#1043: Three big reasons why right now is a great time for NEW sellers to get serious about Amazon selling
Silent Sales Machine Radio
Is it possible that sellers who start selling NOW have an advantage over those of us who started say, 4 years ago? I think so for several reasons! 1) Amazon has clarified several policies and enforcement is more consistent. 2) The tools and software we have now are incredible (i.e. automating a catalog of 1,000s of ASINs) and 3) the strategies we have available to us now are incredible compared to what we had even just a few years ago (example - finding above buy box ASINs) Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: Show note LINKS: SilentSalesMachine.com - Text...

#1042: Why you’re not getting results (even if you’re killing yourself)
Silent Sales Machine Radio
If you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back. They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You’ll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and...

#1041: Amazon has slightly changed how it reports sales rank and resellers need to know the facts
Silent Sales Machine Radio
Today we have a three-way conversation between Jimmy Smith, Brian Olson and Jim. They discuss the recent changes in the way Amazon reports sales rank on ASINs and the fairly minimal but still significant change that this will have for some resellers as they use tools like Keepa to make good inventory buying decisions. They also spend some time talking about how AI might impact the reselling business in the future. It's a great conversation with a little something for everyone, but it's not the friendliest show for newbies, as some of the topics are fairly acronym-heavy. ...

info_outlineIn 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?"
