Welcome to the show, John.
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.920
Thanks for having me on, David.
00:03:17.079 --> 00:03:19.000
Super excited to chat with you today.
00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:21.399
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.319
So to start things off, can you share with our audience a little bit about you and your background?
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:29.000
Yeah.
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.560
So I um started off my career in finance.
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:46.199
Um I left uh the finance industry around a little after 2008, the you know, financial crisis, everything like that, and and really wanted to try my hand at entrepreneurship.
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.000
Um I got right into digital marketing.
00:03:49.079 --> 00:04:06.279
I started um kind of on the affiliate side, learning, you know, customer acquisition, retention, um, sort of the nuts and bolts of um, you know, how to sell online, and then had the opportunity in 2015 to launch my own brand on Amazon.
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:11.959
Um backtracking a little bit, we we met a uh a world-renowned chemist.
00:04:12.279 --> 00:04:15.719
Um and uh my my dad was a dentist.
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:27.399
We were trying to make an oral rinse um that was specific to his technology, ended up pivoting into skincare, uh launched our brand, which is called Neutralize, which we still uh run today.
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.240
It's a seven-figure brand.
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:46.040
Um, and through the process of like um trying and failing uh at you know growing my own brand and then succeeding when we came over to Amazon in 2015, um, you know, just really learned uh what worked on Amazon, right?
00:04:46.199 --> 00:05:06.040
So fast forward to 2019, um started doing a little bit consulting, just kind of born out of demand, um other other people asking for you know help uh growing their businesses on Amazon, um, had some you know interesting consulting experiences, some wins, some losses.
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.680
Um, and for the past three years, we've evolved into a full-scale um uh agency.
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.719
So we manage 30 million a year in um in total revenue on Amazon.
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:29.079
We have 12 partner brands, and we work within the Amazon accounts of those partner brands to help them grow um their businesses in terms of sales and profitability.
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:32.040
Well, very nice.
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:32.680
Very nice.
00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:37.639
That's an awesome background and really looking into diving into some of these topics.
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:48.600
Now, through managing as many brands as you do, you probably have a really good perspective on what are the good brands doing that help them be successful on Amazon?
00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:57.879
And what are, or I better said, what what separates a well-operating Amazon brand versus one that's destined to fail?
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.000
Yeah, so I'd I'd say a couple different things.
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:10.759
You know, what makes uh you know a real brand is you know one that's not generally not relying totally on Amazon.
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:27.400
They are um consistently uh you know pushing in in retail, e-commerce, uh, you know, with TikTok, Facebook, they have another channel um at least that is that is working for them and that they're creating visibility in.
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.759
Um and the other component I would say is new product launches, right?
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:42.759
Um you know, consistently releasing new products that are that are adding value to the marketplace that are not Me Too products, um, right?
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.720
And when you're doing those two things um, you know, together, a lot of magic happens.
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:55.480
We do have you know some clients who are Amazon only that that have success in spite of not being omnichannel.
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:06.040
Um however, they're really good at you know identifying new products to release, um, you know, creating them with something special and and and rolling them out.
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.920
So I'd say that those are like the two main components.
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.720
And then the other secret sauce is like passion, right?
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:18.920
Yeah, you see some some brand owners really have a lot of passion behind what they do, they make content, you can you can feel it.
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.800
Um, and so I think that that's like the magical driving force behind a lot of this.
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:36.120
So one of the things that uh when I was prepping for this, uh I was doing a little research on you and your company, and and one thing that stood out was the data-driven process.
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.400
And as a retired CPA, I really like that.
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:47.720
My brain is organized into rows and columns, and and uh I I really like when possible to make data-driven approaches.
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:58.280
And so what are some things, and if you maybe could sprinkle in some examples of of what your data-driven approach looks like and and how you're helping your brain succeed on Amazon.
00:07:58.840 --> 00:07:59.960
Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.720
So I I was taught by my early mentors if if it can't be measured, it can't be grown, right?
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:15.400
So I think you know, measurement and and uh you know having a good handle on business intelligence is absolutely essential if you want to grow an e-commerce business.
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:21.319
Um, so for Amazon, we use um third-party tools for business intelligence.
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:34.519
We love um sellerize, seller board, and um those you know, pull in from Amazon's API because Amazon does a really poor job of um, you know, uh helping you determine if you're profitable, right?
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:43.879
They're really good at showing you the top line uh revenue, but they don't help you do a good job to determine uh profitability, which is why a lot of sellers don't make money.
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:56.919
Um and even you know, successful uh brands and manufacturers we work with, they may have a vast product catalog and be surprised that they're losing money on certain um skews or certain uh parts of their catalog.
00:08:57.079 --> 00:09:04.919
Um so the the metrics that we kind of obsess over are you know, obviously skew by skew uh profitability.
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:16.279
Um the the two biggest metrics that that uh come into that are gonna be um uh sessions, which is visibility, page views, um, and conversion rate, right?
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.439
Those are kind of like the early indicators.
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:25.639
Um you could also look on the PPC side at clicks as clicks and impressions as leading indicators of those.
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:29.480
Um another one that's really important on Amazon is the buy box.
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:41.240
Um, a lot of brands will have, especially as you become omnichannel, you'll have um unauthorized resellers and people kind of jumping onto your listing, um, uh eating a piece of your pizza pie.
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.519
Um so that's another really important metric to look at.
00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:49.080
Um and then overall downtime, like out of stocks, are an absolute killer.
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:55.000
Um, or if your products go down on Amazon for some kind of compliance reason, which happens all the time.
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:11.799
So essentially you you want to be in stock all the time with 100% buy box, with your listing uh, you know, uh having good visibility and conversion, and when all those things are working in unison, then um then things are good.
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:13.799
Okay.
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:14.519
Okay.
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:26.039
What would be your advice to uh people that have been selling on Amazon for a while, say you know, three, five, seven years and feel like they've hit a plateau.
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.960
What are some things that that they should look to do to to break through that plateau and take to the next level of growth?
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.120
Um, are we talking about private label brand owners?
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.080
Okay.
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:50.759
Um, so for private label brand owners, I would say like you really need to get ahead of markets, right?
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.200
Amazon has become a really saturated place.
00:10:54.360 --> 00:12:27.569
And if you try to launch a product that is in a niche where there are dozens of competitors that are either are entrenched with you know thousands of five-star reviews, or um you're dealing with competition directly out of China and trying to compete with manufacturers who have a better cost structure than you.
00:12:27.730 --> 00:12:32.930
Um, those are you know really big challenges and and you know, generally killers.
00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:39.890
Um and even if your product is a little better, um, it's it's gonna be really, really hard to enter those niches.
00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:55.170
Um so we try to educate our clients to use Amazon's product opportunity explorer um to find up-and-coming niches, uh, niches that have uh maybe increased in um search volume in the past 90 days.
00:12:55.329 --> 00:13:04.210
Um, you know, being mindful of seasonality and and you know, not um going crazy when you're looking at it in January and looking at all the stuff that was selling in Q4.
00:13:04.609 --> 00:13:15.410
Um but when you find things that are kind of on the rise and you could kind of hop on the on the wave early with an innovative product, um, that's gonna be where you know the magic really happens.
00:13:17.329 --> 00:13:17.650
Okay.
00:13:18.210 --> 00:13:18.529
Okay.
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:25.410
Let's let's go down that path of of launching new products and and sourcing new products.
00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:36.609
Um when I started on Amazon, I took a bunch of courses, and it seemed like a lot of people would say, find a product on Alibaba.
00:13:36.849 --> 00:13:40.210
It's under 20, you can sell for under$20 that fits in a backpack.
00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:41.490
It's easy to ship.
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:52.930
Um and what I've found is from products that I'm personally selling, um, is those tend to be very competitive markets, just generally speaking.
00:13:53.170 --> 00:14:05.730
And by the time the referral fee, the FBA fee, your say 10 or 15% tacos for your ads, um it it eats up a lot of your profits.
00:14:05.890 --> 00:14:20.049
And so what would be maybe it's the size, maybe it's the price point, but if people are looking to launch products in 2026 and beyond, uh where do you see the big opportunities?
00:14:20.690 --> 00:14:32.690
Yeah, so I would say that you generally want to sell products that are 30 bucks and up uh in today's day and age rather than 20 bucks and lower because that leaves more room for margin.
00:14:32.769 --> 00:14:45.089
I mean, you can you can you know certainly do well with something at 25 or even the low the low 20s, but getting much below 20 becomes a real challenge uh you know for the reason that you said with all the fees and stuff.
00:14:45.170 --> 00:14:49.569
Um another thing to be really careful of is um oversized products.
00:14:49.730 --> 00:15:05.650
Um so we recommend with oversized products that you do uh fulfilled by merchant because um FBA fulfilled by Amazon, when you're um looking at oversized products, it's generally um you know adds too much fees um in order to be worth it.
00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:09.250
There are exceptions, um, but just as a general.
00:15:09.410 --> 00:15:19.970
Um and then yeah, just as you said it, like when there's one prevailing methodology, everybody is sort of coming to the same conclusion and selling the same uh products, right?
00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:22.370
So that's something to kind of avoid.
00:15:22.529 --> 00:15:30.769
Um and then, you know, China has just become such a behemoth, especially with um the rise of AI.
00:15:30.930 --> 00:15:39.329
You know, we used to have uh a bit of a moat as far as being better marketers than them, but I don't think that really exists as as much anymore.
00:15:39.490 --> 00:15:47.730
Um and they all know about Amazon, and Amazon is courting them, and so um they're just coming in and they're they're swallowing whole categories.
00:15:47.890 --> 00:15:58.849
So if I was launching a new brand today, um I would avoid something out of China unless it's very, very um uh protectable, right?
00:15:59.170 --> 00:16:02.609
Um, you know, you uh and there's a big barrier to entry.
00:16:02.769 --> 00:16:12.690
Maybe you have a unique mold that's expensive, and and uh, you know, it might be uh you know, a Chinese manufacturer may not want to to you know to do that.
00:16:12.930 --> 00:16:19.089
Um but yeah, in in general, like those are all things that are gonna be challenges.
00:16:19.170 --> 00:16:25.250
Um or or competing in markets against against really big brands that have these tremendous advertising budgets, right?
00:16:25.329 --> 00:16:29.569
That's another kind of um you know thing that could that could make it hard.
00:16:32.210 --> 00:16:32.849
Yeah.
00:16:33.569 --> 00:16:36.289
Um no, that that makes that makes sense.
00:16:36.370 --> 00:16:43.650
And and the competition from China has been it's something I personally have run into recently.
00:16:43.809 --> 00:16:48.210
I had a supplier who I thought I had a great relationship with.
00:16:48.370 --> 00:16:53.730
Um and they ended up competing against me under a a new name.
00:16:53.970 --> 00:17:14.529
And um I it seems like it's tough because if from a dollars and cent standpoint, um oftentimes sourcing from China or abroad and ship you know, shipping it overseas will be cheaper than doing it in the US.
00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:17.970
Uh however you run into those those issues.
00:17:18.049 --> 00:17:26.370
And so um what would be, you know, in terms of finding suppliers uh for your products?
00:17:26.529 --> 00:17:27.970
Any pro tips there?
00:17:29.170 --> 00:17:44.130
Yeah, um I would you know recommend if you if you're sourcing abroad, working with a sourcing agent um that uh you know is you have to avoid these trading companies, which are essentially uh middlemen, right?
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:53.170
It could be good maybe for your first order, but you know, long term you want to be with a manufacturer, not a middleman in China, um if you're going China.
00:17:53.410 --> 00:17:58.450
Um, you know, same is is is true in you know other geographies, right?
00:17:58.529 --> 00:18:01.890
I mean, I I think right now is an you know the world's a big place.
00:18:01.970 --> 00:18:06.609
Um and there's a lot of manufacturing in in in you know different places that's up and coming.
00:18:06.690 --> 00:18:24.450
So I think there's you know big opportunities to source, you know, from from Europe, um to source from South America, um, to source in in places where you know people aren't aren't necessarily looking um and find yeah, find up and coming products in in those geographies.
00:18:24.609 --> 00:18:26.370
Um in the US it's hard.
00:18:26.529 --> 00:18:40.289
Um it's um it's in the US uh you know I I don't you can you can find a manufacturer's rep um but generally you're on it on uh on your own in the US.
00:18:40.529 --> 00:18:50.930
Um but yeah, that's that's you know generally what I would do is to you know try to find a a sourcing agent to really minimize mistakes.
00:18:51.970 --> 00:18:52.289
Okay.
00:18:52.769 --> 00:18:53.089
Okay.
00:18:53.490 --> 00:18:55.890
No, that's that's really helpful and and good advice.
00:18:55.970 --> 00:19:00.130
And I I fully agree on on looking at places outside of China.
00:19:00.289 --> 00:19:05.329
Um I recently have had some really good luck in Mexico, um, Taiwan.
00:19:05.569 --> 00:19:11.329
Uh I think China does a great job of making themselves available for outreach.
00:19:11.650 --> 00:19:15.089
Alibaba is, you know, uh madeinchina.com.
00:19:15.170 --> 00:19:23.330
I mean, there's a lot of examples of of these platforms that put US buyers uh in front of Chinese factories.
00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:35.490
And uh it, you know, I found like my Mexico contact took a little bit more legwork, but they make outstanding products and uh from uh fulfillment time, um, we're all in North America.
00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:45.730
And so uh, you know, getting products here is a heck of a lot faster than putting them on a boat in Shenzhen and waiting 45 days and then things getting hung up in port.
00:19:45.810 --> 00:19:49.890
And so uh yeah, I I think that's really, really good advice.
00:19:50.289 --> 00:19:53.890
So um let's let's chat PPC.
00:19:54.210 --> 00:20:01.170
So I when I get my credit card statement every month, I look at what I spend on PPC and I'm always kind of bummed out.
00:20:01.250 --> 00:20:03.730
Uh I'm paying what for keywords.
00:20:03.970 --> 00:20:13.009
Um and and so uh but it it seems to be a pay-to-play platform, just you know, something that you have to do if you want to sell on Amazon.
00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:20.289
And so what uh what's working in PPC uh in 2026?
00:20:21.330 --> 00:20:25.330
Yeah, so you know, I'll speak about PPC from a high level.
00:20:25.490 --> 00:20:35.570
I don't you know directly uh get you know hands-on with um with management of campaigns anymore, um, but I think it's it's most useful to think about it from a high level.
00:20:35.810 --> 00:20:42.529
Um so you know, pay-per-click, you don't want to be totally reliant on pay-per-click.
00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:56.450
If you're um if you're a really healthy Amazon business, I would say is um around 70% organic or 60% organic, 30 or 40% pay-per-click.
00:20:56.529 --> 00:21:05.330
Um it can it can be the inverse for a lot of um D2C brands who have higher price points um and have another successful channel.
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:10.930
And so when they come over to Amazon, they want to keep the you know the prices in line with D2C.
00:21:11.009 --> 00:21:18.370
Um so that you know, you're if you're not price competitive, you're not gonna be able to achieve that sort of golden ratio that I mentioned earlier.
00:21:18.529 --> 00:21:23.970
Um so that's one thing that I always like look at um is is kind of like that ratio.
00:21:24.130 --> 00:21:29.410
Um another thing that we sort of believe in is viewing PTC in a life cycle.
00:21:29.570 --> 00:21:31.009
So you have different phases.
00:21:31.170 --> 00:21:37.730
You have your launch phase where you're investing to you know build relevance around your core keywords.
00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:45.730
Um, and you know, the KPIs are essentially you want to uh rank organically and you want to increase sales.
00:21:45.810 --> 00:21:51.890
And as long as you're seeing organic ranks increasing and sales increasing, then that's good.
00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:53.330
You're meeting the KPIs.
00:21:53.490 --> 00:21:57.650
Once those kind of top out, we bring it into our phase two, which is trimming.
00:21:57.810 --> 00:22:11.009
Um, we re-optimize it based on looking at the SQP data, the search query performance data, which tells you um your conversion rate on keywords relative to the market.
00:22:11.090 --> 00:22:14.130
Um, Amazon's ranking is all about conversion rate.
00:22:14.370 --> 00:22:22.930
So if you outconvert your competitors on a given search term, you should be ranking and you should be pushing harder on those keywords.
00:22:23.170 --> 00:22:33.890
So we'll, you know, when we initially optimize the listing, we're using um, you know, we're we're attempting to seed it with the most relevant keywords based on our research.
00:22:34.130 --> 00:22:44.289
But when you know you have a little bit of time in the market, now the the second time around, when you re-optimize it, you're doing it with real market data based on what you're out converting on.
00:22:44.450 --> 00:22:57.410
So we'll we'll reseed the listing with the right keywords, um, launch some new campaigns, and this is moving into phase three, where we um, you know, go after those keywords where we're out converting the market, give up on the keywords that you're not.
00:22:57.650 --> 00:23:00.049
And then, you know, phase four is cash cow.
00:23:00.130 --> 00:23:03.650
Phase four is like, all right, this thing has done everything.
00:23:03.730 --> 00:23:06.450
It's it's it's ranking for everything that it's gonna rank for.
00:23:06.610 --> 00:23:12.930
It's time to pull it back and get it to you know the optimal um, you know, kind of profit level.
00:23:13.090 --> 00:23:15.490
Um, and there's no need to continue to push.
00:23:15.650 --> 00:23:24.370
That's why there's like certain um softwares um out there that that don't work in these phases and they just continue to push no matter what.
00:23:24.529 --> 00:23:27.890
Um and you know, we don't we don't like those softwares.
00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:35.410
The other um thing that I would kind of point out is you don't really need to advertise every single product in your catalog.
00:23:35.570 --> 00:23:50.690
If you have uh you know a hundred products, um you may only be advertising your uh your heroes, the top 10 or 15% of your catalog, and then the rest of them are back end products that people you know you know buy and they don't really work with PPC.
00:23:50.769 --> 00:23:55.730
Or maybe that number is you know as high as 30% you advertise or 50% you advertise.
00:23:55.970 --> 00:24:00.529
But there are some products where it's okay to you know give up on PPC.
00:24:00.690 --> 00:24:03.330
PPC is not really working for this product.
00:24:03.490 --> 00:24:14.130
Um, it's a uh uh you know a small seller and it just is gonna be what it's gonna be profitably instead of continuing, you know, banging your head against the wall and losing money on it.
00:24:15.970 --> 00:24:16.289
Yeah.
00:24:17.330 --> 00:24:38.690
What what in a I'm sure the correct answer to this is it depends on the products, but uh just generally speaking, looking at tacos, which uh for our listeners would be your ad spend divided by your revenue, for a healthy established Amazon brand, what would you expect a healthy tacos to be?
00:24:39.410 --> 00:24:47.970
Super healthy, eight to twelve, uh still healthy, fifteen to eighteen, anything above that is starting to get a little less than ideal.
00:24:49.170 --> 00:24:49.490
Okay.
00:24:50.289 --> 00:24:50.610
Okay.
00:24:51.730 --> 00:24:53.250
Um that makes yeah.
00:24:53.410 --> 00:24:55.730
I that makes sense.
00:24:55.890 --> 00:24:59.090
That that makes sense, and uh, and I would tend to agree with that.
00:24:59.250 --> 00:25:06.210
It seems like there's a lot of Amazon sellers that sell at breakeven and they're kind of like a hamster running on a wheel.
00:25:06.450 --> 00:25:12.610
And uh it seems like PPC tends to sometimes create that scenario.
00:25:13.170 --> 00:25:14.690
What do you think about that?
00:25:15.330 --> 00:25:16.610
Yeah, a hundred percent.
00:25:16.690 --> 00:25:23.410
Uh I think a lot of people just do it because they feel like they're supposed to do it, they're they're not really tuned into their data.
00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:26.049
Um, and so yeah, I I totally agree.
00:25:26.210 --> 00:25:35.490
Or maybe they're there a uh you know a Chinese seller that is uh doing a Taobao strategy and is just willing to break even for five years to eat your lunch, right?
00:25:35.570 --> 00:25:38.130
So that's another uh possibility.
00:25:39.490 --> 00:25:41.330
Yeah, absolutely.
00:25:41.890 --> 00:25:45.890
So let's talk AI.
00:25:46.049 --> 00:25:51.250
AI is a hot topic right now, and it seems to be changing by the day.
00:25:51.650 --> 00:25:58.850
What are some things that you're using AI for in your business and and what kind of results are you getting?
00:25:59.650 --> 00:26:15.330
Yeah, so I would say um it's it's been really helpful for you know market research, um, you know, listing optimization, um, really good for idea generation around um imagery.
00:26:15.490 --> 00:26:21.970
Well uh while it's not uh totally a great designer yet, we still have um you know graphic designers today.
00:26:22.210 --> 00:26:32.210
Um you know, uh reporting um has been really big for us in the agency and just pulling data in in a really clean and uh easy to understand way.
00:26:32.370 --> 00:26:35.490
Um so I'd say that's that's probably my favorite so far.
00:26:35.890 --> 00:26:45.490
Um you know, and then just I would say project-based things, um, you know, like we said, new new uh product development, um, it could be helpful for.
00:26:45.730 --> 00:27:01.009
Um and then it's getting to the point where you know we're we're deploying AI agents with um, you know, using Claude code and co-work that are replacing a lot of the functionalities of our Filipino uh-based virtual assistants, right?
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:08.370
Um just things that they would check on a day-to-day basis, like account health checks, um, you know, making sure nothing's wrong.
00:27:08.529 --> 00:27:12.930
Um, you know, things that are kind of like repeatable and and robotic.
00:27:13.090 --> 00:27:17.410
Um we're you know, building out agents that kind of do those things.
00:27:17.570 --> 00:27:24.370
Um but we don't yet have uh a complete role that it's totally replaced yet.
00:27:26.529 --> 00:27:26.850
Okay.
00:27:27.410 --> 00:27:27.730
Okay.
00:27:29.250 --> 00:27:31.250
Yeah, that that that makes sense.
00:27:31.330 --> 00:27:39.090
And it's interesting the we're starting to see the changing of workforce.
00:27:39.250 --> 00:27:44.370
Um where, you know, that was kind of the scare was what, you know, is AI gonna take our jobs?
00:27:44.529 --> 00:27:58.289
And and I would say six months ago, my opinion on it was no, it's gonna be like putting a rocket on your back, and you're gonna be able to be incredibly, you know, a lot more efficient.
00:27:58.529 --> 00:28:05.970
Um and the quantity of work that you're gonna be able to get done in an eight-hour shift is is gonna exponentially grow.
00:28:06.210 --> 00:28:15.170
Um as it continues, we're uh I've noticed that in my own business where yes, the tasks go a lot faster.
00:28:15.330 --> 00:28:22.610
Uh, you know, an account uh health check may have been 30 to 60 minutes, and and now it can be done in five.
00:28:22.850 --> 00:28:28.049
And uh so you're looking for more projects for those people, but yeah, absolutely.
00:28:28.610 --> 00:28:43.009
Um when you're looking at uh a brand, um, say doing an audit on a brand, what are some uh things that you tend to notice um that will result in quick wins for for a brand?
00:28:43.650 --> 00:28:51.009
Yeah, well, uh uh one of the you know first things we look at is are there any reimbursements available or is there any money that Amazon owes them?
00:28:51.170 --> 00:28:54.850
That could be an easy conversation during an audit if we find money for them.
00:28:54.930 --> 00:28:57.490
Um sellerize, again, is a great tool for that.
00:28:57.650 --> 00:29:01.250
Um another thing is the skew by skew profitability that I mentioned.
00:29:01.330 --> 00:29:11.250
A lot of um you'd be surprised how many brand owners and manufacturers are um uh shocked to hear that some of their products are losing money on Amazon for one reason or another.
00:29:11.410 --> 00:29:26.769
Uh we look at inventory age, which is you know, are you doing a we we try to you know keep inventory levels um ideally between like uh you know 60 to 120 days because once you go past 180 days, you're paying long-term storage fees.
00:29:26.930 --> 00:29:31.970
Under 30 days, um, you're you're paying low inventory fees, and then of course stockouts are bad.
00:29:32.210 --> 00:29:36.930
So um, you know, looking at the inventory age, and then kind of the other things we're talking about.
00:29:37.090 --> 00:29:44.690
What, you know, are is their ratio healthy of organic to paid, and then you know, are the PPC campaigns structured proper uh properly?
00:29:44.850 --> 00:29:46.370
Are the listings good?
00:29:46.529 --> 00:29:48.690
Um is kind of an obvious one, right?
00:29:48.769 --> 00:29:53.170
I mean, it's like you're at the end of the day, you're running a race and your car is your listing.
00:29:53.330 --> 00:29:59.810
Um so if you're in a slow car, then you're not gonna be able to win the race, regardless of if you do the other things right.
00:30:00.210 --> 00:30:07.650
Um yeah, I'd say that those are you know generally the things that we're that we're looking at.
00:30:09.090 --> 00:30:10.130
Okay, okay.
00:30:10.289 --> 00:30:11.570
That makes sense.
00:30:11.970 --> 00:30:12.450
All right.
00:30:12.610 --> 00:30:18.130
Well, can you tell us a little bit more about online brand growth and what type of clients you work with?
00:30:18.610 --> 00:30:25.570
Yeah, so we work with uh brands and manufacturers, we don't work with um uh Amazon resellers.
00:30:25.890 --> 00:30:42.370
Um and we ideally it's a brand that's doing at least a half million on the platform, but we do work with startups if they have a track record of um success in another channel, whether it be e-commerce or retail, right?
00:30:42.529 --> 00:30:54.769
Because then there's kind of proof of concept that when you come over to Amazon, um it it could work, and they're uh hopefully some you know branded search there that could that could help coming from those other channels.
00:30:55.009 --> 00:31:04.610
Um and then you know, we really want to work with um clients who are who are um you know involved in their e-commerce business.
00:31:04.690 --> 00:31:11.650
It's not a you know, not a side project, they're committed, um, they're willing to do what's necessary to to execute.
00:31:11.890 --> 00:31:23.810
Um and you know, just just have good communication because I think if the communication kind of breaks down with any agency and the expectations are not clear on either side, that's when things can you know go really.
00:31:24.610 --> 00:31:29.890
All right, John, uh, we've got four questions at the end of every show that we ask every guest.
00:31:29.970 --> 00:31:31.410
Uh call it the fire round.
00:31:31.490 --> 00:31:32.210
Are you ready?
00:31:32.450 --> 00:31:33.490
Yeah, let's do it.
00:31:33.810 --> 00:31:34.210
All right.
00:31:34.289 --> 00:31:35.970
What's your favorite book?
00:31:36.210 --> 00:31:40.049
Um, Who Not How by Dan Sullivan?
00:31:40.690 --> 00:31:41.170
Great one.
00:31:41.250 --> 00:31:41.970
That's a great one.
00:31:42.130 --> 00:31:43.250
What are your hobbies?
00:31:44.610 --> 00:31:53.890
Um I like uh scuba diving, um uh watching sports, um long walks on the beach.
00:31:54.450 --> 00:31:56.049
Very nice, very nice.
00:31:56.210 --> 00:32:00.130
What is one thing that you do not miss about working for the man?
00:32:02.370 --> 00:32:11.970
Um I do not miss uh having to be on on somebody else's time and um yeah, missing my kids' soccer games and and everything like that.
00:32:14.769 --> 00:32:16.769
Yeah, agree, agree.
00:32:17.090 --> 00:32:26.210
And final question what do you think sets apart successful e-commerce entrepreneurs from those who give up, fail, or never get started?
00:32:28.130 --> 00:32:31.410
Yeah, I think that a big one is never get started.
00:32:31.570 --> 00:32:34.529
You know, you have to be willing to look stupid.
00:32:34.610 --> 00:32:50.850
Um, you have to be willing to fail, um, and you have to be um relentlessly hopeful um because you will probably have to pivot several times.
00:32:51.009 --> 00:32:58.289
Um but if you have you know continued hope and continued drive, you'll you'll find something that works.
00:32:58.769 --> 00:32:59.410
Very good.
00:32:59.650 --> 00:33:00.289
Very good.
00:33:00.450 --> 00:33:05.810
Now, John, if people are interested in getting in touch with you, uh what's the best way to do that?
00:33:06.610 --> 00:33:09.970

Really enjoyed our conversation and uh thank you for having me on.
00:33:35.970 --> 00:33:36.690
Absolutely.
