Wholesale 101 (Ft. Miles & Garrett)

How do I find profitable suppliers?

How do I transition from arbitrage to wholesale?

How do I source efficiently without wasting time?

Whip out the notebook and prepare to listen to this one twice.

Me, Flips4Miles, and Garrett Gorral put together a free 41-minute Wholesale 101 Masterclass podcast episode.

(this is especially helpful for beginners and existing sellers looking to transition from arbitrage to wholesale)


[Free Resource] 3-Step Simple Sourcing Sheet

Inside our Wholesale Network community, we have a Resources Vault of 108 total pieces of content.

This includes recorded calls with suppliers, exclusivity contract templates, SOPs, in-depth sourcing analysis, and much more.

One of those pieces of content is our 3-Step Simple Sourcing Sheet.

This one page document has had the single biggest impact on my sourcing of anything I've tried.

This simple criteria, when applied correctly, has found me thousands of qualified brand leads.

It's my gift to you for being a newsletter subscriber and you can download it below:


QBO X Seller Central

Amazon just announced a game-changing new integration with Quickbooks Online.

According to the announcement, soon you'll be able integrate QuickBooks directly into your Seller Central account.

QuickBooks will provide sellers with insights on profitability, cash flow, and even potential tax liability.

Is it finally time to ditch tools like A2X or LinkMyBooks that bridge the gap between Seller Central and QuickBooks?

I guess we'll find out soon!


How To Set Goals (The Right Way)

I recently hosted a goal setting workshop inside our Mastermind community.

One of my key points:

Focusing on lead measures vs. lag measures.

Lag measures are the end result you want to achieve.

While lead measures are the inputs that directly influence lag measures.

Here's a snippet of some of my Q1 goals where I specify which ones are lead vs. lag measures:

Bottom line: I want 80% of my goals to be lead measures and only 20% to be lag measures.

Focusing on the key inputs that you can control will always pay off more than focusing on the end result.

Thanks for tuning in this week.

Remember...

You're only one supplier away!

The first AI service I ever sold was an AI audit. I still firmly believe AI audits are the single best foot-in-the-door offer if you're new to selling AI services. I sell them for $999 all day long, and people love them. They almost always lead to me selling even more expensive services to the same client. But there's one problem with an audit. Once you sell it and the client pays, you have to turn around and sell them something else. Over and over again. There's no recurring revenue baked...

Hey there, I'm allergic to trading my time for money. So when people started offering to pay me for AI consulting I shut them down immediately. And look, I'm all about hustling to make money by any means necessary. But I didn't think anyone would actually pay what I believe my time is worth (which is $1,000 an hour) so I wrote it off entirely. But the requests kept coming. So I stopped saying no and started asking a better question: What would have to be true for me to make $1,000 an hour...

Hey there, Isn't it strange that with marketing, we put our message (content, ads, videos, etc.) out first and course correct based on results? You would think in the age of AI we could at least have an educated guess about what works before spending hundreds, sometimes thousands, on marketing. Or sinking hours into content with no idea how it will land. Back in January I had a 2 hour plane ride to kill and spent the entire flight mulling this problem over in my head. I was headed to an...
