Transcript: (note- this is a new tool I am trying out so it is not perfect- it does seem to be getting better)
Rich & Nila: [00:00:00] Oh absolutely. And, and that’s one of the things that when we started this five years ago or whatever, we said we want to have our sponsors, these people are the ones that are paying for the synthesis, how we can keep it so reasonable. These people help pay to keep the event going and we want them in the rooms when with the, the attendees and that way during the breaks and things, they can go around to all of these tables and visit with the other people that are there. And that is a key to networking and a key to being with that because a lot of people don’t know what’s out there and what they can use or what’s available in the ecommerce industry. So it’s, it is fascinating. So yeah, I’m meeting other people. What do you can use the services or not is incredible.
Cool Voice Guy: [00:00:55] Welcome to the ECOMMERCE. We focus on the people, the products, and the process of ecommerce selling today. Here’s your host, Steven Peters in.
Stephen: [00:01:09] Hey, great opportunity here, right? You’re ready to buy. You’re ready to sell. Uh, if you could look for some cashflow, a now might be a great time to jump back into Ra at OAA. Lots of people do it. There’s some people that that’s all they do. They only work this time of year, sell enough, and then take the rest of the year off, sipping drinks on a beach in Bali. Vow. Anyway, though, the outliers. Let’s talk about the rest of us, but if you want to add back Ra, no way. Then I have a great group for you. It’s through amazing freedom. Our friends at amazing freedom, my friends at amazing freedom and it’s Gaye Lisby specific. She is an unbelievable teacher. And so what the deal they offered us through this podcast is two weeks free. So it’s a two week free trial, so there’s no risk to you at all.
Speaker 3: [00:01:51] So it’s amazing. Freedom.com, forward slash momentum, hyphen arbitrage. That’s it. Okay. You’re going to get two weeks free, but here’s the deal. If you sign up now between now and September 15, so that’s coming up in less than two weeks by September 15th. If you’re a subscriber and you stick through to black Friday, you’re going to get Gaye’s black gold list. Okay, so the beauty of it, it’s a black Friday list, right? If you’ve ever went out shopping at a black Friday list, when you we’d send shoppers out, we’d go to a whole bunch of different places and you get those peak items. Great News. Now you can order a bunch of them online too, but you also want to do, but to have a list in your hands, you go in, I buy these three items. Boom, I’m out of there. Well, she gives you that list and that is a list they sell.
Speaker 3: [00:02:35] It’s expensive. However, if you’re a member and you’re a member by September 15th and you stick your way through to black Friday, you automatically get it for free, so you got to act fast. Try the two weeks. It’s completely free. See what you get. Look at those daily finalist and then say, Huh, for the small fee, it is a month. This is worthwhile for me, especially this quarter. Get somebody’s buying for you. Give them this list. This is you’re going to invest in, this is a simple testing tool for you to see, hey, is this something I could be good at, man, invest now, take the two weeks free and try it. I love it, love it, love it, and trust her 100 percent. She is such a teacher. Um, go check out our group. Okay? Amazing. Freedom.com, forward slash momentum. How you find arbitrage. Know the other sponsors.
Speaker 3: [00:03:19] I want to talk about a seller lambs scope and we just launched a new product. I’m very excited about it. It’s wholesale and private label combined for us. Kind of a bundled thing that we do. Um, but I’m very excited because we used scope to help me with the keywords because it’s such a big deal. Figuring out the keywords. How are you going to rank for this? How do you rank for this? Well, guess what we do? We go like everybody else and we figure out what the top products keywords are and then we use them also. That’s what scope allows you to do. And so it’s such a great, great product for discovering profitable Amazon keywords. And you can even use it for finding products to you can with fee, cow sale calculations, all that stuff’s included, right? And it’s, it’s just a chrome extension simple to use, simple to use.
Speaker 3: [00:04:01] We use it if you could say 50 bucks by entering the code momentum. So sellerlabs.com, forward slash scope. And enter the code womentum save 50 bucks. That’s real money. Save it please. And finally, I don’t want to Miss Karen Locker solution for ecommerce solutions. The number for ecommerce forward slash momentum is our link. I’m a Karen, spent a sponsor, my show, I guess it’s almost three years now and it’s been phenomenal. The people that are still with Karen all those years, including me, I pay the same price you do. It’s because the consistency. Um, so many times, you know, I get these emails, hey stranded inventory report. Boom. I, you know, I look at it but I don’t have to do anything because there’s a member of my team, somebody that we can count on to help my wife and I with our business so we don’t have to pay attention to it.
Speaker 3: [00:04:49] That’s what I like. That’s what I needed. And so solutions four ecommerce care locker, her team, um, I get notes from all the time I launched it. I think I talked about this last time. I launched a ton of products, the same product that I’m using scope for. I sent her, here are the images here and now we do the key words. We do all that stuff upfront. She does a flat files for me. Boom. They went in. It was perfect. No feedback. I don’t have anything to change because it was done exactly as it was supposed to be, but I didn’t have to mess with it. And it’s not that I can’t, it’s not that I’m above it, it’s just that it allows me now to focus on this other piece. And so when you’re a small company like ours, when you have other people on your team working with you, working for you, it just makes the difference.
Speaker 3: [00:05:27] And you know, I’ve said it for three years. Again, I look for consistency overtime and Karen’s given me that, um, is it perfect? No, Steve’s never perfect. And so she keeps me on track and really helps us when we need it. And so it’s been a great relationship and I’m just so proud to offer it. I’m a very careful about these things and I’m so proud to offer it. So solutions the number for ecommerce forward slash momentum, you’re going to save 50 bucks and that’s real money. Again, that’s real $50 by using my link. You don’t that link anywhere else to save the 50. And she’s going to do an inventory. Health report, storage fees. Who got hit with storage fees, right? That just happened, right? A longterm stories. Now they’re monthly, right? This quarter, they’re going to be monthly by using Karen and her team.
Speaker 3: [00:06:11] You can get that inventory health done. Boom, pull back, which you don’t need or put sales on it, whatever it is. Karen also does work on Ebay if you want them to bring your listings over to Ebay using joe list or any of the other products. She does that kind of work too, but you got to use my link solutions, the number for ecommerce forward slash momentum. Save the 50 bucks. Tell Karen I sent you and make sure that you really understand all the stuff that you can get through her service has been phenomenal. Let’s get into the podcast. Welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast. This is episode 340, rich and Nilah Saigon. You know, I’ve had Richard on before, episode [2:49] by the way. Go back and listen to his backstory, but this the first time I had Richard Nilah together, um, because they really are a couple that really come together because they spend their life together and they spend their business time together, but in a very cool way.
Speaker 3: [00:07:02] They do have separate work spaces. There’s a pro tip married couples, if you’re thinking, Hey, can we make this work? Separate spaces. Good. Uh, those had been married a long time. Sometimes getting away from each other. It’s a good thing. Um, and it can really help enhance the relationship. Time spent apart makes your heart grow fonder, right? Isn’t that the phrase or something like that. So I like what they do because they’re like 100 percent in helping other people and then the reward that they get is tenfold. Right? There’s a great lesson there and those of you who are helping people and there’s so many that do it. I see them replying to comments on Ebay or on facebook and stuff like that, hey, here’s how I do it, or whatever. That little feeling you get when you do that, multiply it by 100 and that’s what rich and Nilah do with their meetup and they have a local meetup.
Speaker 3: [00:07:52] They’ve had it for a long time and it’s evolved into econ Chicago and decide I’m going to let them pitch econ Chicago because I believe in it so strongly as a great way to kind of get your q four kind of. By then you’re, you’re, you’re probably, because it’s in October, middle of October. By then you’ve probably got your key already set, right? Everything’s done and you’re just pacing at that point. But I use it as a time to plan for next year and I think that that’s just so powerful. It gets such a great opportunity and when you look at the list of speakers that you can go and have a beer with, you can have a cup of coffee with and you can have a full conversation. That opportunity is so good. Let’s get into the podcast. Alright, welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast.
Speaker 3: [00:08:35] We’re excited about today’s guests, plural. Um, I’ve had the hubby on before, but now I’m going to bring a husband and wife on. And what I love about this couple is they are an outgoing couple, a matter of fact. They’re experiencing happy hour as we talk here now. They enjoy life and I think, I think there’s so many of us that get involved in this business and get, you know, take it so serious that we’re letting life pass us by. And here’s a couple that I think, uh, they don’t let much passing by. Richard and Nilah siack. Welcome guys. Oh, thank you very much. I think that’s a fair statement. You guys don’t let life pass you by, do you? Um,
Speaker 1: [00:09:20] with a couple of grandchildren and I’m actually three and we have a nice. We’re, we’re fortunate enough to be able to go away on weekends and enjoy our weekends in Wisconsin so well when you’re leg with a couple of boats and we really truly believe in that free time when you can get it. It’s a, it’s so relaxing. They get away from the computer.
Speaker 3: [00:09:45] Well, you guys, uh, I think about my age. Maybe a smidge older than me. You’ve been working for yourself. For how long would you say?
Speaker 1: [00:09:54] Alright, cool.
Speaker 3: [00:09:58] That’s a long time that I left. That’s a long, long time
Speaker 1: [00:10:01] at the computer sign business out of the House for about 20 years. Wow.
Speaker 3: [00:10:09] I think about that. And then we have other businesses
Speaker 1: [00:10:15] we work for ourselves.
Speaker 3: [00:10:19] So it, it, it’s been all our married life. Now think about that. Aren’t you weird when you think about it compared to your friends, not your ecommerce friends, because I know you and Robin and mark are our friends. They’re, they’re a weird couple too, but like you being in this business, but I mean compared to the rest of your friends, you guys are...
