost to avoid - it's the only way to see what no tool or chart can tell you. The data was always there. The geography was always there. The sellers who learn to see it are playing a completely different game than the ones still reading the chart the old way. It's not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.

Three coaching calls in one week. Three different sellers. Same problem - they were all passing on ASINs because of what Keepa wasn't showing them. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the blind spots hiding in plain sight on every Keepa chart: the "dead" listing that's actually just chronically out of stock, the buy box price that changes depending on which region you're standing in, and the sales that happen at prices Keepa never even logs. The old signals, rank drops, offer counts, the national buy box, trained an entire generation of resellers to read the chart one way. Amazon changed the building. Keepa is still one window. This episode is about learning to walk around to the other side.

You're doing the work. You're following the playbook from the videos, the socials, the group platforms. And something still isn't clicking. Here's what nobody's telling you: a lot of that advice was accurate 5 or 10 years ago. Some of it still is. Some of it isn't. And nobody's sorting it out for you. In the kickoff to a four-part Coach's Corner series, Brian and Robin Joy lay out the four shifts Amazon quietly built into the platform while the older content kept aging in place. None of them are hacks. All of them are visible to anyone paying attention. Why the rank-drop chart you learned to read is now the wrong line to watch, and which line is right How Amazon's 150 fulfillment centers create regional pricing variation Keepa can't show you What the "Panic Window" is, why your repricer can't see it, and how it ends in the Prime Window Why the sweet spot most sellers walked past sits at 50 to 200 units a month, not the high-velocity targets the old content chased Each of the four shifts gets its own deep-dive episode in the coming weeks. This one is the map. Plus, the Plato's Allegory of the Cave moment that frames the whole shift, and a Wayne Dyer line that lands it. It's not the work. It's the playbook. Let's go test more ASINs.

Some of the smartest people Robin Joy coaches still can't pull the trigger. They're stuck in saver mode when the business needs them in builder mode. Brian and Robin Joy unpack the mindset shift that separates the sellers who get going from the ones who keep studying. Why customers happily pay more on Amazon. Why Brian wouldn't drive to Walmart to save money but goes all day to make money. And the math behind the catalog: out of 1.4 billion ASINs, the sweet spot is the 2.4 million selling 50 to 199 units a month. That's the corner big corporations can't be bothered with. That's where we live. The cure for analysis paralysis isn't more analysis. It's a shipment. Kickstart program: silentjim.com/kickstart Let's go test more ASINs.

A coaching client messaged us this week ready to abandon his method. A few bad matches, a couple wrong orders, and a new surcharge from Amazon and suddenly the grass looks greener everywhere else. We've seen this movie before. In this episode, we do the math on Amazon's new 3.5% FBA surcharge, show you the free lever most sellers ignore, and talk about why the people who win this game aren't the ones who found the perfect strategy, they're the ones who stopped restarting the clock.

Fear doesn't show up in a cape. He shows up in a cardigan, sits down at your kitchen table with a spreadsheet, and asks if you've run the downside scenario. In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy tell the story of the 11 years they spent "being fine" after a real estate crash, the hemorrhagic stroke that hit Robin weeks after they launched their Amazon business, and the moment they realized that if that didn't stop them, nothing would. Then they turn it into something you can use. Why almost every seller hits a cash crunch between week seven and week twelve. Why "as much as I can" is not a plan. And the one hire that finally made their business click. You didn't fail. You just flinched. Now get back up.

Most sellers sit down to source and stare at a blank page every single time. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy explain why your product database isn't just a spreadsheet, it's a living asset that compounds over time. Learn why the real game isn't finding products to sell, it's building (and feeding) the engine that finds them for you. Plus: the four layers of a healthy starter, why "I'm going to source" is like "I'm going to the gym" without a plan, and how to shift from hunting to harvesting.

If you've ever run out of your best-selling products faster than you can restock them, wondered what ROI you should actually be targeting, or watched your buy box disappear and immediately reached for the repricer - this episode is for you. Brian and Robin unpack one of the most misunderstood realities in Amazon selling: three questions that look completely different on the surface are actually the same question wearing different masks. And the answer to all three is almost always the same word. Price. In this episode you'll learn: Why running out of stock is a pricing problem, not a sourcing problem What ROI floor you should be targeting, and why it connects directly to your velocity What actually causes a buy box to disappear (hint: it's not your price) Why panic pricing hands your profit directly to the seller who held their number How to read a suppressed buy box for what it actually is - a delivery signal, not a pricing signal Brian drops the line that ties it all together: "Price is the lever. It controls your velocity, your ROI, your exposure to panic, and whether you hold or fold when the buy box disappears." And they close with a Warren Buffett quote that hits differently when you're watching your repricer make decisions it doesn't have the information to make. This one is worth a second listen.

Why do so many sellers stay stuck even after watching courses, reading books, and buying tools? In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin share a powerful story about the Wright Brothers and Samuel Langley. One had funding, prestige, and a perfect plan. The other simply kept testing. Only one of them flew. That story opens a conversation about a common trap Amazon sellers fall into. Over-planning. Endless research. Waiting for the perfect moment to start. Brian and Robin break down a simple three-question filter that helps you cut through the noise and focus on the next right move in your business. You'll learn: • Why planning too far ahead keeps sellers stuck • How to tell the difference between real progress and "feeling busy" • The simple Now vs. Later filter that keeps you focused • Why boring systems usually mean your business is working • The one action challenge you should complete this week If you feel overwhelmed by tools, courses, or endless advice, this episode will help you reset and focus on what actually builds a business. Because the antidote to confusion isn't more information. It's action.

Robin Joy survived a birthday party at Slick City...barely. What started as a 60-year-old launching herself face-first off an indoor slide (and going viral for it) turned into the most honest conversation we've had about why watching other sellers succeed doesn't prepare you for the moment you actually try it yourself. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down the three stages every Amazon seller goes through, and the costly mistake most people make by skipping straight to stage three before they've earned it. If you've ever wondered why your sourcing feels like luck some days and chaos others, this one's for you. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I just use ChatGPT to respond to an Amazon POA (plan of action) request?"

Brian and Robin Joy handed an AI agent their FBA flight simulator with a thousand bucks and 26 weeks to build a business from scratch. No coaching. No frameworks. No hand-holding. What happened over those simulated weeks was so recognizable it was almost uncomfortable to watch. Not because the AI did something weird. Because it did something deeply, unmistakably human. It ran its testing operation with discipline. It built real winners. Then it ran itself down to $6.24. And when the 26 weeks were up, Flight Director Kranz delivered the verdict live. What he said should be on a sticky note above every seller's computer. This one's part experiment, part confession, part coaching session you didn't know you needed. Brian and Robin Joy unpack what the experiment revealed and why "busy" and "profitable" are two completely different businesses.

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up. Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.

You did the work. You sourced it, prepped it, shipped it. So where's the money? In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood phases of building an Amazon business: the quiet period. That stretch where your brain is screaming "nothing is working" but your pipeline is actually filling exactly like it should. They break down the real timeline most new sellers experience versus the one they imagined, why your first shipment is basically the first pancake (nobody expects that one to be good), and what manufacturing concepts like cycle time and lead time have to do with your FBA results. Plus, Robin Joy drops a James Clear ice cube analogy that might change how you think about quitting, and Brian explains why the sellers you admire at month nine aren't smarter or luckier. They just didn't turn off the heat at 31 degrees. If you're in months one through four and wondering whether this thing actually works, this one's for you.

Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month? Think again. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers. Here's what nobody tells you: Those "perfect" high-velocity listings? That's where opportunity goes to die. Meanwhile, the big players can't operate in the space you can. Volatility is their enemy. But for the agile seller? It's your greatest competitive advantage. Brian breaks down the actual pricing spread data across velocity bands, explains why "messy" charts signal profit zones (not danger zones), and reveals how to read Keepa like a treasure map instead of a warning sign. In this episode: Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products How to use "capital protection" to test listings with confidence The Alex Hormozi video game analogy that reframes failure as mastery What Thomas Edison knew about opportunity that most sellers miss Ready to stop competing where the big guys dominate and start playing where they can't?

Staring at the same Keepa chart for the third day in a row? Robin Joy introduces the concept of "data imprisonment" - when historical data becomes a cage instead of a compass. Brian and Robin Joy break down why Keepa shows you evidence of what happened, not proof of what will happen for YOU. They share real coaching examples of hidden Amazon Fresh competition, geographic blind spots, and why the only way to escape analysis paralysis is to test more ASINs.

From the wheel to the iPhone, every generation has declared "we live in amazing times." And they were right. But here's what most sellers miss: the advantage was never the technology itself. It was recognizing when the game changed. In this Coaches Corner, Brian introduces a concept that reframes everything: constraint migration. The bottleneck that defined your business last year? It's already been solved. The grind that made you successful? It's now holding you back. Brian and Robin Joy unpack why "sourcing is solved," what the new constraint actually is, and a quote from futurist Alvin Toffler that explains why some sellers will thrive while others get left behind. Hint: it has nothing to do with reading and writing. If you're working harder but not getting further, this episode tells you exactly why. And what to do instead.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack why sourcing is no longer the hard part of building an Amazon business. Matching ASINs has become easy, but knowing what will actually work only shows up once products are tested in the live marketplace. They explain why Keepa tells only part of the story, how the buy box behaves differently across locations and timing, and why sellers often panic and lower prices when nothing is truly broken. They also zoom out to the bigger picture. ASINs are not the asset, systems are. The first twelve weeks are meant to feel messy, even when progress is happening. And the sellers who last are the ones who build repeatable testing and decision processes instead of chasing certainty or perfect data.

You're doing the work. The numbers are moving. So why does everything feel off? We've watched this pattern play out with client after client. Smart, capable people lose confidence at the exact moment they should be trusting the process. They don't quit at the start when everything is hard. They don't quit at the finish when the results are obvious. They quit in the middle, when the work feels heavier than the reward. This episode unpacks why that happens. We're talking about identity shifts that make progress feel threatening, why failure is feedback and not a verdict, and why the messy middle is actually where all the winning happens. If you've ever stared at your dashboard wondering if you're doing this wrong, this one's for you.

You meet people who want freedom. Then you meet someone who refuses a boss so much he reverse-engineers his whole life. After Derek left the Army, he started Amazon FBA with nothing but podcasts, stubborn grit, and a few painful months of trying to "make a penny per ASIN." In this talk, we walk you through his jump from Excel chaos to 45,460 ASINs stored, his real replens, and a system that runs while he sleeps. You'll hear how he fights through IP blocks, bad prep centers, order cancellations, and the mental weight of slow progress. If you ever wondered what happens when someone treats sourcing like a gym routine, delayed gratification like a religion, and three in the morning like normal business hours, this one shows you.

A coaching client hit "apply filter" and watched 3,800 qualified ASINs appear on screen. His shoulders dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had runway. Here's the thing, no one sold him that list. He built it.

One day your sales are popping. The next day the dashboard looks frozen. In this episode, we discuss the actual reasons behind those sudden slowdowns and why most sellers draw incorrect conclusions.

A lot of Amazon sellers focus on finding the next winning product but that's not where the real advantage lives. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack why where you compete matters far more than what you sell. They connect timeless business strategy to today's FBA landscape, showing how sellers can use proven frameworks to make better decisions, protect profit, and build staying power. You'll hear why chasing the Buy Box can quietly drain your margins, how systems outperform tools, and what actually separates the seven-figure sellers from the ones who stall out. This is strategy made simple: practical, encouraging, and refreshingly honest for resellers who want real profit instead of vanity sales. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

You've learned how Amazon works. You're sourcing, shipping, and seeing sales. Then out of nowhere, the growth stops. You're working hard but not progressing. In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy talk through what they call the stall - that stage where progress plateaus and motivation fades. They unpack why it happens, how to recognize it early, and what to do before it quietly kills your business. Robin shares two stories from her dad - one about a stubborn bloodhound and another about learning to take short-term pain over long-term frustration. Both reveal how comfort keeps you stuck. This episode blends tough love, humor, and practical coaching to help you push through the stall, build real momentum, and start owning your business instead of letting it own you.

Most Amazon sellers chase precision when they should be chasing progress. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack what it really takes to simplify your systems, trust your numbers, and finally reach the point where the business can pay you. They break down three powerful frameworks that connect structure, clarity, and growth: The Three ASIN Types: How to turn chaos into clarity and start treating listings like data, not drama. Profit Clarity: Why chasing perfect numbers kills momentum and how discipline compounds faster than data accuracy. The Profit Profile Framework: What to do when you are profitable on paper but still not getting paid. As Winston Churchill reminded us, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.” This episode is your reminder that the fastest path to clarity and cash flow is testing more ASINs, not perfecting the spreadsheet.

Ever feel like your brain's leaking out your ears after a few hours of learning Amazon? That's physics, not failure. In this episode, Brian & Robin Joy unpack why your brain should feel overloaded at first and how to turn big, heavy concepts (“two-by-fours”) into light, manageable habits (“toothpicks”). You'll learn the real reason overwhelm is part of the process and how repetition, not perfection, is what turns chaos into clarity. In this conversation: How to know when you've hit your “mental limit” (and why that's a win, not a warning) The two most common “two-by-fours” new sellers struggle to whittle down and how to spot them fast Why mastering Pre-Flight and Bridging the Gap transforms your sourcing confidence overnight What Trader Joe's listings can teach you about risk, timing, and diversification The counterintuitive reason Amazon's increasing restrictions are actually protecting your future Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Are Walmart policies changing and maturing?"

Everyone wants to believe there's a point where your Amazon business finally runs itself - no more testing, tweaking, or chaos. Spoiler: that point doesn't exist. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy pull apart the myth of “getting it right” and show you why perfection is the enemy of progress. You'll hear how to spot the moment you've slipped from improving into stalling, how to stop “prettying up the nest,” and why a messy business is usually a healthy one. This one's equal parts relief and reality check - a permission slip to quit chasing done and start chasing better. You'll learn: Why chasing perfection kills momentum The difference between organizing and optimizing How to use testing as your best teacher Why “messy” might be your best KPI yet And when your next five ASINs don't pan out? You already know the answer. Test more ASINs.

When things get tough, are you still committed? In this episode of Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin flip the script and dive into three forces that shape every success story - commitment, development, and belief. You'll hear why talent alone isn't enough without daily reps, why commitment guarantees the outcome (even if the path surprises you), and how belief carries you through the plot twists. Along the way, they share stories about learning to walk, chasing driver's licenses, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, and even Robin's piano lessons with Mrs. Kimberland and her Clark bars. If you've ever felt frustrated but not ready to quit, this conversation will give you the encouragement, and the practical takeaways, you need to keep moving.

Every Amazon seller wrestles with risk, should you take a small loss today to unlock bigger opportunities tomorrow? In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the myths and mindsets around risk tolerance, testing, and building a sustainable business. You'll hear: Why “losing a little to win a lot” only works if it's part of a strategy, not a gamble How to use the 3-Step Check and Keepa data to frame risk without getting blindsided The real purpose of early tests (hint: it's not winning every time) How to handle the emotional rollercoaster of failed tests without letting shame or fear derail you Why your long-term wins depend on reps, patience, and building a foundation, not quick dopamine hits This is a conversation about risk, resilience, and the upside of sticking with the process long enough to see the breakthroughs.

Is your Amazon business stuck on the “buy, sell out, start over” ride? Ed Dassey was right there until a hard look at consistency, cash flow, and simple systems flipped the script. In this conversation, Ed shares how he went from a sporadic side gig to $260K in 2020, nearly $500K the next year, and now heading toward $1M in revenues. You'll hear what finally ended the feast-or-famine cycle and why he now manages to a spend goal instead of chasing revenue. You'll also get the mindset shift that killed his imposter syndrome and the three words he uses to run the whole operation: Source. Ship. Sell. You'll learn: The #1 mistake that keeps new sellers stuck (and the simple fix that creates traction). Why weekly and monthly spend are better leading indicators than revenue and how to set a realistic spend goal. How Ed scaled OA with tools like Keepa, AZInsight, Tactical Arbitrage, Source Mogul, and Nepeto before rehiring VAs the right way. Practical ways to track expenses from day one so cash doesn't quietly leak out. A resilient mindset for when Amazon throws curveballs, plus the quote Ed leans on when things get tough: “What you think about, you bring about.” If you'd like to work with Ed, reach out to the coaching office. Just come ready to roll up your sleeves ;) Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Is it true that IP complaints are really no big deal?"

It's easy to get hooked on those gold bars in your Amazon seller app, the quick sales, the dopamine hit, the “I'm really doing this” feeling. But what happens when the screen refreshes at the end of the month and the profits aren't there? In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy dig into the difference between chasing sales volume (the empty calories of your business) and building around high-quality, profitable ASINs (the meaty beasts that actually feed you long-term). You'll hear: Why lowering prices for more sales can quietly starve your profits The common trap of comparing your “gold bars” to everyone else's highlight reel How to use the Profit Profile coaching session to see what's really happening in your margins The mindset shift from incremental growth to exponential breakthroughs Practical ways to hunt for ASINs with real staying power instead of chasing every small win If you've ever felt like you're working harder but not getting ahead, this episode will help you reset your focus—and start building a business that actually pays you.

Hitting $10K–$20K a month feels like you've “made it” until you realize the bottom line doesn't match the top. In this episode of Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating shift from simple growth to true scaling. They share real coaching stories, personal business lessons, and vivid analogies (yes, even drums and bikes) to explain: Why working harder isn't the same as building smarter The “book of business” mindset that keeps you from being sunk by a single ASIN How to spot when it's time to bring in systems, capital, or partners The difference between vanity metrics and numbers that actually pay you If you've ever wondered why your effort feels maxed out but your business isn't moving the way you want, this conversation will help you see the road to scaling more clearly and give you permission to focus on the right levers instead of burning yourself out.

In this Coaches Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy tackle a truth that every Amazon seller, and every business owner, needs to hear: success doesn't start out looking like success. Drawing on stories from their early days (including apartment prep chaos, failed inspections, and a very confused schnauzer named Rudy), they unpack why disorder is not a sign of failure; it's proof you're building. Using analogies from the Eiffel Tower to busy restaurant kitchens, they show you how to navigate setbacks without losing momentum, create systems in real time, and turn clunky repetitions into smooth, repeatable habits. Whether you're facing your first IP complaint or just struggling to keep your prep space organized, this episode will remind you: the mess is part of the plan, and consistency will beat perfection every time.

If you're doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back. They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You'll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and what it looks like to move with inevitability instead of fear. This is a mindset shift every seller needs to hear. You don't need more hustle. You need a better story about what success actually takes.

Sales rank drops have been a core part of reseller training for years. But what happens when the charts go flat and the old signals aren't working as well? In this episode, Brian Olson sits down with fellow coach Grant Douglas to break down the recent shift to Amazon's A10 algorithm, what it means for Keepa users, and how to rethink sales velocity without overcomplicating your sourcing process. They unpack an updated 3-Step Check, discuss new tools like the “Sold in Last 30 Days” stat, and highlight real-world strategies that resellers can use to test smarter, even in a changing landscape. If you've felt uncertain about what's moving and what's not, or you've noticed your Keepa charts getting quieter, this one's for you.

Join Brian and Robin Joy in Coaches' Corner as they share candid stories about working through setbacks, building confidence, and keeping promises to yourself, even when early results feel discouraging. Discover why success isn't about plotting the perfect path but about taking the next imperfect step, testing one ASIN at a time, and learning to trust your own consistency. From the power of simple commitments to reframing “failures” as neutral experiments, this conversation will inspire you to keep showing up—because everything you want really is on the other side of hard.

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio's Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy tackle one of the most common misconceptions in business: the search for a foolproof, step-by-step blueprint to success. Drawing from personal stories, coaching experiences, and even a 10-mile race through Colorado's Garden of the Gods, they reveal why growth doesn't come from copying someone else's path but from navigating your own challenges. They share the difference between blueprints and frameworks, the value of taking action before overthinking, and why the toughest parts of your business — your "hills" — are not obstacles, but the path itself. Tune in to get inspired to face your own business hills head-on and learn why writing your own story is the key to lasting success.

In this Coaches Corner episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy unpack a surprisingly common challenge among resellers: the obsession with sourcing new ASINs over building sustainable, replenishable inventory. Through humorous anecdotes, practical coaching insights, and relatable metaphors, they explore the psychology behind the "thrill of the chase" and how to shift focus toward long-term e-commerce success. Whether you're stuck in the cycle of constant test buys or struggling to find "profitable" ASINs, this episode delivers a fresh perspective: it's not about perfection—it's about progress. Learn how building a robust viable ASIN database can be your most powerful strategy, why testing trumps guessing, and how to play the long game without burnout. Highlights include: The difference between viable, testable, and replenishable ASINs Why your sourcing mindset matters more than your tools How to use Keepa data and sales cycles to your advantage The power of “shopping the back of the list” Why success in e-commerce is truly a numbers game Don't just chase the next shiny ASIN—build your base, trust the process, and test more!
