Interview With Top 100 Seller

If you've been in the Amazon world for any amount of time you've heard of Eric Castellano, the face of AmazonLit.

He and his business partners Sebastian and Ted started in Ted's basement 13 years ago.

They've since scaled to over $60M/year in sales by partnering with brands and authorized distributors.

Eric also gives a sneak peak of an upcoming software tool they're developing.

LIVE Brand Owner Negotiation

I uploaded 2 different call recordings to the Wholesale Network resources vault this week:

1) 91-min negotiation with a brand owner I've been chasing for nearly 5 years

2) 39-min final negotiation where I secured a verbal commitment from the brand

3 main things these calls teach you:

• How to handle objections

• How to have confident conversations

• How to build rapport

You will win if you use resources like these to improve your pitch as you build your business.

Add a supportive community and it'll be impossible to lose.


Credit Card Companies Make a KILLING

I realize this post isn't exactly Amazon related.

But I found it incredibly interesting to see how credit card companies actually make their money.

My conclusion:

They are absolutely raking it in.

And as Amazon wholesale sellers who spends lots of money on credit cards, we make the card companies a boatload.

Be back next week!

And remember...

You're only one supplier away!
