Silent Sales Machine Radio

Is right now possibly the greatest time in e-commerce history to become a reseller on Amazon? I think it just might be - and I explain why on today's episode.   Also - we are entering Covid 2.0 (and I'm not talking about the disease). I'm talking about the BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. The last time we saw conditions like what's about to happen we saw THOUSANDS of sellers make a killing on Amazon as resellers - and the conditions are the same again now! I'll explain what I mean on this episode.   Stick around for the last few minutes of the episode today to hear an update about "The System". The System (aka 3PMercury found at SilentJim.com/thesystem) is the software that completely automated Khang’s $3 million replens business with 10,000 ASINs while requiring only a team of only 2 people! Hundreds of users are now using The System to successfully automate their ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS businesses - and you can as well!    The System webinar - Brian Olson did a training and you can check it out on the SilentJim

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

Today's guest is the CEO of one of the largest software companies serving Amazon sellers. There are 500 employees at threecolts, and Yoda Yee manages all of it!   He has a unique perspective on the momentum and direction of the Amazon selling opportunity. I had a great time discussing with him the current trends, challenges and favorable developments that all sellers should be aware of.   He's a big sponsor of our upcoming TheProvenConference.com event in Orlando as well as one of the few events he attends - that's how much he loves Amazon resellers!   We both agree that we are about to enter an incredible time of opportunity and growth for all Amazon resellers. The same conditions that were in place during covid are now presenting themselves again.   If you're not aware, one of the greatest two-year periods in all of e-commerce happened during covid.   Many sellers in our community made millions. The good news is, there's no disease this time, but the same market conditions are presenting themselves.   If yo

Have you ever seen bundles on Amazon? It's a listing where two or more complimentary items are sold together (examples would be a needles and thread for sewing or a coffee bean grinder and a bag of coffee beans etc.)   Is it safe to sell bundles on Amazon? Is it within Amazon policy to combine complimentary items and create a new listing? Can I include brands I don't own? What are the risk?   Is this idea dead without a letter of permission from the brands I sell? (also called an LOA or Letter Of Authorization)   In the summer of 2024 Amazon made some policy changes for creating and regulating bundles. A good handful of sellers were suspended for having created bundles improperly and their bundles were removed from the catalog.   To our knowledge, all those sellers were reinstated thankfully, but it caused a bit of a stir at the time.  After the dust settled entirely, we decided it was time for us to revisit the bundle topic and see how sellers are doing in this arena. A leading bundle expert and coach in our

Are you the bottleneck in your own business? In this Coaches' Corner episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy tackle the often-overlooked challenge of scaling beyond yourself in your Amazon business.   They dive deep into: The real reason solopreneurs struggle to scale Why outsourcing "small-dollar tasks" is the key to unlocking massive growth How to create systems and SOPs (standard operating procedures) that empower others to take the reins The psychological roadblocks—like control, perfectionism, and short-term cost thinking—that hold entrepreneurs back Practical steps for transitioning from doer to leader, including documenting tasks, building feedback loops, and identifying your first "who"   Whether you’re overwhelmed by daily tasks or unsure how to train someone else, this episode is packed with strategies, personal stories, and real-world tools to help you grow a sustainable business without burning out.   Tune in to learn how to reclaim your time, grow your team, and bui

Today's show discusses an inexpensive power tool for Amazon sellers called "Keepa".    Keepa is an indispensable part of any responsible and knowledgeable reseller on Amazon.   While it's an incredibly useful tool in the hands of an experienced seller, there are several things it cannot do that many sellers assume it CAN do!   The things keepa CAN NOT tell you include: > The buy box price across all regions > When sales are occurring or how many are happening (not tool can do that) > Which sellers are winning sales (it can only tell you about the buy box in one area)   It can help you make fantastic inventory decisions, BUT if you make false assumptions about the data that keepa is giving you, you'll wind up missing so many great ASINs and you'll be prematurely jumping on bad ASINs.   You can watch this epsiode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/9xp2mKxhnxg   Show note LINKS: My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

On today's episode we meet a new ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has only been selling for a couple of months.   He's finding great inventory already based on the "above by box" strategy that so many new and experienced sellers are loving lately.   Finding products: One example he shares is a $2 item (he easily sources it at full retail price) that he's selling consistently for $16 as THE HIGHEST PRICED SELLER on the ASIN with 12 other sellers! You'll hear him explain how it works on this episode.   Ungating: He is seeing 90% of his ungating requests succeed with a a single button click, and he shares his simple strategy as to how it works.   He's also planning to attend our conference in May and he shares his excitement about that. Details on that event can be found at the proven conference.com. We spend some time as well discussing getting ungated as a new seller.   Check out our episode sponsor Profit Cyclops - Realtime Order Tracking and Profit Calculation Easy to view dashboards and charts in days, we
