FAQs
Is mentoring the right thing for me now?
That depends! Coaching and Mentoring should help anyone with some initiative, focus and energy to double or triple their initial investment in coaching.
However, this programme is not for serial seminar attenders or shiny object chasers! (Don’t feel too bad if you recognise yourself here, that was me for years…) It’s for those who are motivated action takers. I’ll need a little detail to know if that’s you. Hence the application-only process.
Do you work with pre-revenue business owners? (those with no sales yet)
Well, I sometimes do. But I will only take you on if I believe you can get a good ROI on our work.
As such I'll need to see:
- Enough money to start a private Label business (so at least £4,000/$5,000 for inventory* as a minimum PLUS £100/$130 a month for overheads)
- Enough time to devote to it (minimum 15 hours a week)
- Willingness to devote a MINIMUM of a few months to the business model.
*if you are able to invest say £500/$700 a month into your business from the day job or other business for a year, this would count towards this figure.
As long it seems like a good fit (you’ll need to fill in a short questionnaire and have a short phone call with me to check that before we would work together), and I believe I can at least double your ROI in coaching, I’ll consider you.
The intensive (4 hour a month) programme includes FREE access to the Private Label Process course for a year (ie you still get access to the course even if we stop doing mentoring programme).
Do you work with established businesses ( 6 or 7 figures a year)
I definitely do.
Frankly if you've already got to this level with custom products or private label work, then you're probably better off in the 10K Collective Mastermind.
But if you have been solely focussed on wholesale sourcing or another form of reselling, -and you're now wanting to add/transition into developing and sourcing private label or custom products - we can do some excellent work together.
The areas I can really help you with -
(and which you'll need to add to your skillset to take your business forward into PL/custom products)- will include:
- Deep-Dive Customer Avatar research to really get the edge on the competition
- Product Development to create products that stand out and get the click and the sale
- Sourcing overseas (especially China) for highest quality and max profit
- Superb Amazon Product Listing creation for maximum conversion and max profits
- Amazon Launch strategy to really rank for your most important keywords
As long it seems like a good fit (you’ll need to fill in a short questionnaire and have a short phone call with me to check that before we would work together), and I believe I can at least double your ROI in coaching, I’ll welcome you into the programme
The intensive (4 hour a month) programme includes FREE access to the Private Label Process course for a year (ie you still get access to the course even if we stop doing mentoring programme).
Will you work with just anyone?
No. I don’t want to take your money if I don’t believe I can help you. If you have a shoestring budget, please spend it on stock – as long as you make use of the free training available to you (such as…on this website! and the podcast).
How many people do you mentor at one time?
Generally I have a handful of mentoring clients at any given time. Now I’ve got the mentoring processes more organised, I’m willing to have a maximum of 10 mentees at any one time. This is a maximum, but only for the right people!
Will this course show all the ways to choose the products from the bottom up?
Absolutely. While those who have already sold retail arbitrage or wholesale via Amazon will still get a lot out of it, we started with the assumption that you have zero experience of online sales.
We cover everything, including how to get the products (sourcing); the intricacies of Amazon labelling.
How does mentoring relate to the Private Label Course?
Is the mentorship an upgraded form of the course? (with a similar structure but more personally tailored instructions/information than the course)
Yes and no. On the one hand, the course really codifies a lot of the work I’ve done with mentoring clients over the past two plus years. So if you’re starting from scratch, we will use the course as the back-bone of our work together. But there is always a need to refine what we do to your exact situation and to make the most of your unique strengths.
If you’ve already passed the basics stage and have turnover, we will deal with your situation as you need it.
If I’m not ready to work with you yet, can I apply in a few months’ time?
By all means, wait if you feel it’s right for you – just know that over time, I have continued to increase the price of the mentoring programme.
So it is likely that I will continue to raise the prices in line with continued demand and the value I put on my time.
That’s simply because it is very time intensive and not scalable.
Do what is right for you in your business now. If you need to wait a few months and spend your money on inventory instead, by all means do what you need to do.
Do I have to sign up for several months?
There is no minimum time requirement. All of the programmes work on a simple monthly rolling agreement and subscription, which you can cancel at any time if you need (although I recommend strongly that you commit for a minimum of 3 months to really move the needle on your business goals).
