Matt has sold over $17 million as a top seller in one of the most competitive categories on Amazon.com. He knew how to start and grow a business. What he didn’t know was how to optimize his supply chain to maximize profits. After working with us Matt was able to increase his profit margins dramatically and save $100,000's per year in unnecessary costs.

How Matt Reduced His Inventory Costs From 25% To 18% Of Total Revenue

Hi there. My name's Matthew Hodge. I'm based in South Australia. I've been selling on Amazon since 2013 and as of early 2021, I've sold more than $17 million on Amazon. I engaged Daniel in 2018 to help streamline my supply chain in China. The whole process led to a deep transformation, not only in my business systems, but also my bottom line. At the time we had more than 150 SKU's where we're using a ground agent who acted as an intermediary between us and all of our factories in China. And Daniel's team were able to analyze bestselling products and conduct a thorough investigation where they were comparing sourcing options. Looking at similar factories, pricing, minimum order quantities, production, lead times, and so on. The investigation produced a report that showed we were paying slightly too much for inventory which I guess is known to happen when you've been with the same suppliers for a number of years, as we had and was also due to the fact that our ground agent was being paid on commission.

And so that meant that it wasn't really in her interest to be regularly renegotiating with the suppliers and bringing the cost down because it meant less money for her. But armed with the evidence that was in the report. I was able to get leverage in the relationship with her to compel her to see both the seriousness of the intent that we had to really take this on and drive these costs down but also the gravity of the situation. If in fact we were paying too much and it sort of had been happening under her watch. So that sort of spurred her to go on and visit a lot of the factories that were listed in the report as well as to go back and talk with existing factories as well. And even though in the end this endeavor did not lead to us switching existing suppliers or even ground agents.

What it did do was it led to an education and a deeper understanding in our existing supply chain. For instance, we learned that price is not everything and factories need to be compared on an apples for apples basis. And by that I mean you need to be looking at factory size professionalism scale, how long they've been established, their reputation and so on. Lower price really is not as important as a supplier who knows your product well and who's done right by you for a number of years. So that was really important to us. I also learned that you can negotiate with your suppliers but only if you're armed with great information. You can challenge them to value your business and not take it for granted. And you can use information like this to keep them on their toes and sort of keep them fighting for your business.

And so we did end up seeing some lower prices from our suppliers but more than that, we saw a greater commitment to a mutual relationship on their side which is worth a lot because that's what leads to Goodwill, which you need when things either go wrong or when you need favors like a rushed order through or you know, you need them to break down a whole container and relabel things on a public holiday, that sort of thing that does come up in this business and having that relationship really makes that difference. Finally, probably the most influential result we had was it led to reviewing our relationship with our ground agent. Now she was on 15% commission at the time which is not that high for a new seller, starting out, given how much they hold your hand and do everything for you in the early days.

But given that we'd been in business for a number of years by that stage it was too high and we'd never renegotiated. So at first we explored the option of actually bringing her services in-house to try to reduce the costs. But in the end, we realized that her knowledge of our business and our products and the supply chain as well as the demonstrated loyalty and commitment that she had shown to us over quite a few years was a true asset. That was worth something and shouldn't be discarded and that there were risks of discarding that as well. So we opted to renegotiate with her and were able to bring her down from 15% to 7%, which was massive. And if you don't ask, you don't get, so this whole sort of project lead us to have these conversations that we weren't prepared to have.

And weren't ready to have otherwise. All in all the decisions that we made from this exercise that started with Daniel's team led to our inventory costs coming down from 25% of our total revenue to just 18%. And when you're a multi-million dollar a year business, that is big, big dollars. It also meant that we deeply understood our own existing supply chain and it strengthened our relationships and our position with those suppliers. Finally, I just want to say that working with Daniel was a pleasure from the start which is not always the case in this business. He was a consummate professional. He was always responsive and committed to our cause, whether or not the decisions led to a bigger payday for him and his team. Yeah, I've got great trust in Daniel's knowledge of the Amazon business model. As well as in his integrity as an individual. Thanks.

Richard used to focus on too many things to grow his private label business, and as a result, he struggled to scale past a certain point. With the Apex system, Richard was able to automate and grow his 7-figure business while removing himself from the daily operations. This then enabled him to exit his business successfully.

How Richard Improved His Structure, Systems & Team To Exit At 7-Figures

Hi, this is Richard Turnbull here from the United Kingdom, formerly a 7-figure seller on Amazon. I say formerly because we exited our business at the end of 2021 with an Amazon aggregator. A big part of that is thank you to Daniel for the Apex system. Before the Apex course, we were trying to focus on too many things, trying to grow a Shopify channel, trying to do too many brands, trying to focus on too many products. And what I loved about going through the course is we were able to break it down into weekly chunks (it's quite a lot of information), so it's helpful to go through in a systemized way to use it to analyze different parts of our business, focusing on the 80/20 principle of what was working for us and what wasn't, which was great to shut down a lot of things so we could focus on what really mattered in our business. And also looking at systemization of things that we could scale and grow.

So after, after doing all of the course, we were able to make sure processes were in place. So when it did come to exit our business, the aggregators gave us a lot of compliments on the way our business was structured and it made the sale a lot easier. So I definitely recommend everyone to do the Apex course, particularly if you're thinking about exiting, cause what it does is it puts you in a good position to automate your business, to scale your business, to grow your business, to remove yourself from the daily operations. And that's exactly what we did. And we were able to make a successful exit and thank you to Daniel.

Apex Seller Testimonial From Richard Turnbull

Bill had been selling his own products on Amazon since 2014, but was finding it difficult to grow revenues. He was determined to scale his business further and was looking for legitimate ways to market his products better and increase sales. After investing in the program, Bill took massive action and grew his sales by 400% in less than 9 months.

How Bill Grew His Sales By 400% In 9 Months

Hi, my name's Bill and I live in Denver, Colorado. And I have been selling on Amazon since June of 2014 and at the beginning I had a lot of success. I was using a marketing program that showed me how to find products, how to market products and how to rank really high. And over the years, those same marketing programs have added, continually added clients and they're doing the exact same thing. So I was looking for a way that I could actually market the products that I have without using black hat strategies, without doing velocity spikes, without putting in fake reviews that, some of the sellers will do from time to time. About a year ago I was talking to Daniel and he said he had a new program he was creating, called Apex Seller and it was going to have legitimate ways to do marketing.

It sounded like something I was looking for. So I joined the program about nine months ago. And since that time, my sales have gone up 400%. I'm using legitimate techniques on how to market my products. I'm doing things that are not going to get me kicked out of Amazon, which a lot of those black hat strategies, when Amazon finds out you will be gone. And the wonderful thing about the Apex Seller program was I was looking for a marketing program. Well this isn't just a marketing program. Daniel has given you an insight into his years of building Amazon business. So it's not just about marketing, it's about actually building a legitimate brand and a big business that Daniel has built over the years. And so, you not only get into marketing, but you get into vendor management and you also get into your own management on how you can make yourself successful.

So this is a wonderful program. Daniel has been a wonderful mentor over the last nine months in this program and he's really helped out a lot. He really does have a concern about you as well, which is wonderful. He's just helped me so much and I can't thank him enough. So, I will say if you are looking to build a legitimate brand and make some extra money or maybe quit your day job, Apex Seller is a program you should really check out because it's all about selling products, building quality products, and creating a quality brand. And that is just wonderful. So I can't thank Daniel enough. And if you want to join the program, that would be great.

Apex Seller Review from Bill Feight

Ben hit a ceiling on the growth of his Amazon business. He realized that what got him to low 7-figures would not get him to mid / high 7-figures. The main thing Ben was lacking were clear, scalable systems and the ability to hire and manage a world-class team. With our help, Ben was able to break through the ceiling and scale quickly to mid 7-figures (and counting).

How Ben Was Able To Scale Quickly & Buy His Million Dollar Dream House

Hello, my name is Ben and I would like to take this chance to give Daniel a review for his Apex Seller course. I joined Apex Seller back in February of last year, February, 2020. And I found the course extremely, extremely helpful. I have been selling on Amazon for quite a while, and I had reached a stage where I've kind of hit a ceiling. That's why I joined the course. And I found that his method and strategies in the course have really helped me break past that ceiling. I found the week on pay-per-click and advertising very helpful. There's a systematic way that Daniel shows how to do your pay-per-click, how to capture more keywords and eventually capture more sales and build on your organic rank. And also the section on systems. With me, because I've been on Amazon quite a long time, my systems were quite floppy.

It wasn't exactly there. So after going through that module, I looked at my systems, I panned it out, laid it out, put it on the drawing board and built up the systems from there. Another part of the course that I absolutely like is the hiring part. I'm quite weak on hiring and I probably like a lot of you out there, probably like to do most of the things yourself. It's not really possible to scale to massive heights by doing that. I implemented what he taught on hiring and last year we hit the mid seven-figures in revenue. It was absolutely brilliant. We sold a lot of products. We ranked for a lot of products and sales are still coming in and it's getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And I would also like to mention that regarding Daniel's help, he does these twice weekly webinars where you can ask him questions and he's always there for you.

He's always there on the Facebook group and everything. So he can really, really help you. So if you do want to scale your business, Apex Seller and Daniel is a must. I can't recommend him enough. Daniel has actually asked me to give this review testimony quite a while ago. But I've been very busy and it's because I just bought my million pound house. It's not to brag. With his help and with Amazon, I believe anyone can do this. So I have been busy moving, the house is actually a five bedroom house and it's actually got five bathrooms upstairs as well. So all your dreams and reality can come true. So do take the course, follow what Daniel says. And you can't go wrong. Take care.

Troy used to feel chaotic and overworked in his business. He knew how to pick products, source them and generate sales on Amazon. What he didn’t know was how to turn this into a truly scalable business model that could run and grow without him. After implementing our systems, Troy has drastically reduced his task list and grown even further as a result.

How To Grow An 8-Figure Amazon Private Label Business

Hey, my name is Troy and I am from Washington in The USA. And before the Apex Seller program, we had a problem with continuing to scale. As I was frequently the bottleneck in my own business, I had numerous, numerous contractors and virtual assistants, but, all the problems sort of consistently had to pass through me. Despite the amount of encouragement I would give people and tell people to take responsibility and ownership of tasks. I wanted them to work autonomously and it just, it just wouldn't work. Everything kept passing through me. It was really slowing down progress.

So Daniel has a great way of managing through KPI's and operating businesses at scale. And after, after going through the Apex Seller system was able to effectively hire a COO, get them trained, introduced KPI's, and start following a much more systematic approach to running the business. And since then we've been able to grow frequently and my task list has drastically reduced and I can focus on working on my business rather than in my business. So I'd certainly recommend Apex Seller to anyone who is feeling chaotic and overworked in their business and knows that there's a better way out there and wants to figure out what that is.

Apex Seller Testimonial - Troy Remelski

David started selling on Amazon in 2014 and had massive success in 2016 and early 2017; turning over $2.5 Million USD with a good profit margin. But then things started to go wrong. He was determined to get back on his feet and joined Apex Seller in May, 2019. What stood out to David is how different the program is and that it teaches the 'missing links' for consistent, long-term success in a private label business on Amazon. David's investment into Apex Seller paid for itself many times over in just a few months.

Hi, my name is David Storey. I'm from The UK and I wanted to make a short video to tell you about the Apex Seller training program and why it's different from other packages out there. So I've been selling on Amazon since 2014 / 2015 and had massive success in 2016 and early 17. I think our turnover was about $2.5 Million with a good healthy profit margin. And in 2017, things started to go wrong for us. And it was a bit of a disaster really, the competition upped their game. We tried to expand too fast and didn't have the systems in place to support that level of expansion. And we had lots of quality problems and all these conspired to us losing money and in the next 12 months losing a lot of money.

And in 2018 we really just steadied the ship and started getting back on our feet. We knew we wanted to expand again in 2019 but we weren't quite sure how to do it, but we had some ideas on what we needed to do. And about that time, in 2019, we came across the Apex Seller training program by Daniel Audunsson and immediately connected with Daniel's ethos on how to run an Amazon business. And it is very different I can tell you from the other training packages out there. Daniel's level of detail and his business acumen that he puts into these training packages is far greater than programs that we've been in before. I think we've probably spent about $20,000 on various training programs and traveling cross to Vegas a couple of times. And Texas and Michigan, Barcelona to name a few, London.

And yeah these training packages are, they're good. The programs and the people that speak, yeah. They do teach you things on how to sell and make more money on Amazon, but everyone knows this stuff. It's just general information that everyone is using. So if it works, it's not going to work for very long. And that's what we found with Daniel's program, is the Apex program is so different in the fact that it's really teaching you some real business fundamentals and things that you should do that, you shouldn't really be doing on these other training courses. And we've had some immediate success straight away. We've done about three quarters of the program so far and already implemented quite a few things and the course has paid for itself a few times over already and that while we haven't really got products in stock with the new new processes. So if you're thinking about doing the Apex package and you're either new to Amazon, or you are like us, you're in Amazon and scratching your head a little bit on where to go next, I would advise you do it. It's absolutely fantastic and it will give you a strategic advantage across and over the competitors. And that's really what you want, really. So that's it. So thanks to Daniel.

APEX Testimonial from David Storey

Michael used to focus on building a “brand” with a huge audience. Michael knew how to source private label products and sell them on Amazon. What he didn’t know was how to structure his business and make it more effective, so he could get bigger results with less effort. After joining Apex Seller, Michael re-structured his business with proven systems and grew to $200,000 per month within 90 days!

$200,000 /month Within 90 Days Without an Audience, ManyChat or Shopify

Hey guys. So, where is this guy? This is the black forest behind me. This is, the remnants of a Roman emperors villa which has nothing to do, except of course we're building business empires, but I just happened to walk by here. So anyway, just for a couple of minutes, I want to take the time to talk a bit about why we bought into the Apex course or the Apex Seller, more precisely. Five years ago, we started selling on Amazon, mostly Germany, Europe anyway with more or less success. And at some point I realized my answers were not as good as they needed to be. The results were okay. And depending on who you compare it to even more than, okay, but we always compare to ourselves or inner monkey who says, you want to be more successful?

Do you want to do more? Do you want to be better, more effective be out of the business in the best sense, meaning working on the business instead of in it and doing the 80/20 things and all these buzzwords that we all know, but that seems so hard to actually achieve that state where all this happens. So I bought into the Apex Seller program and quick disclaimer, I'm only about four months in now, three, four months, but I'm already taking the time to record this video because it already made a tremendous difference. If I had to pick one sentence or put it into one sentence, I'd say it's peace of mind, which is invaluable. If we look at all the distractions that we're faced with each day, so this peace of mind comes from yeah, put them away. Anyway, this peace of mind comes from knowing what to do in what order from the systems and processes.

And for the first time we know not only the processes inside a working FBA business, but inside any business, really. So this is not so much about just learning how to succeed with Amazon. It's more about how to run a business properly on your terms. And that's huge. This is tremendous. And I'm seeing the change. We're doing test launches, we're doing smooth operations. We're documenting everything we do. We're eliminating things we don't need to do. We're a smaller team now with more efficient operations overall, I've seen my role in the business more clearly than before, simply by mapping it out by following what Daniel says. Biggest takeaway for me anyway was that, I don't have to build a brand which may sound strange to you at first, maybe, but it was something that got me stuck. I thought I had to build a huge brand with a huge audience following with all those things you can do.

But at the end of the day, we're selling on Amazon and this still is the best converting mechanism out there with all those credit cards people have in there. We all know it. And yet we're thinking, Oh, we have to become independent of this. Um, yeah, this is a topic for another day. Feel free to reach out if you want to have a chat about that, I'm open to discussing anyways, doesn't matter if you're in the calls or not, or in the program or not. But yeah, just let me know if I can have a little exchange with you anyway. So the Apex Seller is amazing because Daniel is amazing. He is very structured. He's genuinely the nicest person in the entire e-commerce space. And I mean that in the best possible sense. He is very skilled, knowledgeable and experienced. And most importantly, willing to share with you in a very, very structured way.

This will actually challenge your structure because I always thought I have structure. Then it turned out again, who you compare it to. And I had to learn a lot. I have challenged myself a lot. I still am same with the team. And to make it brief, we're all very, very grateful in case you have any questions, feel free to reach out. And if anybody asks me, what was the best business decision you've taken or the best action you've taken this year, it clearly is working with Daniel and implementing what he does. So it's about taking the action. I know you've heard this a million times. I have heard this a million times before, but now we know what action to take, how to take it. And in case there are any questions, Daniel is there to help. And he does it like no one I've worked with before. So yeah, hope that helps. If not, and if there are any follow-up questions, feel free to reach out.

James and his wife Sarah are 7-figure sellers on Amazon who started their business in 2016. They grew year-on-year but got to a point where growth started to slow and they were struggling to scale up. James and Sarah knew how to sell on Amazon. What they didn’t know was how to "professionalize" their business with systems and operations to take it to the next level of growth. James tells us that joining Apex Seller has been an absolute game-changer that’s fundamentally changed the way they approach their business.

How James Grows With Systems Instead Of "Hustle"

So my name's James Boyd. I'm from the UK. We've been selling on Amazon, both my wife and I since 2016 and we've grown year on year. However we got to a point where growth started to slow and we were struggling to scale up. And we're part of a mastermind group and a number of those people in that group had signed up to the Apex Seller and were raving about how amazing it was. So we set up a call with Daniel and he talked us through the course and why he thought it'd be beneficial to us. It was going to be our first course that we've used for Amazon. But we really wanted to professionalize our business, take it to that next level and particularly focus on PPC. And we signed up for the course in 2019, November, and it's been an absolute game changer.

It's fundamentally changed the way that we've approached our business, has changed our structure, changed our viewpoints, changed our mindsets, particularly on PPC, which is a big focus for us. And that's totally changed the game as well. It's still early days but we've absolutely noticed the difference with our business and we really feel like we can take it to that next level now. I couldn't recommend the training highly enough. It's absolutely fantastic, and if you really want to take your business to that next level, then this isn't just a course about Amazon it's really fundamentals of business, which is why we like it so much. It's not about shiny shiny toys. It's all about doing the basics and doing them really well and taking it to that next level. And Daniel is also fundamentally a really nice guy. He's always available if you've got any questions. Couldn't recommend it enough. Thanks.

Apex Seller Testimonial from James Boyd

Lee used to be involved in every single thing in his business. Lee knew how to sell on Amazon and he had been through plenty of “Amazon courses”. What he didn’t know was how to use systems and structure so he could focus on growing his business instead of being too busy operating it day-to-day.

How Lee Is Working Less At 7-Figures Than At 6-Figures

Hey, this is Lee from London in the UK. Just wanted to take a quick moment to share my experience with Daniel's Apex Seller course. So it really came at the perfect time for me personally. My Amazon business was growing but yet I was struggling to keep on top of a lot of things. I didn't have good systems in place, or had systems in place, but they weren't as good as they could have been. So everything felt like a bit of a juggling act, as I'm sure many people can sort of relate to when their business grows. So yeah, life was a bit hectic before. The course I have to say, it's very simple to follow. It's laid out in modules, each one with a clear structure and path forward. Daniel is obviously a highly, highly intelligent and knowledgeable guy.

He's got great experience in the Amazon space. So what he talks about is incredibly high level. It's not difficult as such, but the content he gives, it kind of transcends in a way, just the regular Amazon business and more like a life coach, a business coach, a mindset coach. So you're not just getting a standard kind of Amazon course with this. So yeah, you know, there's a lot of content to work through. To be honest, I'm still going through it months later, but it's a lot of it you can kind of come back to and sort of stop and figure out what you want to implement in your business at the time, and then when you're ready, move forward. So yeah, I can definitely say we've got better systems in place. I personally feel a lot more motivated and structured.

The course and through Daniel's help it's enabled me to hire several virtual assistants in areas that are definitely needed so that I could focus on other areas and not be involved in every single thing. So I can highly highly recommend it. Daniel's a great guy. I've known him on and off for a while, through various things. And he's definitely one of the most honest down to earth and helpful guys in the Amazon and business space you're bound to meet. So if you've got any doubts, don't have any, go for it. You won't look back.

Shane started his Amazon business with Daniel Audunsson's guidance after graduating college in 2017. Once he grew into mid 6-figures in 2019, he got increasingly frustrated because he wasn’t sure on the next steps and how to transition from being a solopreneur to building a team. The steps that got him to 6-figures weren’t getting him to 7-figures. After joining Apex Seller he quit his day job, started traveling the world with his girlfriend and started to scale into 7-figures.

How Shane Went From $0 To Multiple 6-Figures In 2 Years

Hello, my name is Shane and I'm from Dublin Ireland as you can probably tell. And shortly after finishing college in 2017 I started an Amazon business. I could see the great opportunity there and this year we're on track to do multiple six figures. But I was growing increasingly frustrated because I wasn't sure on the next steps and really making that transition from solopreneur to building a team. So earlier this year I reached out to Daniel and looking for his advice on this sort of move or transition. Luckily for me he was just in the process of creating Apex Seller. Now when he started rolling out this content, I knew it was exactly exactly what we needed and some of the things in it like strategy, like how to focus my time and really make the most out of my day as an entrepreneur, how to build a world class supply chain management systems to have consistent top quality products and really separate us from the competition and he even encouraged me to hire a supply chain manager... so it would free up my time and allow me to focus on expanding the business.

Probably most importantly is the systems and how to build systems and teams for scale and how it will enable us now to effectively scale into seven figures and beyond. So at the moment I'm actually in Bali, you can probably tell if you've been here before, it does familiar sounds in the background and with Amazon and having Apex, it's given me confidence to move effectively to Asia since June with my girlfriend. We've been places like Chiang Mai, Phuket, Bangkok and Bali. And if you have an opportunity to join Apex Seller, don't hesitate. You should really be working with Daniel because he's a top guy and you won't regret it. This is my current set up here. Now let's see. Let me see. I don't know if you can see that but anyway, join Apex Seller.

Meet Tom Nutter -- he and his brother Pete are 7-figure sellers on Amazon who started their business in 2015. For 3 years they had been trying to work themselves out of the day-to-day operations of their business. But no luck. They had set-up an office and hired staff to streamline operations. But getting this right turned out to be a big challenge. After joining Apex Seller they've finally been able to build a business that "runs and grows without them". This is a huge accomplishment. But that’s just the start of it… because they’ve also experienced astonishing improvements within the key functions of their business. In 2018 Tom estimates they lost close to $180,000 in revenue due to poor management of inventory and stock-outs. After joining Apex Seller their inventory planning is near-perfect and the COGS on their main product has gone down by more than 10% -- this means $10,000’s in extra cash for Tom and Pete. Before joining Apex Seller they were spending $10,500 per month on Amazon PPC. After adopting the Apex PPC systems their ad spend has gone down from $10,500 to $7,500 per month while their sales have actually GONE UP to $33,000 per month.

How Tom Grew His Amazon PPC Sales To $33,000 Per Month While REDUCING Ad Spend

Hey guys. I'm Tom Nutter. I've been selling on Amazon for five years and I've been part of the Apex course since September, 2019 so since staring the course, um, we've actually started to implement all of the systems we received. So we kind of came perfect timing for us as we just moved into a new office. Uh, we took on some full time staff rather than using virtual assistants and VA's and we really struggled with creating the processes and just monitoring really. So after doing the course, um, we received multiple different, you know, processes which we've implemented. So the first one would be the inventory planning, which we have never managed our inventory better, it's to the day. I mean, I wish I could show you the board, uh, behind, uh, that we use and that's integrated with the Apex system and we've almost timed our inventory perfect. Ever since starting the course.

So I mean, in 2018 we worked out, we lost, I think it was near to $180,000 in revenue due to poor management of inventory and stockouts. So this time we're actually, well since starting the course, we've had no stock outs. We're on top of inventory. We managed to beat Chinese new year. I'm hoping to beat the Coronavirus. Um, no one knows how long that's going to last, but I'm hoping we are well stocked enough to, to, to, but at least give us another four monts. Um, the way it's been managed and it's just so easy to, to outsource. So I've given this process to one of the girls in the office and she literally goes in every day, fills out the, sheet runs the forecast and lets me know when we need to reorder, when it would be estimated arrive at Amazon and everything in between.

So that would be the inventory planning system that we got. We also have, um, the, the probably the best, well the best order tracking system we've had in place since we started the business. Since October I think we've placed 11 orders. Um, so that would probably be five, 24 containers and five 44 containers, all of different products. And we've managed to really monitor where they are, where they're up to, you know, when they're due to arrive, everything to the, to the, to the, the day, really. Uh, so we were really on top of, of management of inventory at the moment. Um, the next thing I would say would be the PPC system that we got now. It would probably be better for me to bring in the girl that runs the PPC for us as I'll be honest, I don't, um, I don't have to pay too much attention what's going on.

Um, uh, at the actual product level, but she runs the system. So I basically gave her the week of the training to follow, just gave her the, uh, the videos. She sat and watched it for a week, started to learn the system, implementing it. And we've actually seen our spend come down from about ten and a half thousand USD per month down to anywhere between seven and eight thousand per month. Uh, but the interesting thing is our spend, our sales have actually increased. So our ad sales are well up. I think we're spending currently about about seven and a half thousand a month without looking and our sales have increased about $33,000 from ad spend. Um, so yeah, that's, that is just down to the Apex system and obviously the girl running the system. Um, but she's really on top of it. So that's another thing that's, you know, completely outsourced and allowed me to step away a little bit.

We, um, the, I mean the way I am working at the moment is I work every Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And what happens is through the Apex course we get the KPI tracker. So our main target is really net profit and then everything that leads up to net profit. So basically anything related to net profit we're tracking. And every Friday after the girls would run the system in the office, they run, I think about six systems every day. Oh, well throughout the week. Um, and on the Friday, the last task is to fill out the KPI tracker. So then what I do, I come down over the weekend, uh, take a look at the KPI sheet and from the key performance sheet, I can actually see, um, if there is any huge difference on the previous week cause they're running this every Friday, every seven days. So I can see basically the net profit, um, the star rating, stock out days, everything in between the ACoS, uh, as an overall.

And then what he can actually do is we can pinpoint at the product level. So for example, if I sign in to Drive, I see the KPI tracker and I see the net profit is down by say $500 for the week. I can actually scroll across, try and identify at the company level why there is a problem, where the problem is. So let's say for example, it's ACoS in this week. So the net profit $500 down, but I notice that the ACoS is up by say 4% for example. I can then go into the product level, at the product metric level and I can look at each product individually and pinpoint which products it is, that has seen an increase in ACoS. So then what I would do is I would create the Google Calendar, uh, work system over the weekend and pinpoint the exact places I want the girls to work on.

So then I will put, you know, PPC monitoring, bring the ACoS down for this week on these items or these products and actually list the products for them. And then the teams go away. They can just work on them products and say there's five products I know it's been an increase in ACoS, they will just concentrate on them five products. On the Friday the time comes again to fill out the KPI sheet, they fill it out. I come down on the Friday or Saturday over the weekend, check the KPI sheet and check them products so I can see exactly within the business if there's been an improvement or not. So instantly I sign in to see the net profit if it's up and also if something's gone right. I can then go back into the product metric uh product metrics and just check through just to make sure you know everything's right and if there's been a drop in any of our products or for example, um, I might notice that the unit sales are down on one product and the star rating has come down.

So now I can say to the team right this week, concentrate on the star rating let's bring that up. So it's actually freed me up from the business. Um, the everyday runnings, which I've been trying to do for about three years. So it's actually been a, a great course for us. In the past I've actually don't, I've done, I think about without naming them all, I've done about $30,000 worth of training courses and they're all pretty much the same. And this one is very different to everything else we've done. Act... yeah I think you'll find people who've have been to events, you'll know that you go to an event or you do some training and they'll say you need to do a, um, put a system in place an inventory management system. So you get your pen and paper out, you're ready and they go, yeah, because this will stop you from having stock-outs and then they move onto the next subject. They don't actually break it down of how to create the system, which is what the Apex course has done. Actually broke down the systems really well. Um, so yeah, I mean, that's what I've got to say about the Apex course. Uh, it's been great to me and yeah, um, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

Apex Seller Testimonial from Tom Nutter

Steven started selling on Amazon in 2015 and he’s been at 7-figures since 2017. But he just couldn’t break out of the ceiling to scale his business further. And the more he tried to expand, the more overworked he got and the more fires he had to put out. Sound familiar? Learn how Steven’s been able to systemize his business and gain the clarity & confidence to scale in 2020 and beyond.

How Steven Got The Clarity & Confidence To Scale His Business

Hey, this is Steven Winata from Arizona. I'm here to tell you about Daniel's program called Apex Seller. I've been selling on Amazon since 2015, for quite a few years and I reached seven figures for the past two years in revenue. And I've run my business in a way I was taught in a few courses that I have been through. And you probably knew these courses because they are well known, if I mentioned them. But they pretty much teach similar things about doing product research to launching on Amazon using the latest different marketing tricks. And before you know it, everybody will be doing the same thing and many sellers end up losing out because of the short-lived techniques and sudden competition. I've been fortunate enough to be able to keep my business afloat but I felt that I just couldn't break off out of the ceiling, to be able to scale my business.

And the more I tried to expand, the more overworked I was and there's more fire to put out. As well as the never ending cashflow challenge if you know what I'm talking about. So I heard about Daniel Audunsson quite a while ago. I know that he's been a wildly successful seller for many years. But what caught my attention was the things that he shared in his videos, talking about business fundamentals, which I think are very, very crucial and are rarely taught in many Amazon courses unfortunately. I immediately knew that I need to learn from Daniel. So I joined his program, it's called Apex Seller and the lessons that he teaches are eye-opening. It actually made me think like, hmm... I'd been quite ignorant in building my Amazon business. So Daniel teaches the real stuff about how to structure and build your business from the ground up and focus on building systems that will sustain your business for the long run, no matter how big you want to scale it.

So if you're trying to grow your Amazon private label business and finding it challenging, I really highly recommend you join Daniel's program. It will help you audit, correct and systemize your business in a way that will give you true freedom as well as the confidence that you'll be able to handle it as it scales. I just want to say thank you, Daniel, for creating a one of a kind program and I'm going to say that his commitment to helping his students succeed is incredible. And I'm so glad I found Apex Seller. Thanks.

Apex Seller Testimonial from Steven Winata

Tobias is a young entrepreneur who's had good success with Amazon FBA in Germany. But he became distracted and overwhelmed with all the marketing opportunities out there. After joining Apex Seller he learned what truly matters in a private label business. As a result he became focused. Now he's able to scale his business with clarity, simplicity and leverage.

How Tobias Went From Distraction & Overwhelm To Focus & Leverage

Hi, my name is Tobias Schabanowski and this is my review of the Apex Seller group. I'm coming from Germany. And before coming to this course I was completely distracted with all the marketing opportunities out there. I was completely blind. I did not know how to focus and what is important in my business, and what are the most important basic things in an Amazon FBA business. This is what I learned now as I've went half through the course. And this was really, really game changing because I was focusing completely on the wrong things. And yeah, I can just really recommend this course because nobody is telling you these things in all the conferences out there or at least in the conferences I went to here in Germany or the online courses I purchased. Nobody is even touching it.

Everybody is just talking about how to increase the sales through like social media or all the advertising possibilities out there and there's so much more in an Amazon business, which you can improve so much and which has such leverage for your business. It's amazing. And it was really an eye opener for me. And as I went through it I couldn't believe nobody's just talking about it. So I can completely recommend this course for you. It will really change your business and especially for the people which are starting with it or which are so new like I was to being an entrepreneur and starting with Amazon FBA. This is really, really helpful and will save you a lot of time, a lot of stress and a lot of money.

I think this is a nice insight into the course. This was my review. Bye bye.

APEX Testimonial from Tobias Schabanowski

Mo came to us in the early stages of his Amazon FBA journey. He had been through several training programs but was still lacking the level of detail and clarity necessary to move forward with confidence. After joining Apex Seller, he was able to identify and source a unique product - and start his business successfully.

By FAR The Best Program For Amazon Private Label

Hey guys, it's Mo Mullah here from London and I just want to very quickly give a testimonial to Daniel and his Apex Seller program. As one of his kind of earlier members, I found out about his program and really been building my business up since then. So I think for me before I found Daniel and the Apex program, I was very lost essentially. I didn't know where to go. I knew that I wanted an Amazon FBA business, but when you kind of put that into Google or you search it and you find all these kind of different so-called gurus, it's difficult to find out who actually is genuine and who's not. Now I stumbled across Daniel luckily, with a close business associate that introduced me and since we've kind of been introduced and he showed me about what it is that he's looking to achieve with his members, it's kind of just exploded.

So for me, working through the entire course and all the materials, it did take a long time, but I think I like to go through materials and really soak it in, understand it completely before I go into the next step. So I worked through literally every single step from the beginning from understanding what Amazon FBA is to really your mindset of how to set up and run a successful business all the way through different processes, different strategies and all the key components to make your Amazon FBA business stronger and last for longer. Now moving forward from there, I have picked my own products, I've sourced a very very unique product and I only kind of found that because I put it into a strategic framework that Daniel gave. And once it fed in through all the numbers and all the different properties, I realized whether it worked or not and it did take a little bit of time.

So I think if you're kind of on the sidelines and you're not sure whether this program is for you, I'd recommend that you take the plunge because I've kind of tried different Amazon FBA programs and this is BY FAR the best. It's got the most comprehensive content. It's got a really good mentor that understands and cares about our success. And everything's laid out in very clear strategic ways, which kind of makes it difficult not to achieve and get really good results. So, thanks Daniel. And I wish you the best of luck.

Apex Seller Testimonial from Mo Mullah

Hardeep had taken many courses and knew how to do keyword research, launch products, ManyChat and all sorts of marketing techniques. But something was still missing. Hardeep was making good revenue but his bottom line was just not where he wanted it to be. What he didn’t know was how to think clearly as the CEO of his business, strengthen the fundamentals and make the right decisions. After joining Apex Seller, Hardeep learned how to grow a healthy, profitable and predictable business.

How Hardeep Learned To Make Better Decisions In His Business

Hey guys, my name is Hardeep and I'm based out of Los Angeles, California. And I just wanted to take a minute here and share a little bit about my experience with Daniel's course Apex Seller. I've been selling for about eight, nine months when I joined the course. And I've been in the course for a couple of months now. I've been selling for a little over a year now. And when I joined the course I had taken a lot of different courses and for me, at least in my head I thought I know a lot technically. I mean, I know the basics of how to do keyword research, how to launch products, many chat and you know, all sorts of marketing techniques you can think of. I've taken a lot of different courses from a lot of good top experts.

But there still seems like something was missing. I was making good revenue but my net net bottom line was just not exactly where I wanted it to be. And I looked at Daniel's course and we had a good conversation early on, and immediately I knew that there was something different about his course. And it's not just a course, and it's not just about selling on Amazon, but just the way of thinking the thought process itself is so different. Daniel really has taught me some key concepts on how to just run a business and how to look for margins. We look for margins by increasing the price. We look for margins by trying to sell more. But that's not the only way you make money by cutting costs. You make money by sourcing from the right people, not necessarily by selling it to the customer, but by acquiring it at a lower price.

So we tend to look at the easy stuff and oversee or overlook rather some of the more intricacies. And I think just the way of thinking systemizing has really helped. He goes in great detail on how to hire the right people, how to systemize and how to focus your own time as the CEO of the company, which I think I was very hard to learn from anywhere else and PPC... He has a full on system and to be honest, I'm still going through some of the modules and testing them, it takes several months before you actually can digest and implement everything that he offers. There's just so much in the course. It's a small community of really high level sellers that are willing to help jump on problems when you post something, made some really good friends.

Daniel really cares about people, to a point where he would spend extra time talking to you on the side if need be. And there's a lot of weekly coaching calls and things like that going on. So I think from an accountability standpoint, from learning different things from building community, I've learned a lot. I made a great decision. I'm at a point where I'm looking very confident at exiting my brand in 9, 12 months, hoping to get to seven figures in the next 8 to 12 months, hopefully sooner. So I'm very excited and I thought you guys might want to hear my experience. And hopefully this helps. Thank you.

Apex Seller Testimonial - Hardeep Chiraya

Esteban has been selling on Amazon since 2014. Like many other seasoned sellers, his business grew quickly early on but then stagnated due to changes in the Amazon landscape. He joined my program to elevate his game and start growing again. This was a success. He and his business partner were able to improve in several key aspects of their business, such as Amazon PPC (ACoS has never been lower), sourcing and hiring / building a team.

Big Improvements In Several Key Aspects Of The Business

Hi, my name is Esteban and I live in New York. I've been an Amazon seller since November, 2014. Back then we were doing really well. We had a lot of reviews with the giveaways you could do before Amazon cracked down on those. When that stopped our business, stagnated a little bit. So recently we started Daniel's program and we're actually really happy with it. One of the great things, one of my favorite things about Daniel's program is the PPC management that he teaches. It's wonderful, our ACoS are about 14% now. So we're really happy with that.

Daniel's program is really different than a lot of other programs because he teaches you how to run a regular business. Not any loopholes or tricks, just how to actually set up a real asset for the future. There's a lot of other great things he teaches you about sourcing and things like that. So I would definitely recommend Daniel's program. Even for example, to grow your business like your VA's or your employees is also something Daniel teaches. So it's pretty much for any seller, if you're starting or if you're already seasoned, I would definitely recommend this program.

Apex Seller Testimonial from Esteban Araya

Brian started working with Daniel in late 2013 and took his business from zero sales to 6-figures in less than a year. But as a first-time entrepreneur he eventually started making all the classic mistakes such as with cashflow, operations and advertising. Soon enough his business went into decline. After re-connecting with Daniel in 2019, Brian has learned how to run a professional business operationally, strategically and on the marketing side. In Brian's own words: "I've learned not only how to grow sales, but how to really crush everything else that has to do with running a business."

Apex Seller Testimonial from Brian Silverman

Hi, this is Brian Silverman coming to you from New York. I first started working with Daniel back in late 2013 and he took me from zero sales to six figures in less than a year and I thought I was doing pretty great. Everything was going great in my business, but over time, since it's something I've never done before, which is run my own business, I realized that things weren't going as smoothly as they could have because I started to make all the classic mistakes of a first time entrepreneur, whether it was cashflow, operations, dialing in my advertising. To make a long story short, I was doing really great and then over the years my business deteriorated, which is a great segueway to telling you how I got back in touch with Daniel to talk to him about his APEX Seller training. When I was talking to Daniel on the phone, he totally undersold what his training was all about.

I already knew that he was successful with his Amazon business, but what I didn't know was everything that he'd been doing behind the scenes to get the business so successful, which is exactly what I've learned that he's sharing in this training. I know I was blown away and other people in the program have been blown away by everything that Daniel shares because he starts with the mindset and then how important that is along with time management and operations. And Daniel shared six, seven years worth of experience and he's got a ton of it and he's come up with amazing innovations on his own to run your business right. Not only with getting more sales, but just really crushing everything else that has to do with a business. He's brought a level of professionalism to how to run your business operationally, strategically, and the marketing side as well. If you're looking to take your business to the next level or get it to anywhere you want to be, Daniel can absolutely do that for you and help you with any questions you have, which is a testament to the time management that he teaches, because it's almost, you're in a program, but it's almost like he's your personal coach because he gets back to you with answers for your questions anytime you get stuck. I would 1000% recommend getting involved in Daniel's APEX Seller training. I hope this helps you.
