Growing a business isn’t an easy task. How you got where you are now is not how you’ll get to the next level.
In the early days, you’re just figuring things out. Throwing whatever you can against the wall hoping that something sticks.
Eventually, a few things do stick and you have a business with revenue. Now it’s time to help your business grow into something that can stand on its own two feet.
You need systems!
The more you speak with suppliers, the quicker you’ll realize there are a few small things they are concerned about when approving you.
I’ve written a few blog posts on how to overcome the majority of these issues during the initial phone call. What’s been missing is teaching you how to create and use what we call a “One-Pager”.
Over the last 13 months, we’ve learned a lot about selling on Amazon.
When James and I started Vendrive, we understood what new sellers went through because we’re Amazon sellers ourselves and had to go through the same struggles for the longest time.
We’d built our separate wholesale companies differently. James had his small warehouse and I opted for using prep centers exclusively.
I say this because we faced different struggles while growing.
For example, James had to handle building a small team to help him with prepping and shipping out his inventory. On the other hand, I had to focus more on watching costs and ensuring nothing went unnoticed since I never saw my inventory.
