    Welcome to the latest episode of Selling on Giants! In today’s episode, we’re tackling a critical topic for eCommerce brands as we head into Q1: How to Transition to a New 3PL Without Losing Momentum. Joining me is Rachel Go, Marketing Director at MyFBAPrep, a leading eCommerce warehouse network trusted by top Amazon sellers and enterprise brands.

    Rachel’s insights will help you navigate the challenges of switching 3PLs, avoid costly mistakes, and set your logistics up for success in 2025. Whether you're scaling operations, optimizing your supply chain, or just thinking ahead for the new year, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

    Key Takeaways – How to Transition to a New 3PL Without Losing Momentum with Rachel Go

    First – Q1 is Prime Time for Switching 3PLs.
    The stress test of Q4 exposes weaknesses in your supply chain. Rachel explained why Q1 is the ideal time to evaluate your logistics partners, make a switch, and ensure your systems are ready to handle the rest of the year.

    Next Transparency and Communication are Non-Negotiable.
    One of the most common frustrations Rachel hears from brands is unclear invoicing and a lack of communication. If you don’t know exactly what you're being billed for or who to contact when things go wrong, that’s a major red flag. A good 3PL makes pricing easy to understand and keeps you in the loop – sometimes even at the co-founder level, like MyFBAPrep does.

    One of the biggest takeaways – Redundancy is Key.
    Rachel stressed the importance of creating redundancy in your supply chain – whether that means using multiple 3PLs, mixing FBA and FBM, or running your own warehouse alongside a partner. If one channel goes down, the other can keep you running.

    Lastly – Let’s Talk About Messy Prep.
    MyFBAPrep’s is willing to handle “ugly prep” – those chaotic shipments with mixed SKUs or last-minute bundles. Many 3PLs shy away from this kind of work, but for MyFBAPrep, it’s part of the job.

    So, if you’re feeling the strain of your current logistics setup, or just want to be better prepared for the year ahead, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Selling on Giants, we dive deep into Amazon data analytics with Sreenath Reddy, CEO of Intentwise.

From evolving data insights to leveraging AI, this episode is full of practical strategies for sellers. Get ready to take your Amazon business to the next level!

    Key Takeaways:

    1️⃣ Define Key Business Questions for Data
    Before diving into Amazon’s data, it’s essential for brands to clearly define what they want to achieve. This means identifying the critical business questions your data should answer, such as tracking profitability or understanding shifts in customer behavior. By narrowing the focus to what truly impacts your growth, brands can cut through the noise and gain actionable insights. This sharp focus is the foundation for making smarter decisions that align with both short-term and long-term business goals.

    2️⃣ Leverage Retail and Advertising Data for Full Performance Insights
    Amazon provides sellers with two key types of data: advertising and retail. Combining these data sets gives a comprehensive view of product performance. For example, reviewing ad spend alongside inventory levels helps brands optimize their campaigns without running out of stock. This holistic approach allows sellers to adjust their strategies in real-time, ensuring they’re investing in the right areas and improving overall efficiency. Sellers who master this combination will gain a competitive advantage by making decisions based on a full picture of their product’s journey.

    3️⃣ Use AI to Analyze Customer Feedback and Market Trends
    The growing role of AI in eCommerce cannot be overstated. Sreenath emphasizes the power of AI to analyze unstructured data, such as customer reviews, to reveal deeper insights into purchasing trends and preferences. AI-driven analysis helps brands identify shifts in customer sentiment, uncover new marketing opportunities, and fine-tune product offerings. By leveraging AI, brands can stay ahead of evolving consumer needs and continuously refine their strategies to stay competitive.
