    #1165: Reading between the Keepa lines: What the chart isn't showing you

    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.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is the inform act and how scary is it?

    #1163: How even new resellers can quickly find 100s of ungated brands to sell on Amazon

    New Amazon resellers often report that they struggle to find brands and products that they are eligible (ungated) to sell when they first get started as a new reseller on Amazon. There are incredible tools emerging right now that completely resolve that challenge - today I talk to the creator of a very effective, simple tool called MultiSellerPro - (visit SilentJim.com/msp for a discount).   MSP crawls the accounts of other Amazon sellers looking for qualified, ungated products and builds a constantly monitored catalog that over time alerts you as any gated brands/products become ungated - and that's just one of numerous features!   Watch this episode on our YouTube  channel here: https://youtu.be/-bwoZt8Pack   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/msp - MultiSeller Pro   3pmercury.com/friends - The best pricing on 3pMercury software!   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

    #1162: The Amazon reseller's secret edge

    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.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me?

    #1160: Why Would Anyone Pay $40 on Amazon for a $20 Walmart Item?

    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.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?"
