Summary
Today guest says, "profitable products are just everywhere" and she's right. She's followed the concepts we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and she's built an incredible business! In her previous job as a high level corporate manager she worked up to 80 hour weeks away from home, but now she enjoys a flexible schedule at home and has more than replaced her corporate income.
In fact, just a few days prior to recording this episode, today's guest hired her husband to join her so they both work from home now and have far more time with their son! It's a great story that's sure to inspire you.
We spend significant time discussing the typical challenges and strategies of the Amazon Replens selling model. Finding inventory isn't the challenge once you are trained because products can be found EVERYWHERE. The real challenges are things like building systems to scale the business and taking regular breaks to avoid burnout while chasing all the opportunity that's out there. We also tackle the topic of Amazon suspensions and managing relationships in business on this packed episode.
Today's returning guest: Cris Beam

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. It's your buddy, Jim, with Silent Sales Machine Radio. Thanks for joining me again today for a great episode with a guest. This is someone we heard from a little over a year ago. We'll stick a link in the show notes to that episode where we first met Mrs. Chris Beam. She's been in our community, like I said, a little over a year |
| 0:22.1 | selling on Amazon. She's doing between $30,000 and $40,000 a month, just her until a few days ago |
| 0:28.4 | and running at great profit margins, growing consistently. She talks today on several subjects. |
| 0:36.0 | We kind of wandered around. It was like two friends kind of getting caught up and talking about business at the same time. |
| 0:40.9 | I have a lot of respect for her approach. |
| 0:42.8 | She's very driven. |
| 0:44.3 | She's very determined. |
| 0:45.8 | She's very transparent, which I think you'll appreciate today. |
| 0:49.2 | She talks about some of the things that worry her. |
| 0:51.5 | We dive, for example, into the topic of, hey, what if Amazon |
| 0:54.3 | suspends me? How concerned should I be? What is the proper mindset for us to have about |
| 0:59.5 | playing an Amazon sandbox? How much control do they have over my life and income? Should I get a |
| 1:05.3 | warehouse? Should I make big investments with them having so much power? We had fun with that. We had fun talking about |
| 1:12.9 | when is the right time to hire. How do you grow your team? Should I be bringing other people on |
| 1:17.3 | board? What roles should they play? So it was just a really good time of hanging out and talking |
| 1:22.1 | with someone whose business has been consistently growing, doing the replins model, the proven |
| 1:26.8 | Amazon course.com course that |
| 1:30.0 | teaches most new sellers, the replins model. That's what we talked about. That's what she's doing. |
| 1:37.1 | She's going to be getting into some private labels soon. We talk about the strategy that she's |
| 1:41.2 | probably going to be using there and some ideas that she has there. |
| 1:49.4 | We're going to talk about how easy it is to find products. We both agree and we see it over and over in our community. The people who are saying, I just can't find anything to sell, those are the |
| 1:53.4 | people who are brand new to our community or they haven't taken the proven Amazon course yet. |
