Many companies wonder if it’s worth investing in Amazon training and sales consulting for the Amazon platform. This applies to every stage, from account setup through offer preparation to expansion into new markets or resolving issues with blocked accounts.
Amazon is a challenging marketplace. The account opening process alone can discourage many people, as seller verification is very detailed and it’s easy to submit incorrect information, which can result in significant delays in gaining platform access. Additionally, preparing an offer requires thorough familiarity with the requirements for such products and ensuring that even the origin of goods complies with Amazon’s policies.
There are also legal requirements in foreign markets that make selling in Germany or France subject to obligations that sellers must fulfill. Examples include the ElektroG, BatterieG, and LUCID registries in Germany (and elsewhere) along with the appropriate legal texts.
This means that a beginner seller could risk both account suspension and breaking the law in the country where they started selling.
The costs of consulting and training are disproportionately lower compared to potential losses from a long-term Amazon account suspension or penalties for breaking the law, especially in Germany. Through professional Amazon training and consulting, clients gain knowledge that often pays for itself within days, sometimes generating multiple returns.
Moreover, clients receive knowledge and acquire skills that save considerable time in daily Amazon operations. Of course, it’s important to verify who provides the training and consulting, whether they have experience selling on Amazon, how long, and in which industries.
Here are a few examples from recent months:
1. A client requested help with account unblocking
The account was blocked because the offer was prepared incorrectly for Amazon – customers had to inform the seller about their chosen variant after purchase. The listing was prepared by an agency that was just getting its first experience with Amazon.
Unfortunately, when the account was blocked, the seller was left alone with the problem, as the agency managing their Amazon account couldn’t help.
Fortunately, after several weeks of working with us and preparing action plans, the account was unblocked. The seller was also trained in Amazon marketplace sales, covering the most important aspects specific to their industry. In this case, we managed to solve the problem, and the client can now utilize Amazon’s potential.
2. A client received a training proposal
Unfortunately, they decided to proceed on their own without any preparation or experience with Amazon. This resulted in a serious account suspension – the reason being the sale of products with incorrectly documented supply chain, leading to suspicions of non-genuine products, plus incorrect company data entry. The client came to us with this problem, but in this case, additional serious negligence regarding both German market requirements and Amazon’s policies came to light, so we had to decline cooperation. The seller had very attractive inventory for the German market. In 4 months, due to account suspension, they sold nothing and probably won’t sell for a long time, while I can confidently estimate that with our training and consulting offer, costing around 6-10 thousand PLN net, their turnover during this time (about 4 months) would have reached about 30-40 thousand euros monthly, with a very good chance of growth over time and with range expansion.
Amazon launched in Poland in 2021. More and more Polish companies are starting to sell on this platform. Remember to prepare properly for this.
Good training or course in Amazon sales will also be useful when you delegate account and sales management to an agency with Amazon 365 service. Knowledge of Amazon’s platform rules will allow you to closely monitor the progress of the agency managing your Amazon account and will often protect you from negligence on your account.
