| 00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | amazon dropship pro is linked in the |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | description okay now this course just |
| 00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | launched recently literally this week |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | and this weekend right now is the last |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | chance for you to get in at the launch |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | discount of 97 okay |
| 00:00:56 | 00:01:01 | but enough about that let's jump over to |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:03 | my computer which is right behind you |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | and i'll show you how easy it is to |
| 00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | automate your amazon stok and list |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | things with software so that you can |
| 00:01:07 | 00:01:10 | scale your drop shipping business and |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:12 | take back your time all right so now |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:14 | we've have we've added a product into |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | our seller central right we found a good |
| 00:01:14 | 00:01:18 | product at dropship okay and we've also |
| 00:01:16 | 00:01:20 | set up you know on sku girds |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:22 | specifically how we're going to actually |
| 00:01:20 | 00:01:24 | track and monitor whether that price |
| 00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | changes on our supplier or whether or |
| 00:01:24 | 00:01:28 | not it goes in and out of stok right |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:30 | now we want to automate our pricing to |
| 00:01:28 | 00:01:32 | all constantly match the buy box on that |
| 00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | specific listing okay we also know the |
| 00:01:32 | 00:01:35 | minimum price i put that into the |
| 00:01:34 | 00:01:37 | spreadsheet like i showed you before |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | right like we also know the specific |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:41 | minimum price that we're willing to take |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:43 | uh you know and we don't want to go |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:45 | below right so all this information we |
| 00:01:43 | 00:01:46 | already know it's 45.99 all this |
| 00:01:45 | 00:01:48 | information is going to be crucial when |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:50 | we actually go ahead and we put it into |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | our repricing software okay so what you |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:53 | want to do is you want to go to pricing |
| 00:01:51 | 00:01:55 | and then you're going to automate |
| 00:01:53 | 00:01:56 | pricing in seller central okay |
| 00:01:55 | 00:01:58 | then you're going to see right here it's |
| 00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | going to say customize or create a |
| 00:01:58 | 00:02:01 | customized pricing role so right here |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:03 | you're going to create a customized |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | pricing role and it's going to take you |
| 00:02:03 | 00:02:06 | to automate pricing like this okay so |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | what rule do we want well we want a |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:11 | competitive buy box rule right we want |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:12 | to match the buy box specifically okay |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:13 | now how do you want to name this rule |
| 00:02:12 | 00:02:14 | you can pretty much name it all we're |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:16 | just going to i'm going to name this |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | test right here but you can name it |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:20 | match buy box and then you want to |
| 00:02:17 | 00:02:22 | proceed to the marketplace selection now |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:24 | i'm obviously all three of these you can |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:25 | you know you might just be amazon.com |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:26 | right now or you might be selling |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | another one that's totally fine |
| 00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | regardless i'm gonna go amazon.com just |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:32 | to kind of show you |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:35 | now right here it's gonna this is the |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:37 | most important thing okay so you don't |
| 00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | to stay below the buy box price because |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:41 | if you stay below the buy box price even |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | by a cent other people's repricers might |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:45 | also do that and so it's just going to |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:47 | facilitate race to the bottom pricing |
| 00:02:45 | 00:02:48 | and nobody's going to win right so you |
| 00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | always just want to match the buy box |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:53 | price okay just match the buy box price |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:55 | you will get sales if you match the buy |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | box price and you will make money drop |
| 00:02:55 | 00:03:00 | shipping via this setup right here okay |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | now all offers on amazon are the same as |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | condition you want that do you also want |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | to compare prices that are off amazon |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | i'm going to say no we're only |
| 00:03:05 | 00:03:09 | specifically interested in matching the |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:11 | buy box price on amazon i don't care |
| 00:03:09 | 00:03:13 | what the price is on walmart i don't |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | care what the price is on you know bad |
| 00:03:13 | 00:03:15 | bath and beyond for example because |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:16 | obviously that's where we're drop |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:18 | shipping from so you want to make sure |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:20 | that this is no you're matching the buy |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:23 | box price and you're matching the same |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:24 | condition in a since specifically okay |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:25 | now do you want to continue repricing if |
| 00:03:24 | 00:03:27 | you update your price elsewhere in |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:29 | seller central i always check this yes |
| 00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | you don't have to but every once in a |
| 00:03:29 | 00:03:32 | while i'll |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | manipulate my price slightly manually so |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | i always have this click yes this isn't |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:37 | going to do anything bad for you it's |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:39 | all positive so i would just make sure |
| 00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | to click this yes as well okay |
| 00:03:39 | 00:03:44 | and then you're going to say save this |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:44 | rule in amazon.com |
| 00:03:45 | 00:03:48 | and now it's going to take you to this |
| 00:03:47 | 00:03:50 | right here where you can obviously |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | proceed to your sku selection so right |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:54 | here i'm going to use this as a test |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:56 | example so pretend that this is the |
| 00:03:54 | 00:03:58 | product i just uploaded a random book to |
| 00:03:56 | 00:03:59 | kind of show you here pretend that this |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:01 | is the product that we just uploaded so |
| 00:03:59 | 00:04:02 | what you're going to see here is you're |
| 00:04:01 | 00:04:05 | going to see your price which i believe |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:07 | was 54.99 which was what we matched the |
| 00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | buy box price at okay so we're going to |
| 00:04:07 | 00:04:11 | say that it's go it should say right |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:13 | here 54.99 is what our price is right |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | now our maximum price you can set this |
| 00:04:13 | 00:04:17 | to whatever i'm going to say 999 every |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:18 | once in a while when you go to save this |
| 00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | as a rule it's going to tell you that |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:22 | that's too high and it's going to tell |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:25 | you specifically underneath in red you |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | may not go over like 340 you may not go |
| 00:04:25 | 00:04:27 | over like 240 |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | on this listing or whatever it |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:31 | specifically says right that's just |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:33 | specific rules that amazon has so you |
| 00:04:31 | 00:04:35 | can't price gouge customers um so if it |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:37 | does that doesn't always do that if it |
| 00:04:35 | 00:04:39 | does that then just come back and change |
| 00:04:37 | 00:04:40 | it and then resubmit it and you should |
| 00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | be fine okay and we already said what |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:46 | our minimum price is that's why i told |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:48 | you to do that before it's 45.99 |
| 00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | so we're going to put 45.99 into our |
| 00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | minimum price we're going to make sure |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:52 | that we select this right here and |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:54 | obviously you're going to do this for |
| 00:04:52 | 00:04:55 | every single product if you're doing it |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:57 | in bulk and you're adding them all in |
| 00:04:55 | 00:04:59 | bulk or if you're doing one by one it |
| 00:04:57 | 00:05:00 | makes it a lot easier you can just go |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:04 | back into that same roll right so you're |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:05 | going to pricing automate pricing you're |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:06 | going to find that rule you're going to |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:07 | see it's going to be the only rule set |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:08 | up and you're going to go over to the |
| 00:05:07 | 00:05:10 | right and click edit it instead of |
| 00:05:08 | 00:05:12 | actually add a new rule right you're |
| 00:05:10 | 00:05:13 | going to edit your current role and that |
| 00:05:12 | 00:05:14 | will allow you to take it will take you |
| 00:05:13 | 00:05:17 | right here to this menu right here where |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:19 | you can add more skus in from your |
| 00:05:17 | 00:05:20 | actual inventory okay and set your |
| 00:05:19 | 00:05:21 | minimum price that way okay and then |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:23 | right here you're either going to do |
| 00:05:21 | 00:05:24 | bulk action or you're just gonna |
| 00:05:23 | 00:05:25 | specifically come over here and take |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:27 | action if you're only doing one so if |
| 00:05:25 | 00:05:28 | you're only doing one right here well |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:30 | then you're gonna go test because that's |
| 00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | one that we set up right here uh it |
| 00:05:30 | 00:05:35 | wasn't um obviously normally i match buy |
| 00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | box but you can go test |
| 00:05:35 | 00:05:37 | or if you're doing bulk action same |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:39 | thing over here |
| 00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | you're gonna go test here because that's |
| 00:05:39 | 00:05:42 | what i named mine but you're probably |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | gonna say something like match buy box |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | price or something like that okay and |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:47 | that's it's literally that easy to set |
| 00:05:45 | 00:05:49 | up the repricer in amazon right you |
| 00:05:47 | 00:05:51 | still you set the rule right which i |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:52 | showed you how to do it's gonna take you |
| 00:05:51 | 00:05:54 | to your inventory page where it shows |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | you all your current inventory you're |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:57 | going to be able to select which ones |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | you want to set the rule up for and then |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | obviously you want to make sure that |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:01 | your minimum price your maximum price is |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:03 | set and then you're going to come over |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:06 | to bulk action or action specifically on |
| 00:06:03 | 00:06:07 | that listing and just hit match buy box |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | price with your specific rule that you |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:11 | set up and bam it's going to save it and |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | you should it should start automatikally |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:15 | repricing for you all right so in this |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | lecture i'm now going to show you how to |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:21 | actually have skew grid autumn and |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:23 | autumn excuse me automatikally manage |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:25 | your stok levels for you right so not |
| 00:06:23 | 00:06:26 | only will they they monitor the stok |
| 00:06:25 | 00:06:29 | levels on the websites that you input |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:32 | but they'll actually change your stok |
| 00:06:29 | 00:06:34 | levels to what you set in amazon so you |
| 00:06:32 | 00:06:36 | don't have to do this manually anymore |
| 00:06:34 | 00:06:37 | if you don't want to okay so what you |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | want to do is you'll see i actually |
| 00:06:37 | 00:06:40 | already have this in there but what you |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:41 | want to do is you want to connect the |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | new marketplace |
| 00:06:41 | 00:06:45 | okay and so what you're going to do here |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:47 | is you're going to choose the platform |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | and you're going to click amazon you're |
| 00:06:47 | 00:06:50 | also going to click where it actually is |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:53 | obviously for the majority of you that's |
| 00:06:50 | 00:06:54 | going to be the us um for me that's the |
| 00:06:53 | 00:06:56 | us right and then you're going to click |
| 00:06:54 | 00:06:58 | save all right now this is just an |
| 00:06:56 | 00:07:00 | actual you know test template i did it |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:02 | for the uk because i already connected |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:04 | um you know to my amazon seller account |
| 00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | in the us so i'm for an example going to |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:07 | show you the uk one even though i |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:08 | obviously can't connect to that right so |
| 00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | if you're in the us yours is going to |
| 00:07:08 | 00:07:12 | say amazon you know us right if you're |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | in the uk it's going to say amazon uk |
| 00:07:12 | 00:07:16 | etc etc okay and so what you want to do |
| 00:07:14 | 00:07:18 | then is you want to go ahead and you |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:19 | want to connect it well you connect your |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:21 | amazon seller account and you're going |
| 00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | to get it to connect via the api it'll |
| 00:07:21 | 00:07:25 | walk you through the entire thing it's |
| 00:07:23 | 00:07:26 | just like any of the other software's |
| 00:07:25 | 00:07:28 | all you need to do is you need to go |
| 00:07:26 | 00:07:29 | into the back end of your seller central |
| 00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | it'll show you how to do that you put in |
| 00:07:29 | 00:07:35 | their api key and then bam it basically |
| 00:07:32 | 00:07:37 | grants access for sku grid to access |
| 00:07:35 | 00:07:39 | your amazon seller account and change |
| 00:07:37 | 00:07:40 | your inventory levels okay so the next |
| 00:07:39 | 00:07:42 | thing that you want to do is you want to |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:45 | come down and you want to uh go down and |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:47 | you want to click show um extra |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:48 | marketplace settings all right |
| 00:07:47 | 00:07:50 | and so you want to set your default |
| 00:07:48 | 00:07:53 | quantity what basically that means is |
| 00:07:50 | 00:07:55 | every single time it changes your stok |
| 00:07:53 | 00:07:57 | levels from out of stok to in stok |
| 00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | what do you want that quantity to be now |
| 00:07:57 | 00:08:01 | i always usually go 15 to 20 here so you |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | can put 15 you could put 20. i think |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:04 | that that's a good kind of barometer to |
| 00:08:03 | 00:08:06 | set it at |
| 00:08:04 | 00:08:08 | because it's constantly going to be |
| 00:08:06 | 00:08:10 | resetting it back to that although if |
| 00:08:08 | 00:08:12 | you do have items that you know are |
| 00:08:10 | 00:08:13 | constantly moving very very quickly you |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:16 | might want to set it you know a lot |
| 00:08:13 | 00:08:18 | higher than that i would recommend and |
| 00:08:16 | 00:08:20 | this is just a recommendation don't go |
| 00:08:18 | 00:08:22 | too much higher than 15 to 20. the |
| 00:08:20 | 00:08:24 | reason i set it to 15 to 20 is because i |
| 00:08:22 | 00:08:26 | can always manually set it higher if i |
| 00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | decide to if i start to see a product |
| 00:08:26 | 00:08:30 | selling very very quickly right and one |
| 00:08:28 | 00:08:31 | of the worst things that can happen is |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:33 | let's say hypothetikally you have a |
| 00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | product that's moving in and out of |
| 00:08:33 | 00:08:37 | stok very very quickly right like very |
| 00:08:35 | 00:08:38 | very frequently for example for example |
| 00:08:37 | 00:08:40 | i used to sell cat food |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | and the cat food would go in and out of |
| 00:08:40 | 00:08:43 | stok all the time and so what would |
| 00:08:41 | 00:08:45 | happen is every once in a while i would |
| 00:08:43 | 00:08:47 | wake up to like 20 cat food orders and |
| 00:08:45 | 00:08:49 | then it would be out of stok on the |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:51 | website and i'd be out like i would |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:52 | literally have to make 20 cat orders for |
| 00:08:51 | 00:08:54 | an out of stok item and that's a |
| 00:08:52 | 00:08:56 | headache you don't want to be trying to |
| 00:08:54 | 00:08:57 | track down products on other websites it |
| 00:08:56 | 00:08:58 | adds more variables it adds more |
| 00:08:57 | 00:09:01 | headaches and it's the last thing that |
| 00:08:58 | 00:09:03 | you want to do so what i would say is |
| 00:09:01 | 00:09:05 | limit this to about 15 to 20. you can |
| 00:09:03 | 00:09:07 | always add more but you don't want to |
| 00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | get caught up in you know on times where |
| 00:09:07 | 00:09:10 | it's changing your stok levels |
| 00:09:08 | 00:09:11 | automatikally |
| 00:09:10 | 00:09:12 | when you're like sleeping or something |
| 00:09:11 | 00:09:14 | like that and then a product potentially |
| 00:09:12 | 00:09:16 | goes out of stok it's not going to |
| 00:09:14 | 00:09:17 | happen frequently it's only random |
| 00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | specific products but this is just a |
| 00:09:17 | 00:09:21 | recommendation i suggest you follow it |
| 00:09:20 | 00:09:23 | until you get more and more comfortable |
| 00:09:21 | 00:09:25 | and then you can change it in the future |
| 00:09:23 | 00:09:26 | alright so default quantity make it 15 |
| 00:09:25 | 00:09:29 | to 20 if you really want to go higher |
| 00:09:26 | 00:09:30 | than that you can but i don't recommend |
| 00:09:29 | 00:09:32 | that you do okay |
| 00:09:30 | 00:09:33 | now i don't focus on any of these things |
| 00:09:32 | 00:09:35 | right here the only thing that i did put |
| 00:09:33 | 00:09:38 | is you want to make sure that your auto |
| 00:09:35 | 00:09:40 | update stok is on so yes again we're |
| 00:09:38 | 00:09:41 | not focused on any of the repricing |
| 00:09:40 | 00:09:43 | we're not having sku good reprice our |
| 00:09:41 | 00:09:45 | things i told you you know and showed |
| 00:09:43 | 00:09:47 | you how to set up the repricing via |
| 00:09:45 | 00:09:50 | amazon it works totally fine you do not |
| 00:09:47 | 00:09:52 | need a repricer amazon works fine okay |
| 00:09:50 | 00:09:54 | so we're simply just using skugr to |
| 00:09:52 | 00:09:56 | monitor our stok levels and change our |
| 00:09:54 | 00:09:59 | stok okay so make sure again default |
| 00:09:56 | 00:10:02 | quantity have that set to 15 to 20. |
| 00:09:59 | 00:10:05 | usually 15 or 20 works works well auto |
| 00:10:02 | 00:10:07 | update stok you want yes right only put |
| 00:10:05 | 00:10:09 | items out of stok don't put them back |
| 00:10:07 | 00:10:10 | in stok you want that disabled right um |
| 00:10:09 | 00:10:12 | because |
| 00:10:10 | 00:10:13 | what you can do is you can go back and |
| 00:10:12 | 00:10:15 | manually change that and i'll show you |
| 00:10:13 | 00:10:17 | how to do that in a second for specific |
| 00:10:15 | 00:10:18 | products right you always want to put |
| 00:10:17 | 00:10:21 | your products back in stok and have so |
| 00:10:18 | 00:10:22 | good put sku grid put your items back in |
| 00:10:21 | 00:10:24 | stok when they come back in stok on |
| 00:10:22 | 00:10:26 | the website so make sure that this is |
| 00:10:24 | 00:10:27 | disabled auto update the price doesn't |
| 00:10:26 | 00:10:29 | really matter what you what you have |
| 00:10:27 | 00:10:30 | here i always click no because i don't |
| 00:10:29 | 00:10:32 | have them update the price but again |
| 00:10:30 | 00:10:34 | you're not going to be feeding this back |
| 00:10:32 | 00:10:35 | into it and you're not going to have any |
| 00:10:34 | 00:10:36 | information on price in there so it |
| 00:10:35 | 00:10:39 | really doesn't matter but just as a |
| 00:10:36 | 00:10:40 | safety precaution make sure that that's |
| 00:10:39 | 00:10:42 | a no okay |
| 00:10:40 | 00:10:43 | so i don't think there was anything else |
| 00:10:42 | 00:10:45 | that you really need to do here let me |
| 00:10:43 | 00:10:46 | just make sure default handling time so |
| 00:10:45 | 00:10:48 | you can also change your default |
| 00:10:46 | 00:10:50 | handling time if you want i always put |
| 00:10:48 | 00:10:52 | this at least i usually change it |
| 00:10:50 | 00:10:55 | specifically uh you know on each product |
| 00:10:52 | 00:10:57 | but i usually use that usually at least |
| 00:10:55 | 00:10:59 | put this to four days um it really isn't |
| 00:10:57 | 00:11:00 | gonna affect your your sales too too |
| 00:10:59 | 00:11:03 | much obviously if you're going up |
| 00:11:00 | 00:11:06 | against another seller that has similar |
| 00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | metrics than you um and has you know a |
| 00:11:06 | 00:11:09 | similar price than you and everything |
| 00:11:07 | 00:11:11 | like all all things equal and your |
| 00:11:09 | 00:11:12 | handling time is more than them then |
| 00:11:11 | 00:11:13 | they're going to get the buy box more |
| 00:11:12 | 00:11:15 | frequently but you still will get the |
| 00:11:13 | 00:11:16 | buy box right the reason you want to do |
| 00:11:15 | 00:11:18 | this is because one of the things that |
| 00:11:16 | 00:11:20 | can happen when you start scaling up a |
| 00:11:18 | 00:11:22 | drop shipping store very very quickly is |
| 00:11:20 | 00:11:24 | your your late shipment rate can go |
| 00:11:22 | 00:11:25 | through the roof very very fast okay and |
| 00:11:24 | 00:11:26 | so |
| 00:11:25 | 00:11:28 | you want to set this as high as |
| 00:11:26 | 00:11:31 | potentially possible i wouldn't go two |
| 00:11:28 | 00:11:33 | or three days even that's low yeah sure |
| 00:11:31 | 00:11:35 | most websites will ship them out within |
| 00:11:33 | 00:11:37 | two to three days obviously but some of |
| 00:11:35 | 00:11:39 | the websites and some of the obscure |
| 00:11:37 | 00:11:40 | suppliers that you might be using might |
| 00:11:39 | 00:11:41 | not ship them out that fast and you |
| 00:11:40 | 00:11:43 | don't want to get hit with a bunch of |
| 00:11:41 | 00:11:45 | orders in a row because all you need to |
| 00:11:43 | 00:11:47 | go over your late shipment rate is i |
| 00:11:45 | 00:11:48 | believe four or five percent or |
| 00:11:47 | 00:11:49 | something like that i think it's four |
| 00:11:48 | 00:11:51 | percent to go over your late shipment |
| 00:11:49 | 00:11:54 | rate so let's say you have a hundred |
| 00:11:51 | 00:11:56 | orders and 96 of them ship out perfectly |
| 00:11:54 | 00:11:58 | within like 10 minutes right even that |
| 00:11:56 | 00:12:00 | fast but then four of your orders don't |
| 00:11:58 | 00:12:02 | well then you're over your late you're |
| 00:12:00 | 00:12:04 | late shipping right so always have this |
| 00:12:02 | 00:12:06 | default a little bit higher yes you |
| 00:12:04 | 00:12:08 | might sacrifice a sale or two here and |
| 00:12:06 | 00:12:10 | there it's worth it i promise you all |
| 00:12:08 | 00:12:11 | right and then you can also have only |
| 00:12:10 | 00:12:13 | put the items in stok don't put them |
| 00:12:11 | 00:12:15 | out of stok you want that disabled as |
| 00:12:13 | 00:12:17 | well then save your settings all right |
| 00:12:15 | 00:12:19 | and that's basically how you set up up |
| 00:12:17 | 00:12:20 | sku grid and have it connect into the |
| 00:12:19 | 00:12:23 | back end of your seller central now |
| 00:12:20 | 00:12:24 | assuming that it is uh you know hooked |
| 00:12:23 | 00:12:25 | up to the back end of your seller |
| 00:12:24 | 00:12:28 | central the next thing that you want to |
| 00:12:25 | 00:12:30 | do is you either want to |
| 00:12:28 | 00:12:31 | uh enable sku grid when you're adding |
| 00:12:30 | 00:12:33 | products and i'll show you how to do |
| 00:12:31 | 00:12:35 | that here in a second or if you already |
| 00:12:33 | 00:12:36 | have products that are enabled what you |
| 00:12:35 | 00:12:38 | want to do is you want to come in and |
| 00:12:36 | 00:12:39 | you want to edit those products okay |
| 00:12:38 | 00:12:40 | and then you want to click this down |
| 00:12:39 | 00:12:42 | there should be a little thing here |
| 00:12:40 | 00:12:44 | that's like more information and if you |
| 00:12:42 | 00:12:46 | click that down you'll see all this |
| 00:12:44 | 00:12:47 | stuff right here unless it's already up |
| 00:12:46 | 00:12:49 | for you they change it you know when |
| 00:12:47 | 00:12:50 | they update the software here and there |
| 00:12:49 | 00:12:52 | but usually there's like a button if you |
| 00:12:50 | 00:12:55 | only have this top section that's like |
| 00:12:52 | 00:12:56 | uh add more information right or i i |
| 00:12:55 | 00:12:58 | have this listed already you might want |
| 00:12:56 | 00:13:00 | to click that right and then it'll come |
| 00:12:58 | 00:13:01 | down with this information right |
| 00:13:00 | 00:13:02 | and so you'll see the selling |
| 00:13:01 | 00:13:04 | marketplace is what you literally just |
| 00:13:02 | 00:13:06 | hooked up before right obviously this |
| 00:13:04 | 00:13:08 | was the test one that i just showed you |
| 00:13:06 | 00:13:10 | but mine actually is amazon usa so make |
| 00:13:08 | 00:13:11 | sure you have the marketplace selected |
| 00:13:10 | 00:13:14 | there then obviously you want to put |
| 00:13:11 | 00:13:16 | input the ace in okay and click i have |
| 00:13:14 | 00:13:18 | this item listed input the ace in input |
| 00:13:16 | 00:13:20 | the sku right here and then you can |
| 00:13:18 | 00:13:22 | update the item okay so there's three |
| 00:13:20 | 00:13:24 | things that you need that that skewer |
| 00:13:22 | 00:13:27 | needs so that it basically updates your |
| 00:13:24 | 00:13:28 | your stok levels for you okay it needs |
| 00:13:27 | 00:13:30 | the marketplace which you just set up |
| 00:13:28 | 00:13:31 | right once it's obviously set up then |
| 00:13:30 | 00:13:34 | you'll this you'll have this in your |
| 00:13:31 | 00:13:36 | drop down menu on each product you input |
| 00:13:34 | 00:13:38 | the asin again so it can identify that |
| 00:13:36 | 00:13:40 | product feed the ace and you also input |
| 00:13:38 | 00:13:42 | the sku for that product so can i get |
| 00:13:40 | 00:13:44 | identify that product uh on the sku and |
| 00:13:42 | 00:13:46 | obviously you can find this on the |
| 00:13:44 | 00:13:47 | actual product listing you can also find |
| 00:13:46 | 00:13:49 | this in the back end of your seller |
| 00:13:47 | 00:13:51 | central in your inventory or on the |
| 00:13:49 | 00:13:53 | specific product it's easy to find make |
| 00:13:51 | 00:13:54 | sure you have those three okay then |
| 00:13:53 | 00:13:56 | update the item |
| 00:13:54 | 00:13:58 | and then you should see |
| 00:13:56 | 00:14:01 | if we go back |
| 00:13:58 | 00:14:03 | you should see that item obviously is is |
| 00:14:01 | 00:14:04 | updating then right and so that's |
| 00:14:03 | 00:14:05 | basically how you do it the other way |
| 00:14:04 | 00:14:08 | that you can do it is when you add the |
| 00:14:05 | 00:14:09 | single item you'll see that before i |
| 00:14:08 | 00:14:11 | showed you just how to do it when you do |
| 00:14:09 | 00:14:13 | it manually you want to you know input |
| 00:14:11 | 00:14:15 | your reference id which usually is like |
| 00:14:13 | 00:14:16 | what the way that i set it up at least |
| 00:14:15 | 00:14:18 | is the website |
| 00:14:16 | 00:14:20 | dash the acen so i know and i can |
| 00:14:18 | 00:14:21 | reference it later if i want to search |
| 00:14:20 | 00:14:23 | things or something like that and then |
| 00:14:21 | 00:14:25 | obviously the supplier link what you can |
| 00:14:23 | 00:14:27 | do when you're adding products is if you |
| 00:14:25 | 00:14:29 | want to obviously do the same thing with |
| 00:14:27 | 00:14:31 | a reference id same thing with the plier |
| 00:14:29 | 00:14:33 | link that doesn't change you need those |
| 00:14:31 | 00:14:35 | but then you want to click more options |
| 00:14:33 | 00:14:37 | obviously you've input this right here |
| 00:14:35 | 00:14:38 | all right the reference id the supplier |
| 00:14:37 | 00:14:41 | link and then you want to click i have |
| 00:14:38 | 00:14:42 | this item listed okay and that's going |
| 00:14:41 | 00:14:44 | to bring down the drop down menu down |
| 00:14:42 | 00:14:45 | here okay and you can do this when |
| 00:14:44 | 00:14:47 | you're adding new products as well so |
| 00:14:45 | 00:14:49 | instead of saying do not update my item |
| 00:14:47 | 00:14:51 | you want to come down to the selling |
| 00:14:49 | 00:14:53 | marketplace that you obviously just |
| 00:14:51 | 00:14:55 | hooked up your your uh sku grid to right |
| 00:14:53 | 00:14:56 | when you just when i showed you how to |
| 00:14:55 | 00:14:59 | do it in the settings and hook it up to |
| 00:14:56 | 00:15:00 | your api with by putting in the key so |
| 00:14:59 | 00:15:02 | same thing right here just click on the |
| 00:15:00 | 00:15:04 | drop down menu and put your ace in down |
| 00:15:02 | 00:15:05 | here and put the skewer down here and |
| 00:15:04 | 00:15:07 | then right here you want to make sure |
| 00:15:05 | 00:15:09 | that pause is not on okay that's how |
| 00:15:07 | 00:15:11 | you're going to pause specific products |
| 00:15:09 | 00:15:12 | if you wanted to stop monitoring your |
| 00:15:11 | 00:15:14 | products i will show you that here in a |
| 00:15:12 | 00:15:15 | second all right and then you're going |
| 00:15:14 | 00:15:18 | to update the item right so again you |
| 00:15:15 | 00:15:20 | want to input the the website |
| 00:15:18 | 00:15:22 | you want to input the dash the acen you |
| 00:15:20 | 00:15:25 | want to input the suppliers link so it |
| 00:15:22 | 00:15:27 | knows what url to actually monitor right |
| 00:15:25 | 00:15:29 | and then you also want to input the the |
| 00:15:27 | 00:15:30 | um right here where it says the the |
| 00:15:29 | 00:15:31 | selling marketplace make sure you have |
| 00:15:30 | 00:15:34 | your marketplace selected and input the |
| 00:15:31 | 00:15:36 | asin as well as the sku update the item |
| 00:15:34 | 00:15:38 | all right now last thing in this lecture |
| 00:15:36 | 00:15:40 | is let's say hypothetikally you know for |
| 00:15:38 | 00:15:42 | the to go back to the same example as |
| 00:15:40 | 00:15:43 | before right |
| 00:15:42 | 00:15:45 | one of the examples that i used was i |
| 00:15:43 | 00:15:47 | used to sell cat food and that cat food |
| 00:15:45 | 00:15:49 | would go in and out of stok well once |
| 00:15:47 | 00:15:51 | you notike and you identify a problem |
| 00:15:49 | 00:15:52 | product like that because you don't want |
| 00:15:51 | 00:15:54 | to be dealing with problem with products |
| 00:15:52 | 00:15:56 | like that right and this obviously was a |
| 00:15:54 | 00:15:57 | product that would go in and out of |
| 00:15:56 | 00:15:59 | stok frequently during the holidays |
| 00:15:57 | 00:16:00 | which you'll start to notike during the |
| 00:15:59 | 00:16:03 | holidays happens a lot because stores |
| 00:16:00 | 00:16:05 | are struggling to keep products in stok |
| 00:16:03 | 00:16:07 | but if you happen to notike this outside |
| 00:16:05 | 00:16:08 | the holidays as well like you want to |
| 00:16:07 | 00:16:10 | avoid that product and you want to have |
| 00:16:08 | 00:16:12 | sku grid stop monitor monitoring that |
| 00:16:10 | 00:16:14 | product at least until it comes back in |
| 00:16:12 | 00:16:15 | stok you know on a more consistent |
| 00:16:14 | 00:16:18 | basis right because you don't want to |
| 00:16:15 | 00:16:19 | constantly be be playing games with that |
| 00:16:18 | 00:16:22 | trying to figure out where else to order |
| 00:16:19 | 00:16:24 | it from or waiting on ordering a product |
| 00:16:22 | 00:16:26 | you want it to be in stok when you get |
| 00:16:24 | 00:16:28 | the orders obviously even if that's |
| 00:16:26 | 00:16:30 | overnight right because skewers gonna be |
| 00:16:28 | 00:16:32 | monitoring it all the time so let's say |
| 00:16:30 | 00:16:34 | hypothetikally this was that that |
| 00:16:32 | 00:16:36 | product or you identified a product that |
| 00:16:34 | 00:16:38 | was constantly going into that stok and |
| 00:16:36 | 00:16:39 | you're like okay i don't want to turn |
| 00:16:38 | 00:16:40 | skewgrid off obviously on all my |
| 00:16:39 | 00:16:42 | products because it's helping and it's |
| 00:16:40 | 00:16:44 | getting me sales and it's monitoring my |
| 00:16:42 | 00:16:46 | stok levels and saving me a lot of time |
| 00:16:44 | 00:16:48 | but i do want to turn off a specific |
| 00:16:46 | 00:16:51 | product okay so then what you want to do |
| 00:16:48 | 00:16:53 | is you want to either search by using |
| 00:16:51 | 00:16:54 | like ctrl f if you're on pc |
| 00:16:53 | 00:16:56 | if you're on mac you just want to search |
| 00:16:54 | 00:16:57 | the screen in a certain way you can also |
| 00:16:56 | 00:16:59 | come over to the search bar and search |
| 00:16:57 | 00:17:01 | that way what i like to do is i'll |
| 00:16:59 | 00:17:03 | search the acen because i obviously uh |
| 00:17:01 | 00:17:06 | sort everything like i showed you how to |
| 00:17:03 | 00:17:08 | do with the website dash the acen so it |
| 00:17:06 | 00:17:10 | makes it really really easy that's why i |
| 00:17:08 | 00:17:12 | do it to search the asin if not you |
| 00:17:10 | 00:17:14 | could also obviously search the sku you |
| 00:17:12 | 00:17:16 | can search the item title as well but |
| 00:17:14 | 00:17:18 | once you find that item obviously on |
| 00:17:16 | 00:17:20 | skurid what you want to do is you want |
| 00:17:18 | 00:17:21 | to come over to edit |
| 00:17:20 | 00:17:23 | and then you're going to if you |
| 00:17:21 | 00:17:24 | obviously have everything monitoring |
| 00:17:23 | 00:17:27 | already you just simply want to scroll |
| 00:17:24 | 00:17:29 | down to where you see pause okay you see |
| 00:17:27 | 00:17:31 | this pause right here over here this |
| 00:17:29 | 00:17:33 | item is not paused right now but if i |
| 00:17:31 | 00:17:35 | wanted to pause it and i wanted to pause |
| 00:17:33 | 00:17:38 | it from checking the wet the website for |
| 00:17:35 | 00:17:40 | me and updating the the inventory |
| 00:17:38 | 00:17:43 | specifically on this product i would |
| 00:17:40 | 00:17:44 | click pause and pause checks and updates |
| 00:17:43 | 00:17:47 | and then i would update the item and |
| 00:17:44 | 00:17:48 | then you'll notike when you go back |
| 00:17:47 | 00:17:49 | obviously i don't want to do that right |
| 00:17:48 | 00:17:50 | now |
| 00:17:49 | 00:17:52 | but you'll notike that when you go back |
| 00:17:50 | 00:17:54 | it'll start to set there'll be a little |
| 00:17:52 | 00:17:56 | note over here that says this item is |
| 00:17:54 | 00:17:57 | paused it's not being checked okay and |
| 00:17:56 | 00:17:59 | if you ever want to come back in and |
| 00:17:57 | 00:18:01 | unpause that item because maybe the item |
| 00:17:59 | 00:18:03 | is in stok on that website more |
| 00:18:01 | 00:18:04 | consistently then you just do the same |
| 00:18:03 | 00:18:06 | exact thing right you come back into |
| 00:18:04 | 00:18:08 | edit on that product once you find it |
| 00:18:06 | 00:18:10 | you scroll down obviously this pause |
| 00:18:08 | 00:18:12 | right here will have it look like this |
| 00:18:10 | 00:18:13 | because you've already set it up and if |
| 00:18:12 | 00:18:15 | you want to turn it off you just click |
| 00:18:13 | 00:18:17 | no and then you re-update it okay so |
| 00:18:15 | 00:18:19 | that it's not paused all right and |
| 00:18:17 | 00:18:21 | that's basically everything that you |
| 00:18:19 | 00:18:23 | need to know that's how to have skewer |
| 00:18:21 | 00:18:25 | and monitor your stok levels and change |
| 00:18:23 | 00:18:27 | your stok levels on amazon |
| 00:18:25 | 00:18:29 | automatikally this is a game changer |
| 00:18:27 | 00:18:31 | it's going to save you so much time and |
| 00:18:29 | 00:18:34 | the software will do 100 percent of the |
| 00:18:31 | 00:18:34 | work for you |
