80/20 Accelerator Program

Recently I’ve gotten dozens of coaching applications and I don’t have the bandwidth to help everyone individually so I decided to create 80/20 Ecommerce Accelerator

Here’s what people mentioned what they wanted help with:

• “My goal for the remainder of 2020 is to find a product to successfully launch my Amazon store. Realistically, we are approaching the 4th quarter and there’s only a short period of time to find a product before the holidays. After finding a product, my financial goal would be to make approximately $2000 net profit by the end of 2020.”

• “2 products on amazon earning at least £10k per month” 

• “I want to successfully launch my first product and make sales before 2021” 

• “To find a suitable product or range of products to launch on Amazon” 

And why they want to work with me specifically:

• “I have been following you for a long time and I appreciate your consistency, experience, knowledge and sense of support you demonstrate in your communication via how you host webinars and share information.” 

• "To be honest - there are tons and tons of 'gurus' out there who claim they can bring people to certain results without doing much work but is absolute garbage and it turned me off when people make a bogus claim. For me, the reason I wanna work with you is that you have tons of experiences in FBA and you're able to invite so many experts to speak at the 7-figure seller summit.  Personally, I think that's a big feat and you came across as someone who genuinely wanna help people with achieving their business goals. " 

So I’m super excited to announce 80/20 Ecommerce Accelerator - a group coaching program to give you a clear roadmap to finding the right products, from the right suppliers, to start and launch a profitable Amazon business.  

This is a 3-month program that will help you launch your first products to sell on Amazon by early 2021.

It will consist of weekly 60min live coaching calls with Gary to review your progress, answer questions, and for accountability.  It will be like a mastermind.  I’m expecting about 20 students for this group.

Students will be asked to complete a pre-call form with your questions and supporting documents via Google Docs no later than 48 hours before the call.  

In this program, we would cover a step-by-step process with the exact steps to find a profitable idea, source that product, ship it and launch it on amazon:

• Product selection
  • create a system to identify products that are DIFFERENT from the way popular research tools and what everyone else is selling
  • Help you review and shortlist the products you choose and offer my advice about which ones may have higher chances of success, and which ones are more difficult
  • Review of your business process - to find ways to make things more efficient
• Product Development, Sourcing, and Shipping
  • Help you break down the costs and fees so you can have a better idea of your product margins.  This way you can negotiate with more confidence
  • Walk you through how I find and negotiate with Chinese suppliers
  • Identify ways to quickly add SKUs for product bundles and accessories
  • Review your templates and help streamline communications with suppliers so you're not asking redundant questions
  • Freight forwarding advice to find the right way to ship your product from the factory to the Amazon fulfillment center
• Product Launch - Sales Marketing 
  • Amazon Product Listing Optimization Strategies including SEO, Keyword selection, Product images, 
  • Amazon Launch Strategies
  • PPC Advertising campaign optimization
  • Insights on what red flags to look for so you don't waste time/money
• BONUS: Access to my Rolodex of trusted sourcing agents, freight forwarders, inspection agencies, packaging suppliers, and other service providers to save you time and money and remove the guesswork out of it to help grow your business

Cost: $500/month for the accelerator program.  It will be a 3-month program to start since that is the typical time it takes to complete the first product launch cycle.  

Here’s what my coaching students have said:

“Having Gary in my [corner] gave me the confidence to sourcing product that would be considered more difficult by standards of the videos that you see online that advise you to do light product, small product, cookie cutter product, or a product that fits the formula that everybody advises you to start sourcing.” Lorenzo F

“Your coaching is very valuable to us that we found out that without your coaching, we would have made a lot of mistakes. And I just to bring up here one example that saved us thousands of dollars. There was a time when we found our first product and we were very much excited about that product and we let the emotion control us. We almost got into that scam. The supplier sent us very good samples and we almost got and committed to an MOQ of 5000 units. And then the coaching that you gave us helped us to recognize the red flags so we picked on those. And we found out that hey, this supplier is very suspicious because this and this and this and we found out that the name is not matching with the address that we receive.

And other red flags too... that's why we avoided that and after that, we stepped back and looked and we found out that we would have lost a lot of money if we didn't have your coaching. So that alone is worth the money that we spent for the coaching from you.” Brian V

“When we reached out to you we were overwhelmed. Not sure where we were heading. Once we reached out and with your experience... It gave us that direction we needed.” Matt and Sharon S., 7 Figure Amazon Sellers

Payment options: 3 monthly payments of USD $500 per month or 1 single payment of US $1350 (Save $150)

The Accelerator Program will begin next week on Tues Oct 6th at 12pm BST.  Calls will take place every Tuesday at 12pm BST.

Is this program right for you?  It is if you are:

• Getting started with your Amazon FBA business - first time doing this and unsure about everything
• Deciding on a product… and ultimately getting started and moving past the researching phase!
• Finding a trustworthy supplier to manufacture your product
• Ready to take action, be accountable for it, and not let analysis paralysis take over

Deadline - I will take signups now and doors will close Saturday Oct 3rd at 11:59pm London Time (BST).

FAQ:

Q: How long will it last? 

A: This is a 3 month Accelerator program with an option to extend month-to-month.  

Q: within the Accelerator programme if I have questions to ask you in between the weekly calls am I able to email you and get an answer to my question outside of the scheduled weekly calls? I certainly would never abuse this and bombard you, but something may come up that I need an answer specifically to so that I can make progress or achieve clarification on an issue so that I can move forward.

A: Because of the group nature of the accelerator program, I ask that you consolidate your questions for the weekly calls so you can get them answered then.  

However, if there is an URGENT question then yes I'm happy to answer it over email in between the calls.  

Q: It seems the only forum to discuss product ideas would be within the group of 20. Am I correct or is there another way of examining product ideas? And if so what is to stop someone else from copying your product idea?

A: While the degree of sharing is up to you... I will ask everyone that joins to agree to a confidentiality agreement as well as not to steal anyone else's idea.  

 Also if you feel not comfortable sharing the idea to the group, you may share with me in the pre-call form and speak in generalities on the call and we can review it without going into specifics.  

Q: Can we talk a little more about startup costs?  I can raise some funds, but how do I determine what I will need? Do you cover that? (I know Chad Maghielse said he started with $3K, but that seems so low for a plastic product where I will probably need a new mold among other things.)

A: I would budget around $5k to start.  In terms of a plastic mold - this could escalate the cost significantly and if we worked together we would discuss ways to build a minimum viable product to keep the cost manageable from the start and to reduce your risks.

Q: Do you help refer me to resources/outsourcing for what I do not know how to do yet? (Marketing, SEO, PPC/Amazon, etc.)

A: Yes I will be happy to offer resources and contacts for Sourcing, Quality Control, Freight forwarding, PPC, etc

 Q: Is it realistic to expect a launch by the spring?

 A: Spring is about 6 months away and I think it is realistic to launch a product by then - though obviously it depends on the complexity of the product.  If we were to work together then I would guide you to a path where we can launch before spring and also keep in mind the obstacles in the way so we can work around them.
