I always greatly enjoy time spent at trade shows, talking about business, e-commerce, and Amazon selling with brand executives.
In my conversations with brands, I hear some common misconceptions about selling on Amazon that come up again and again.
In this week’s podcast episode I clear up 10 misconceptions I frequently hear.
Answers to 10 Common Misconceptions Brands Have About Selling on Amazon
