Summary
There's huge demand for PREP CENTERS among Amazon sellers. A prep center is where inventory is "prepped" for Amazon FBA warehouse storage. The sizes of prep centers range from a spare garage bay with a couple of Amazon seller clients all the way up to a massive warehouse with numerous clients. Today we are launching a course that will appeal to anyone who:
-
Wants to start a prep center in their extra space and get paid to manage inventory for others
-
Wants to be in a mastermind community of other prep center owners large and small
-
Wants to learn how to more efficiently prep their own inventory
If you might be in one of those categories, today's show is a MUST LISTEN!
The new course launches April 28th, but it's being recorded and you can join the community and get the course anytime here: SilentJim.com/prepcentertraining

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Welcome to silent sales machine radio, the podcast for |
| 0:06.4 | e-commerce warriors like you who are using the internet creatively to build the business of |
| 0:13.4 | your dreams. It's been such an honor to create over 1,100 episodes of this show. |
| 0:19.4 | The vast majority of which are conversations with very successful |
| 0:22.7 | sellers from our community who have grown up using the content and strategies we teach here, |
| 0:28.8 | built beautiful businesses, and in some cases drifted into specializations that serve the |
| 0:34.7 | rest of us. And today's a good example of that. |
| 0:40.5 | You see, we're in a blue ocean opportunity. |
| 0:44.0 | What that means is, just imagine you're fishing. |

| 1:11.1 | constantly, with fewer sellers who really know what they're doing and doing it well, |
| 1:16.8 | that is a blue ocean opportunity. So when we start talking about the services that these sellers |
| 1:23.0 | need, one of the first things that comes up is prep. What's prep? We talk about it a little bit on |
