  • How to overcome brand objections when doing outreach

  • Amazon partners with JetBlue for satellite internet

Breaking Down Brand Objections

I just posted a new YouTube video breaking down the most common objections you'll face when reaching out to brands for wholesale accounts.

Most sellers give up after the first "no" or never even start because they're afraid of rejection.

This video walks through the exact scripts and strategies I use to handle objections like:

  • "We already have enough sellers"
  • "We don't sell to Amazon sellers"
  • "Your order quantities are too small"

The key is understanding that most objections aren't actually rejections.

They're just requests for more information.


The College Dropout Selling Millions

This week's podcast episode features Sadeq Wahab, who dropped out of college and built a multi-million dollar Amazon business through arbitrage and wholesale.

His story isn't your typical "overnight success" nonsense.

It's full of failures, pivots, and hard lessons learned.

We dive deep into:

  • How he scaled to millions in sales
  • His biggest mistakes (and how he overcame them)
  • His advice to up and coming sellers


Amazon Faces Massive Class Action Lawsuit

Amazon is facing a class action lawsuit representing 288 million customers.

The issue: The company overcharged for products sold by third-party sellers.

The lawsuit alleges Amazon violated antitrust laws through "Platform Most Favored Nation" policies that prevent third-party sellers from offering lower prices on competing platforms.

Potential damages could reach billions of dollars.

The case centers on Amazon controlling 72% of the online retail marketplace and using that dominance to inflate referral fees.

My take: This is Amazon's chickens coming home to roost. For years, sellers have complained about getting squeezed by policies that benefit Amazon at everyone else's expense.

Don't expect Amazon to change their ways overnight. They'll fight this tooth and nail.


Amazon Teams Up With JetBlue for Sky-High Internet

JetBlue will be the first airline to implement Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite technology starting in 2027.

Project Kuiper's low Earth orbit satellites provide more reliable service than traditional satellite systems, supporting streaming and other high-usage activities during flight.

Amazon already has over 100 Kuiper satellites in orbit and plans to begin delivering service to customers later this year.

My take: Amazon is playing the long game here. This isn't just about better airplane Wi-Fi.

It's about building infrastructure that could compete with Starlink and traditional internet providers.

Amazon's betting big on satellite internet because they see it as the next frontier for connecting customers everywhere.

Thanks for reading, be back next week!
