80/20 Accelerator Program

Every week I get dozens of questions like this

• How do I find a profitable product away from the crowds?  
• How do I find a trustworthy supplier for my Amazon FBA product? 
• How do I launch on Amazon FBA?
• How can I create 2 products on amazon earning at least $10k per month? 
• How can I successfully launch my first product and make sales in 2021”
• Where can I find a suitable product or range of products to launch on Amazon?

The good news is those questions can have relatively simple answers if you get the right help. 

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 in 2021.  

​
How does 80/20 Accelerator Work? 

This is a 3-month intensive group coaching program that will help you launch your first products to sell on Amazon in 2021.

 Every week, we’ll have a 60-minute live coaching call where I’ll review your progress, answer your questions, help you get “unstuck”, and hold you accountable every week so you will successfully launch your Amazon business in 2021..  

It will be like a closed mastermind of around 20 students, so you’ll have my personal attention and support with growing your business… and getting unstuck from your problems.   

You will be asked to complete a pre-call form with your questions and attach supporting documents via Google Docs no later than 48 hours before the call. This way, I’ll be able to give you the best and most specific possible advice to solve your problems and move your business forward.  

In this program, we will 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:

PHASE 1 CREATE: 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
• PULL the trigger on the products to launch

By the end of PHASE 1 (the first 4 weeks) you’ll have a product selected, know how to differentiate this product, and start finding a trustworthy supplier to manufacture it.  

PHASE 2 BUILD: 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 
• Identify 3rd party logistics warehouses to deal with Amazon inventory restrictions

By the end of PHASE 2, you’ll find a trustworthy supplier to make the right product, at the right quality, and the right price, and deliver it at the right time so you can launch it on Amazon.  

PHASE 3 SELL: Product Launch - Sales & Marketing 

• Amazon Product Listing Optimization Strategies including SEO, Keyword selection, Product images, 
• Learn ways to get more reviews without getting suspended 
• Amazon Launch Strategies that are working in 2021
• PPC Advertising campaign optimization to run profitable campaigns
• Insights on what red flags to look for so you don't waste time/money

By the end of PHASE 3 you will have launched your first product on Amazon and ready to repeat the process with the next product.  

BONUS: Access to my Rolodex 

When I first started with my ecommerce business, I had no idea who to turn to. 

Which suppliers are good? Which aren’t? 

How can I find a sourcing agent that I trust? 

Can I even trust this quality control company from China? How do I screen them?

It took me YEARS of trial and error and making some painful and EXPENSIVE mistakes to find the right suppliers and partners that I could trust and rely on - so I could spend more of my time GROWING my business rather than interviewing potential sourcing agents, quality control agents, freight forwarders, and more. 

By joining 80/20 Ecom Accelerator, I’ll save you all of that hard work and time.

I’ll give you access to the contacts in my private Rolodex, that I only share with my coaching students:

- Sourcing agents - to help you find suppliers that you cannot find.  Also to help consolidate samples to ship you in a single shipment to save you money.  And with great communication skills to save you from getting stuck in Alibaba HELL.  

-Freight forwarders that are familiar with the whole FBA process so they don’t mess up your shipment and cause expensive delays.

-Inspection agencies to be your eyes and ears on the ground at the factory to catch any problems before they leave the factory floor.

- Packaging suppliers to make Apple quality packaging that will create a 5 star unboxing experience for your products and help you sell at a higher price.

- PPC Experts - to help you setup your PPC campaigns so that are profitable and optimized from the start.  

- Product Photographers - to take photos of your product on the ground in China or India so you can save time and money rather than shipping it to yourself.

- Split testing companies to help you decide on the right product designs, color variations, packaging designs, and product and lifestyle images that will generate the highest conversions on Amazon.

This way, with my private network of contacts I’ll remove the guesswork, and you'll be able to set up your business in months, not years.

DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? 

Here’s are some of the results from my coaching students:

Alan V:  “We’re now doing 6 figures and built a small team!”

“Last year was a challenge but we managed to pull through. We’re now doing 6 figures and built a small team, much thanks to the value you provided in your coaching program and 7 Figure Seller Summit.”

Matt and Sharon S.: “Products are going well and averaging $100k a month”  

“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”

Here’s what my students LOVE about the 80/20 Ecom Accelerator:

 

Elfrida A. “When I started the whole process, I was totally lost… I didn't know where to start. Thanks to the program, I am launching my first product.”

At the beginning I was hesitant to do it. I thought it was going to be one of those courses where I was going to spend my money and I wasn’t going to learn anything.

I didn’t know where to start and thanks to this program and Gary’s help and guidance I was able to understand how to find a product. Make it unique. 

Doing this accelerator program helped me see things from a different perspective. Thanks to the program, I am launching my first product.

I love the whole experience. Sometimes going to the process of becoming an e-commerce seller can be overwhelming but taking this accelerated program helped me to see that you are not alone. 

There are other people going through the same experience. You get to interact with other people that are going through the same process as yourself. With those interactions and Gary’s guidance, I was able to learn effectively.

I really recommend the program to anybody that really wants to learn the right way. Anybody that wants to succeed and learn the right way.  Why? It’s totally worth it. Gary really wants to see people grow by sharing his knowledge and experience. He really gives you the tools to grow.

Nancy and Kristen W: “having to complete week-by-week goals we set for ourselves kept us on track. Great experience!

We were honored to be invited to Gary's Accelerator Group. We fortunately felt comfortable with his knowledge and integrity after watching 7 Figure Seller Summit Seminars in past years. 

Our mother/daughter company started on a whim, fun and interesting, and grew to a serious project for us. We had gained lots of knowledge, but were never able to really to go forward. Mostly cold feet spending money, then getting past sample evaluation to an actual product on line. Time went on and on and on - more learning, learning, learning but no listings! 

Finally, we felt this is it! Now or never! Go for it! Gary gently, but consistently answered questions, determined what our real fears were and supported our efforts right to getting through whatever was holding us back. He has a never-give-up attitude. 

He has amassed a treasure of helpful resources. And having to complete week-by-week goals we set for ourselves kept us on track. Great experience!

Brandon C - “this format of coaching has changed the way I think about running a business”

One of the biggest gifts I got from your accelerator coaching is to think like an entrepreneur: solve problems. This program taught me to be independent and resourceful when faced with problems….

More importantly, I'm moving away from being fed with info and moving towards solving problems and creating solutions. 

This open format of coaching has changed the way I think about running a business from taking templates and waiting for instructions to solving problems myself and bounce back in the face of challenges.

Kristen: “Now I know how to fix this ourselves.” 

“You've got so many good ideas and how you understand what the problem is. And you know how to motivate us. Now I know how to fix this ourselves. You weren't pushy. But you did say it was more like, you do need to get like a time period to get this done.”

Cherry M: “I got a lot of help just from listening to other people”

“I really liked how personalized it was, and that you went through everybody's specific problems in it, each stage. They were at, I got a lot of help just from listening to other people whether they were a bit more advanced than I was or a lot more advanced. It was good. It was really good.”

Travis: “you definitely went above and beyond to provide extra content!”

“I definitely learned a lot. And I, I liked hearing other people's stories, sort of learning collectively to see where other people were succeeding getting hung up and what they did to get around those hang ups. So much of being an entrepreneur is finding a way through, because there's always barriers. 

I think everybody got a lot out of it, Gary, and thank you very much, you definitely went above and beyond to provide extra content.

I definitely liked all the bonuses. I think also what went well, for me was, I keep coming back to the roadmap. I love that you've sort of helped outline the process for people on getting a product selected, landed and listed. And there are so many parts of this where everyone's on their own journey. So there can't be an exact roadmap, but what can be roadmaps you did for us? And that's, that's very helpful. 

Chinedu O: “Definitely what went well was the accountability” 

“Well, definitely what went well was the accountability because, you know, once when it's every week, you're sending us the email reminder. So I think everyone is different anyway. But it's that constant reminder.

Yes, I need to be working on this because I have the call coming up… So you can't really make that information up. 

Because two things are going to happen is either you're going to start making it up, and then eventually, it's going to catch up to you. 

So you can't really make anything else because it's going to be LIVE, because you will show that you're not doing anything, or you're just not going to have any questions. So that obviously means that you may not be doing the work. And at the end of the day, it's really up to you.

​​Lorenzo F: “Having Gary in my corner gave me the confidence to source product that would be considered more difficult”

“Having Gary in my corner gave me the confidence to source a 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.”

Brian V “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” 

“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.” 

WHY WORK WITH ME?  

Here’s what some of you have said why you 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. " 

When does the program begin? 

The Accelerator Program will begin next week on Mon Jan 18th at 8pm EST.  Calls will take place every Monday at 8pm EST.

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 pull the trigger on launching your product on Amazon in 2021

This program IS NOT right for you if you are:

• Looking for a “Get rich quick scheme” 
• Don’t have at least $4k-$5k of capital to invest in your business
• Are not able to attend the Mon 8pm EST weekly calls
• Not going to take action (this is not a TV show for entertainment, it’s an accelerator to help you grow your business every week)

Cost: $599/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.  

This may seem like a lot but what’s the cost of missing this once in a lifetime business opportunity?  

10 Years from now when you are looking back at 2021 do you want to say I wish I started my online business or do you want to say yes that was the year I got started and look at me now. 

Payment options: 3 monthly payments of USD $599 per month or 1 single payment of US $1499 (Save $298)

Deadline - I will take signups now and doors will close Friday Jan 15th at 11:59PM PST.  

FAQ:

Q: How long will it last? 

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

Q: Is 1 hour is enough time to get answers to various questions?

A: This one hour will be your GOLDEN HOUR of the week for your business.  You will get your questions answered.  You will get unstuck.

You will learn the Mindset of an Entrepreneur how to view problems and come up with solutions.  

You will learn from questions asked by other students.

I always make sure everyone gets enough time as long as they pre-submit their questions. Sometimes we consolidate similar questions. So for example, if Jackie had a question similar to Windy we will combine those questions and answer both at the same time and then get some feedback from you. It's worked well for past students.Sometimes we may go over the time limit and my students say I always go above and beyond for them.  I always do my best to get to everybody to help as much as I can. 

Q: What about product research refining?

A: I'll teach you 11 ways to find profitable product ideas away from the crowds. You will generate a list of product with at least 50 ideas by the end of week 1. 

And then we're going hold you accountable to that and then the second week we're going to come back we're going to help you refine that list. We're going to look for the “3 Yes” products. We're going to look at what's what are the high potential products that are the low hanging fruit.   Which ones are higher up? That would be more difficult.

We will help you with your research to discover the modifications that customers want to help you differentiate your product and create a listing that converts.

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: Is this suitable for a total beginner?

A: Yes, this is for you if you are just starting out, because you're coming in with a blank slate.  We will guide you through the entire roadmap to launch a profitable product on Amazon FBA. So you'll learn a system to come up with product ideas on your own.  

You will also learn to develop the Mindset of an Entrepreneur.  And to think like an entrepreneur to solve problems so you can be independent and resourceful when faced with problems.

And move away from being fed with info and moving towards solving problems and creating solutions.

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.  In fact I will even invite guest speakers in bonus trainings on top of our weekly calls.
