Action Items

  • (as needed – All users): Confirm correct setup of Seller Amp, including home marketplace and cost/ROI preferences.
  • (as needed – All users): Configure Google Sheets integration for deal exports and test with sample headers.
  • (optional – All users): Review and refine field mappings in Google Sheets export to match business tracking needs.
  • (as needed – All users): Practice reading and interpreting Keeper price/rank charts for better historical product analysis.
  • (as needed – All users): Consider watching recommended Keeper training videos for expert-level chart reading.

Seller Amp Initial Setup and Configuration

  • Select your home marketplace (e.g., Amazon.com or applicable region).
  • Input accurate shipping costs per pound based on warehouse/provider advice.
  • Use Amazon-optimized splits for shipping, and set FBA as the default selling method unless otherwise needed.
  • If applicable, configure VAT settings (default to “not registered” unless VAT applies).
  • Set target ranges for BSR (e.g., top 2%), minimum profit (e.g., $2), and ROI (e.g., 25%) to enable visual deal assessment via color coding.
  • Input accurate prep fees and any additional costs specific to your operations.
  • Create and activate user-specific profiles if managing multiple team members.

Google Sheets Integration and Export Settings

  • Enable the Google Sheets panel within Seller Amp settings to automate data entry for deals analyzed.
  • Connect to a new or existing Google Sheet, specifying sheet ID and tab preferences.
  • Map required fields for export (suggested: export date, product name/ASIN/category, cost price, sale price, source URL, ROI, break-even, sales rank, prep/inbound fees, barcode, Amazon URL, and profit).
  • Test export and header writing feature to ensure the sheet is ready for deal tracking.
  • Use export feature after analyzing a product so data is automatically saved and accessible for purchasing and review.

Key Seller Amp Features and Deal Analysis Process

  • Use the main Seller Amp window overlay to view product data, ratings, eligibility, and quick navigation tabs.
  • Verify eligibility to sell, check for alerts (hazmat, dangerous goods, private label, etc.), and ensure no critical red flags.
  • Assess estimated monthly sales, profit, ROI, and “max cost” for target margin at a glance.
  • Use in-tool calculator for discounts, price adjustments, and “what-if” scenarios.
  • Review competitor offers, stock levels, and fulfillment methods to assess listing competitiveness.
  • Use historical price/sales charts (Keeper integration) for insight into price stability, sales velocity, and seller count trends.
  • Reference the “ranks and prices” breakout table to quickly apply average or historical buy box prices to profit analysis.
  • Drill down into profit breakdown, including all fees and cost factors for accurate margin assessment.
  • Export results and log notes/URLs for sourcing history, including discount codes, supplier links, and relevant comments.

Step-by-Step Analysis Flow Example

  • Begin with a blank cost price, confirm eligibility and alert status.
  • Check the max cost versus sourcing price—adjust for discounts if available.
  • Enter the actual cost, validate profit/ROI, and compare sale price to both current and historical averages.
  • Review the number and quality of other sellers, Amazon presence, and their stock/review level.
  • Assess historical minimum pricing to simulate “worst-case” profitability.
  • If satisfied, document the supplier/source URL, save notes, and export to Google Sheets for tracking.

Decisions

  • Prioritize analysis using max cost and estimated sales/ROI before drilling into deeper metrics — Ensures efficient product sourcing and reduces time spent on non-viable listings.
  • Avoid listings where Amazon is a seller or sole/private label seller dominates — Decreases risk of low buy box share and uncompetitive sales velocity.

Open Questions / Follow-Ups

  • Are there additional recommended field mappings or custom columns for specific business models not covered in this session?
  • Should new Seller Amp users be assigned a checklist for initial setup and quality control to minimize errors?
  • Is there a preferred process for updating user profiles or sharing best practices among new team members?
