Episode description

On today's new "coaches corner" podcast episode Robin Joy and Brian answer several why questions related to the 100 ASIN challenge that we teach to ensure success on Amazon.   They also discuss a powerful benefit beyond ASINs being added as a replen and that is Amazon's Account Health Rating (AHR)    "To ensure your AHR is evaluated in context of the size of your business, you also gain 4 points for every 200 successful orders you fulfilled over the last 180 days." https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G200205250?ref=ahd-ahr-lm   When they say, "Use a 3-step check and a 4-week test to build a 5-figure business in 6 months or less…if you're consistent!" What is the significance of 5-figures and 6 months? Why is $10,000/mo in sales significant?   Why is 6 months or less significant?   Why is 100 ASINs significant?   Famous Quote Strength doesn't come from what you CAN do; it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't — Rikki Rogers (author)   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Can a seller actually get themselves into trouble with Amazon by reporting other sellers and attempting to build a case against other sellers?    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/XwCA6JhpRMo   Show note LINKS:   Get a free business growth consulting session with an e-commerce consultant on our coaching team.
