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.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What documents should I retain when selling online?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/GfXHWG897sY   Show note LINKS: TheProvenConference.com - Our May 2025 event - plan to join 100s of listeners to this show in Orlando May 29-31st, 2025!   SilentJim.com/keepa - Keepa is the only tool you need when starting off selling.

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!   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I've sold a brand for a long time, can Amazon re-gate me?

In this episode, we dive into the concept of "replens" and how it differentiates from Online Arbitrage (OA), Retail Arbitrage (RA), and Wholesale. We start by discussing a crucial piece of advice from our Kickstart Bootcamp—always check the brand! Nothing else matters if the brand doesn't match.   Then, we explore a common question from a new coaching client: What exactly is a "replen"?   We break down the definition, highlighting how replenishable items don't need to be consumable and can be sourced at full price, as long as they are viable, testable, and consistently replenishable.   Additionally, we tackle the ideal price point for replen items, reflecting on our journey from an average resale price of $15 in the early days to $25 today. You'll also hear insights on how some clients have succeeded with lower-cost items that resell between $10-$15.   Whether you're just starting out or refining your strategy, this episode offers valuable guidance on building a sustainable business model with replens!   Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses how speed kills.

From Brian and Robbin Joy's Coaches Corner we have advice for those who recently attended The Proven Conference in Florida.   Finding success on Amazon takes time and persistence. Focus on understanding ASINs rather than just finding them, and don't expect immediate six or seven-figure success. Believe in your ability to succeed, stay committed, and accept that there will be challenges along the way.   Brian's Golf Swing Analogy paints a picture of perfecting and honong bisiness skills. Success on Amazon is like a golf swing where the ball is in the way.   Attending conferences, workshops, and getting coaching can significantly increase your chances of success. Combining all three maximizes your potential for success, much like a perfect golf swing.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses deleting shipments in your Amazon seller workflow dashboard.

In the typical Amazon replens business, there are three governing factors, they are time, money, and ASINs and each crucial to building and maintaining a successful business.   In this episode, Brian & Robin Joy also introduce the "7 Core Competencies of Amazon Replens" series, which highlights essential skills needed in the following areas: sourcing, shopping, prepping, shipping, repricing, replenishing, and business acumen, emphasizing the need for proficiency in all areas either individually or as a team.   The "Sourcing Competency" specifically requires a deep dive into thousands of ASINs, categorizing them into viable, test-worthy, and replenishable, with a focus on thorough evaluation and continuous testing to identify those that can be consistently replenished.   This methodical approach is important for building a sustainable inventory and winning performance in a marketplace where, as Robin Sharma notes, "There's a ton of competition at ordinary, but there's almost none at extraordinary."   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses Account Health and how the scores are calculated.

Today's episode will inspire you to keep going in the midst of difficulty. Two of our coaches and directors of our JimCockrumCoaching.com program tell it like it is in business and what to do to keep going. Listen to the Olson's behind the scenes back story!    "Houston, we have a problem..." On April 13, 1970, Jack Swigert's famous words marked a pivotal moment in the Apollo 13 mission, where an explosion turned a moon landing into a desperate fight for survival. The astronauts, with the ingenuity and determination of their ground team, used the Lunar Module as an improvised lifeboat, overcoming critical issues with limited resources. This story mirrors Brian Olson's journey in the Amazon business world, where persistence and innovative problem-solving turned early failures into remarkable success. Inspired by his unwavering commitment, Brian emphasizes the importance of setting concrete goals and being ready to face challenges head-on. His journey underscores that, much like the Apollo 13 mission, achieving great success often requires tenacity, creative thinking, and an unyielding belief that failure is not an option.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why does my account health number drop sometimes even though I didn't get any issues on my account?   Watch this video on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vN-qLeEhqhk   Show note LINKS:    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://silentjim.com/free11   JimCockrumCoaching.com  - Get a free session with a business consultant on our team at 1-800-994-1792 / 1-801-693-1688 or TEXT US at 385-284-7701 (US & Canada only for Text)  ALL of our coaches are running very successful businesses of their own based on the models we teach here!

Our newer ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students often ask questions like, “Where can I find a source that allows me to sell items for a profit on Amazon?”   Typically these students are looking at the current or average recent buy box price on Amazon or the featured price and then setting about trying to find a "cheaper source".   While there's some potential in that model, there's far lower hanging fruit for you to explore and that's the topic of today's new podcast episode.   Today we turn the sourcing question upside down and ask this question instead:   “Now that I know my cost of acquiring this item, what price will I need to sell this item for on Amazon in order to make a profit?"   Next ask...   "Are there ASINs that make my profitable price a reasonable goal?"   Once you know how to look, the answer will be a resounding "YES" far more often that you might suspect!   Let's talk about it on today's episode.

It begins by addressing the concerns of many new sellers who find themselves confused by the limitations placed on what they can sell, noting that initial approval typically includes categories like Home and Kitchen, Arts and Crafts, Office Products, and Pet Supplies (excluding pet food).   Even with all the initial restrictions that Amazon has though, there are a significant number of available ASINs (products) in these approved categories that total over 50,000 products—that meet specific criteria such as having some past or current FBA offers, being non-hazmat, having no Amazon sales in the past 30 days and experiencing at least 30 or so sales rank drops in the past month.   Further, the episode provides strategic advice on how to expand your list of potential ASINs by selecting trustworthy sources.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I get some 'free stuff' from a supplier or elsewhere, can I sell it safely on Amazon?"   Watch this episode on ourYouTube channel: https://youtu.be/x2WajDhHOwA   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/ungating - a post in our facebook group that's all about what categories are open to you as a new seller   SilentJim.com/free11 - get access to the book that launched this podcast, sold over 1million copies with 1,000s of five star reviews on Amazon.com - it's the latest version of the Silent Sales Machine book!   TheProvenConference.com - So much information and great networking at our LIVE event.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but after helping hundreds of students succeed on Amazon last year we are positive that "There is No Magic Formula".   We can teach you the SYSTEM, but there are lessons to learn and opportunity comes with a steady ongoing learning curve.   This new podcast episode discusses the opportunities and complexities of finding profitable Amazon products (aka Amazon Standard Identification Numbers or ASINs).   We address the common misconception that there's a simple magic formula for success in selecting "winning profitable" ASINs. There just isn't!   The discussion emphasizes the importance of matching any ASIN you find with a reputable source, avoiding third-party sellers, ensuring brand accuracy, and verifying listing details. It further highlights that testing is crucial for gaining experience, understanding inventory placement, improving account health, receiving seller feedback, and uncovering profit opportunities.   Once you have these habits, you will be an ASIN hunting NINJA, but until then, you're taking unnecessary risks and cutting your success short!   The episode advises testing safely by choosing fast-moving items, protecting capital, and being open to testing rather than finding reasons not to. It concludes that there's no universal formula for testing or replenishing ASINs, stressing that experience and inventory control, even with a small number of units, are key to making informed decisions.   The importance of diligence and careful evaluation is underscored in the conclusion.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of https://JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can the actions I take with my amazon SHOPPING (buyer) account effect my Amazon SELLER account?"    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ss8W5rfeLZE   Show note LINKS:    SilentJim.com/free11 - get access to the book that launched this podcast, sold over 1million copies with 1,000s of five star reviews on Amazon.com - it's the latest version of the Silent Sales Machine book!   TheProvenConference.com - so much information and great networking at our LIVE event.
