Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List
Transcript: (note- this is a new tool I am trying out so it is not perfect- it does seem to be getting better)
Stephen: [00:00:00] I’m excited to talk about my sponsors today, Gaye Lisby’s million dollar arbitrage group. Amazing, amazing group. This is a teacher. This is a Gaye, she was a teacher. She is a teacher. Still. You need to learn. This is the type of environment you want to be in because she’s going to help you understand why, and I think that’s the hardest part of this business is understanding why. Why is the red one popular when the green one isn’t? Well, there’s usually a reason and what gay does is probably parsed that better than anybody and she’ll explain the reasons for those things. I think that’s really powerful. Yes, she puts out a list. You’re going to get a good use of that list if you get in the group. Now here’s the deal. The group isn’t always open, right? So you get on the waiting list and you can join the waiting list through my link.
Stephen: [00:00:46] Doesn’t cost anything to get on a waiting list and if you like her service, which I find that most people do that, that’s why there’s not so many openings. Um, you’ll be with her for a long time. And so it’s amazing freedom.com. She’s part of Andy Slam. It’s group amazing freedom.com. Forward slash momentum. And you’re going to get in the waiting list. That’s all I can get you on right now. You can use my name and see if that gets you anywhere. But what I like about in the uh, what I like about what they teach in that group or the things that are going on, you know, the current things. I’ve seen a lot of stuff going on about stores going out of business. Well here’s where an opportunity is, here’s why you want to do this. Hey, be cautious about this, you know, with toys r US coming out, you’ve got to think about this and that’s the learning that you need to do.
Stephen: [00:01:30] And Gay is better than anybody else I’ve seen. So I’m amazing. Freedom Dot com. Forward slash momentum will get you to the waiting list. Then hopefully we can get you in the group and then you’re going to see me in there and we can chat anytime you’re ready. Karen lockers, group solutions, the number for ecommerce solutions, four ecommerce.com, forward slash momentum. It’s going to save you 50 bucks. Karen’s our account manager. We recommend her to everyone because she’s done so well for us. I mean that’s quite frankly the reason we’ve been paying her for last few years, but she’s become an important part of our team. Her and her team are so involved in our account. I just see the emails coming back and forth, hey, we did this for you. I just saw two listings today. I’m like, wait a second. Why did they show up?
Stephen: [00:02:09] I didn’t put any listings up. They got a. They got a set off to the side by Amazon and they reactivate them for me. You know what I mean? That’s the stuff that just happens when you have a strong team and I can’t recommend Karen enough if you use my code. Momentum. Karen pays me. I don’t want to hide that. Of course we all know that, but you’re going to save $50 and it’s a great opportunity to really, really build out your team with somebody you can trust. That’s why I recommend them. So solutions, four ecommerce solutions, the number four e-commerce dot com, forward slash momentum. It’s going to save you $50. Oh, and by the way, she’s going to do an inventory health report. Why is that important? Well, guess what fees are going up. Is your inventory health number declining like ours is?
Stephen: [00:02:57] Well, here’s why and what they can do. What I like is I get a spreadsheet from them and it says, Hey, here’s a bunch of inventory. Here’s what we recommend. And I’m like, Yep, refund. I mean a delete a return to us, blah blah blah, whatever it is and it’s or destroy and it just happens. That’s what I like. The other thing that I have Karen helped me with a lot is creating new listings. You know, we do a lot of the research ourselves. We upload our images and then boom, magically the listing goes live and I don’t have to worry about it. Those are the services that Karen offers. Can’t recommend her enough solutions. Four ecommerce.com forward slash momentum. Save 50 bucks. Use My code. You save $50 a month every single month and it’s a great service. Plus you get that free inventory health report.
Stephen: [00:03:43] I think it’s a really powerful way, so I can’t. I’m so excited how many people have been joining her because I see it and I’m excited because the messages I get from people saying, hey, this is great. I finally feel like I can focus on something else because Karen and her team are watching this for me and you know, I highly recommend her. Next up is scale and scope and we’ll set it rolling. It’s, it’s amazing. I mean it really is amazing when you sit back and think about, hey, I want to get this product up and it similar to this product and that’s what that product does well. Well therefore, if that product does well, they have the right keywords, they’ve chosen things correctly, so guess what? You scope and you could see all that stuff and that’s what the most powerful thing in the world is to copy somebody who’s done it right.
Stephen: [00:04:28] That’s what you want to. You want to take advantage of that, right? I mean, it’s fair to see and so therefore you can take and apply it to your listing and immediately get that same benefit. That’s what scope does for me. Sellerlabs.com, forward slash momentum. It’s going to save you $50 on the service. Oh, by the way, it’s free to try. So sign up, try it and say, oh, this is how it’s done. Boom. And then you’re going to. The light’s going to go on and you’re going to be like, man, I can get my products out there. I just can’t wait. Can’t wait. So we’re labs.com forward slash momentum. The other day I bought another domain. Yes, I bought the other domain. It’s almost like A. I’m admitting guilt, but it’s because I had an idea and it was something that was a pretty good idea I think is going to go pretty far.
Stephen: [00:05:18] And so what do I do? I go to try Godaddy.com forward slash momentum and save 30 percent. So domains aren’t very expensive. You get a few services, it adds up a little bit and I usually buy three years. I usually by privacy, by the way, I recommend that to buy that, you know, it’s not that much money, but when you can save 30 percent it makes it that much sweeter and it makes it easier when you’re buying domains and especially if you buy a bunch of domains. I am a domain collector and so I do tend to do that, but that 30 percent makes it a lot easier and I use godaddy because what I like is I can pop in an address I’m thinking and it’ll say, nope, nope, try this version or try this extension. And then boom, there it is. Hey, you better hurry before it goes away and the right, you know, and so try Godaddy.com, forward slash momentum save 30 percent.
Stephen: [00:06:07] Also want to mention about grasshopper, who was just talking to somebody the other day and they were like, Oh yeah, use this company called grasshopper. I’m like, Dude, did you buy it through my link and save 30 percent? Hello? No, they missed that. So save 30 percent. It’s try grasshopper.com forward slash momentum. No surprise there, but you’re going to save 30 percent and what the real cool part about that is they’re using it for their private label business and it gives them virtually a second phone on their current phone without having to get another number. They can make up a vanity number. They don’t have to go and do all the grief and signed loan contracts. Pretty easy stuff, and so if you’re creating a brand that you want to identify, you want to look professional, you want to look like a real company. Grasshopper is a great tool. It’s an app you put on your existing phone and boom, you now have a customer service to. You now have a sales department. You’d have a manufacturing division. You could forward it to somebody else. You can have it go to different voicemails, different departments, and it’s all included. So try grasshopper.com, forward slash momentum. Save 30 percent.
Cool voice guy: [00:07:13] Welcome to the ECOMMERCE moment, didn’t gas where we focus on the people, the products, and the process of ecommerce selling today. Here’s your host, Steven Peterson.
Stephen: [00:07:27] Welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast. This is episode three, year eight, Jeremy Wilson. You know, I love, I love a positivity. I love a good story. Um, but I’m also probably one of the few out there saying that life’s going to happen to you. Challenges happen in your life and your ability to push past them. The ability to push through them is what really will help determine your success. Unfortunately, people go through these alone, these tough times. And if you don’t have, if you’re not surrounded by the right people, not the right group of friends, not the right group of family, it can be very lonely and very, um, uh, you know, really tough. But, you know, Jeremy’s a great example of what building those relationships with no expectation. It’s not like he built them with an expectation, but when you build the depth of relationships that Jeremy’s been able to build, it can pull you through some pretty tough, tough times. And, uh, I think he does a great job explaining it. He is a going through a huge change in his life. And again, because he’s connected with the right people and they are great people, he’s going to get through it and it’s just such a cool thing when you’re in this world and this world can just move from west coast almost to completely 2,600 miles to the east coast and not skip a beat. That’s a very, very cool design lifestyle business. Let’s get into the.
Stephen: [00:08:55] Alright, welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast. Very excited about today’s guest. He’s gonna. Talk to us about change and the beauty of this business. Um, maybe I, I use the phrase designing your life style business. So when life happens as it will to every single one of us, you’re prepared and you have the ability to adapt to it. So welcome Jeremy Wilson. Welcome Jeremy. Thank you, Stephen. It’s great to have you, um, because I’ve been sitting here watching you for the last couple of years. Just put your head down, do the work and grow and add on people. And originally I thought this talk we were going to talk about and we’re still will but, but I was. The premise I was taking was surrounding yourself with the right people and uh, you know, not almost adopting them but, but really making them a big part of your life in business and what that has done for you because you’ve really, you’ve got some outliers that you’ve connected with and it’s made, you know, what I would suggest from afar, your business life and very successful. Is that fair?
Jeremy: [00:10:03] Yeah. The connections that we make through facebook and through personal meetings and conventions and stuff that we go to and everything had ever really made a huge difference in the way we do things. Um, it’s taken us in probably a hundred different directions and it’s been really exciting too. We get through all these different people that we talked to and different changes and stuff. And we’ve, I’ve modified my business. I don’t know how many times based on other people in context that we’ve made.
Stephen: [00:10:33] Yeah. Isn’t that part of. Isn’t that like the best part of your, your business life is having others that you can say, hey, here’s what I’m thinking. You have somebody who’s a, he has a vested interest in your success, but b also walking the walk along with you so they can relate. They can understand all these things because it’s complicated, right? When you, if I talk to somebody outside of our business, they’re like, oh, just do this. I’m like, well, it’s not quite as easy as that because these little factors that I never add. Oh, well, yeah, that would change things. Yeah, no kidding. So when, when there’s somebody who does the same thing you do or walks that same walk, they understand the perspective and I think that that perspective is so important.
Jeremy: [00:11:13] Right? And I’ve been really blessed to have partners with Brianna and green and Bob Steele. Um, they’ve been amazing. Um, and I’m the slacker of the group, obviously. Seriously. I mean, what they do just impresses me all the time. It’s crazy. But they also, they’re also part of what helps drive me too.
Stephen: [00:11:33] Yeah. They are both outliers. So let’s be fair. All right. Bob, who is the most humble guys you’ll ever meet in your life? Never realized the skills that he has in sourcing. Um, he’s phenomenal at it and for him it’s like, oh, it’s no big deal, and he’s literally looking at you like, really? You think this is impressive? I’m like, uh, yeah. Bob and I talked to hundreds of people. For him it’s just so easy. And then Brianna, Brianna is one of the most, I don’t know, I mean it just seems to me she is one of the most intense, maybe maybe focused whatever she focuses on. She does. I mean, it just doesn’t matter to me. And the ability to, to spend six or seven plates at one time at that level is, is phenomenal. And she is absolutely an outlier there.
Jeremy: [00:12:17] Oh, she has an energy level. It’s so intense. It’s crazy. I’m like, imagine trying to keep up with her on everything....
