Highlight topics:

\\u201cSo how\\u2019d you get started?\\u201d The guest shares details regarding his first Yankee candle sales by FBM (Fulfilled by merchant). (Jim cautions sellers to avoid sourcing from close outs or liquidations as it\\u2019s a bit of a risky approach).

\\xa0

\\u201cFrom candles, what happened next?\\u201d The guest talks about how he is selling primarily topical clearance items but how they have morphed into replens and bundles! Jim also reminds listeners that if they do utilize leads lists, they should be utilized as a research tool and starting point to rabbit trail off of! (rather than just buying the exact products on the list!) Jim\\u2019s recommendations are to get off the beaten path, build relationships, take advantage of local resources and get your own list of ASINs! And remember that every good Replen ASIN is going to have a shelf life - which may be a few weeks or months but will eventually die off (temporarily or even permanently).

The guest quotes Inky Johnson, \\u201cLearn from the mistakes of others because you can\\u2019t make them all yourself!\\u201d Jim shares that this is essentially his definition of wisdom!

\\u201cOne more tip I wanted to share\\u2026\\u201d The guest gives a golden tip of how to route out your store stops using GPS and adding stops to be able to hit every place you need to go! Jim then discusses how to go about growing your business and that really starts with teaching someone else how to source and find Replens (before hiring someone to help prep).
