In the United States only about $15 out of each $100 worth of stuff we buy is spent online. Amazon is responsible for roughly $5 of that. Amazon is huge in internet sales, but puny relative to all the goods Americans buy.

Gurus try to confuse you by counting only Amazon's share of online sales, and ignoring the rest of retail.

"The methods taught by Steven are totally different from the techniques taught by other similar programs and FBA; and in my experience are identical to the ones I have learned during my MBA course and implemented while preparing my dissertation thesis."

Do you want to get into these retailers?
Retailers do not want copycat products that cannibalize other product sales.
Retailers want products that customers are eager to buy, and add to the store profits.
- 1A WINNING PRODUCT We teach you how to identify and evaluate products that will succeed at retail as well as online. Not copycat products. Products that are profitable, and have zero competition. Products that you do not find using FBA tools.
- 2DRIVING CUSTOMER DEMAND We teach you about retail packaging (different than online packaging.) We teach you how to ensure your products sell successfully both in retailers and in ecommerce. We teach you about about WTP pricing, inventory financing, shelf impact, GTM strategy, about sell-to marketing, and sell-through marketing.
- 3FINANCE & BUSINESS We teach you about optimized business, developing a full brand, about financing, about cash flow, about supply chain and logistics, about valuation, about shareholders, and about exits. It's all critically important. You'll even hear from an M&A partner who sold a niche brand for $1.4B, based on the same principles we teach. (A fully documented case study - not a fake guru boast.)
- 4SALES We teach you how to sell to retailers - from independent & specialty retailers to big box stores. We teach how to talk to Buyers, what to say, and the best ways to contact them. When you begin with the right product, the sales come easily. We teach you how to build a sales force, and sell your products in the US when you are halfway around the world. And as most Amazon Sellers know, products in retailers do even better on line.
- 5GROWTH and PROFITS Here is the best part. Retailers are not one-time purchasers. When you make one sale to a retailer they re-order again, and again, and again, for years. That's recurring revenue. That's why Angels and Investors love when you sell to retailers. Your revenue grows as you scale your product line, as you scale the number of stores, as you scale into big chains, and as you scale to new regions and countries. And since retailers do not want products that cannibalize each other, once you are on their shelves, you won't wake up every morning wondering if competitors appeared overnight. This is the business you want to build, and we teach you how to do it.
We do not teach quick hacks and get-rich tricks.
We require hard work, patience, and intelligence.
We do not talk about sales.
We earn PROFITS.
We do not live and die by the whims of Amazon
We own our business and control our destiny.

Change Your Mindset
Change Your Mindset
Profits come from Products.
The harsh truth is the foundation of FBA is marketing, not developing products and brands.
The FBA formula is to find an existing product - with good sales, minimal reviews, and vulnerabilities - and maneuver past them with better copywriting, better PPC management, better ranking, deeper discounts, and so on. Many FBA gurus encourage people to start by listing any 'good enough' product and learn-by-doing. Some gurus blatantly claim that the product does not matter, just the niche and the score from research tools.
The worst things I have heard gurus telling Amazon sellers that it's okay to lose money your first year since you're learning the system. Recently some Amazon gurus have been telling sellers it's alright to lose money for two or three years, and wait to make a profit until they exit to an aggregator. That's not the approach we take.
In Product Development Academy, we teach that products must be PROFITABLE from the start, must have customer demand, must be sold in as many places as possible, and through as many sales channels as possible. This is not radical. This is not new. In fact, it’s old. It’s the way products have been created and brought to market for generations.
As the New York Times clearly points out, Amazon is responsible for only $5 out of every $100 that people spend buying things. The Department of Commerce, and Amazon's Annual Reports, state the same percentage. That means Amazon is a very small piece of the pie. No matter how tasty that is, you are missing out on all the rest. (And Retailers aren't inundated with hijackers, counterfeiters, and shady sellers using black hat tricks.)

Think about the entire pie. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET.
If you have the skills to succeed with FBA then you can succeed with developing products that sell across the entire US retail environment. Change your mindset from competitive marketing, to compelling products. Change your mindset from leveraging other people's success, to developing your own.
In the manufacturing industry you are changing from ODM to OEM. It’s a natural growth and we are here to help you.
It all begins with the Product.
