Are you "buy box" obsessed when it comes to winning sales on Amazon?You don't have to be! You can win steady sales WITHOUT winning the buy box!   This strategy has been proven over and over in our community, but it's certainly not the ONLY strategy we love for building a beautiful business on Amazon!   It's true - we've been providing ample evidence for a couple years now that wise Amazon sellers and ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that you can completely ignore the buy box and sell easily sourced boring products for prices well above competing sellers who sell the same item, but...   In our excitement in sharing these examples sometimes our students are left with the impression that we favor this "above buy box" strategy above other fantastic pricing and sourcing strategies.   Let's get to the bottom of the confusion! Our Guest on today's show is a great coach on our team, Grant Douglas. He uses both strategies as does our host Jim. They discuss the benefits advantages and disadvantages of both winning the b

In this energized episode of Coach’s Corner, Brian and Robin Joy dive into what really drives success in the Amazon FBA world—and it’s not what you might expect.   Drawing powerful lessons from the "Pottery Paradox" and the "Bamboo Effect," they reveal why repetition, not perfection, is the secret to building a thriving business.   You'll learn: Why testing more ASINs beats searching for the “perfect” one The power of velocity, capital protection, and profit potential How to avoid “lighting $20 bills on fire” What the Ambassador Program brings to the Proven Conference Why preparation > planning—and how football coaches do it best   If you’ve been stuck lurking, waiting for the right moment to start, this episode is your sign to throw that first dart!   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What should I do if I get a 'cease and desist email or letter' from a brand I'm selling?"   Watch this epsiode on our YouTube channel here: https:/

Do you have questions and concerns about building a business on Amazon? Are you new to the idea?   The vast majority of new students who come into our community have a lot of the same questions you do.   To help address these concerns we had a unique idea recently.    I made a post in our large facebook group and asked for two "skeptical volunteers" from our community to hop on a podcast with me to discuss all of their concerns, scary rumors and candid questions regarding building a great business online using the strategies we teach (specifically ProvenAmazonCourse.com strategies for the REPLENS model that we teach to all new students)   It turned out to be a great episode!   We talked about: the time and investment required the risks the rumors the realities the odds of success the future prospects of the model who should use coaching can you do it on your own? ...and much more   This episode will be fantastic for anyone who finds themself curious but skeptical about what it is that we do in our community.

Join Brian and Robin Joy on this special episode of Coach’s Corner as they dive into their experience at the 2025 Legends Conference in St. Louis.   From insightful keynotes and powerful WPAs (Worth the Price of Admission moments) to unexpected wisdom from nature documentaries, they unpack the lessons, laughs, and takeaways that made this event unforgettable.   Discover strategies for laser focus, avoiding business burnout, leveraging AI for SOPs, and why community is your most valuable currency.

"If I were in charge I'd make some big changes." You don't have to look far to find plenty of ideas from sellers on the topic of "how to make Amazon selling better", but we have to keep in mind that Amazon has multiple parties to keep in mind! There's the shopper (they are first ultimately and rightfully so) Then there's Amazon's own best interest (profitability, risk management, shareholders etc) ...and then there's the seller last but no least! I for one am so grateful for the Amazon reseller opportunity -it's provided incredibly consistent opportunities for 10s of thousands of families including my own and the future is very bright, but... Of all the ideas for improvement that are swirling around, I think I've found three that are great (with no downsides) for ALL THREE parties! The ideas are: Eliminate the suppressed buy boxes Show shoppers the fastest delivery option on ASINs with many sellers Show sellers more data in regards to understocked shelf space in the warehouse network Today's episode unpacks

Today's guest is a real estate flipper/investor who had some extra time on his hands so he started getting into ecommerce. He started out scanning for discounts in local stores for Amazon inventory, but he quickly grew into using more of a REPLENS model (as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com as the initial training system we teach). Next he expanded into wholesale (as taught in the ProvenWholsaleSourcing.com training) He's seeing incredible results and gladly shared the strategies he's using to find incredible success!   We discuss how our coaching program (SilentJim.com/bookacall) works, and he seemed very interested in that as well - maybe you'd like to talk to us about it!

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 o

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 f

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 co
