Extreme Commerce

Jan 2022Mar 2022

Focused training in Amazon wholesale operations, supplier evaluation, product profitability, account analysis, inventory planning, and fulfilment through Amazon FBA.

What I Learned

  • Learned the fundamentals of the Amazon wholesale business model and how it differs from private label, retail arbitrage, and other marketplace models.
  • Studied methods for identifying brands, distributors, wholesalers, and potential supplier accounts.
  • Learned to evaluate product demand, pricing history, competition, estimated sales, Amazon fees, and expected profit margins.
  • Used marketplace research tools to review price stability, sales trends, offer counts, Buy Box behaviour, and potential product risks.
  • Developed an understanding of supplier communication, wholesale account applications, quotations, invoices, and minimum-order requirements.
  • Studied inventory planning, order quantities, lead times, stock movement, restocking, and cash-flow considerations.
  • Learned the basic operational process of preparing and sending products to Amazon fulfilment centres.
  • Studied SKU-level profitability, product-performance monitoring, and identifying underperforming or high-risk inventory.
  • Learned how structured reports can support supplier comparison, pricing decisions, inventory prioritisation, and restocking.
  • Applied analytical thinking to wholesale product selection and operational decision-making.
