Amazon is usually admired for its massive scale, obsession with serving customers and founder Jeff Bezos’ relentless entrepreneurial spirit.

What doesn’t get discussed as often is the management principles and strategies that are the backbone of this organisation.  The tenets that provide the infrastructure on which the Amazon empire has been built. 

However Amazon’s management philosophy and organisational tactics and strategies played a critical role in getting Amazon to where it is today - and continue to be one of the keys to its ongoing success.

The company’s approach to everything from launching new businesses and benchmarking progress to fueling innovation is both awe inspiring -  and daunting! 

Few understand the inner workings of Amazon’s management principles better than John Rossman, a former Amazon executive who lead the development of the Amazon marketplace in its formative years.

He worked with Jeff Bezos and other senior members of the company’s leadership as they implemented management concepts and tactics that were at least as innovative and groundbreaking as the company’s business model itself.   

John understands Amazon’s unique business principles so well that he wrote a book about them.

Today John joins us here on A Seat at The Table to give us an insiders view of Amazon, and to discuss his new book “The Amazon Way”.

Before we get started, if you’re looking to develop knitwear collections that are bursting with creativity, then SPINEXPO is the place to go.  It’s the primary exhibition for yarns and knitwear.

The fair is a rich resource featuring well-edited, high quality collections, as well as cutting edge technical innovation. 

Not to mention outstanding  trend information that can not be found anywhere else.  You can learn more at www.spinexpo.com.  There’s also a link in the show notes.

Also checkout our website.  You can find all of the previous episodes of a Seat at The Table, the show notes, news about our upcoming Master Class series and lots of other useful information.  You can find it at www.seat.fm.

Now let’s sit down with John and learn about what Amazon does differently - and why it works.

Ten Business Growth Habits: Quarantine Edition

Here are 10 business growth habits you can implement immediately - regardless of your situation. These activities require a small investment of time and money and offer a huge return. Don't miss this episode of The Do This Sell More Show. Click the link to listen. 

1. Call A Client: Make a telephone call and connect with a client to thank him/her for working with you. Ask how he/she is doing. See how you can help, add value, or be of service.
2. Write a Note: Handwritten notes are important and valuable. They show gratitude but they also are great business development.
3. Interview an Influencer: Connect with someone in the community or industry and interview him or her for your podcast or video show. If you don't have one, start one.
4. Shoot a Video: You have a phone. Shoot a video on it. Shoot a "How to" video or a video testimonial for a product/person/service.
5. Post an Article: You write the way you think. Write an article today demonstrating your thinking on a subject of importance to you or your business.
6. Promote a Friend: Introduce one of your friends to your audience. Help him/her become successful. This will come back to you ten-fold.
7. Research a New Perspective Client: Do your research. Find a way to add value. Find the right person to speak with. Commit to relentlessly pursuing this person and company and making them a client.
8. Exercise: Get up and get moving. Sitting is the new smoking. It will kill you.
9. Make a Gratitude or Accomplishment List and review it every night before you go to sleep.
10. Invest in Personal Development: Listen to the Do This Sell More Show each day. Connect with me for coaching (786) 436-1986

The formula for successful marketing material is: educate, entertain, and inform.

Here are the definitions of each:

Educate

Share information in an organized way so it can be productively applied. The knowledge has practical application in the future. 

Entertain

Give people enjoyment as a result of consuming your marketing material.

Inform

Share information with people to keep them up-to-date.

The difference between educating and informing is: Educating is delivering instruction about the practical application of knowledge to achieve the desired outcome.

Informing is conveying information to a group or individual.

The key is to have all three of these elements work together toward the common goal. 

We give you the formula for doing this on today's show. Be sure to click the link and listen. 

You should never get into a fight with:
1). Clients
2). Prospects
3). Trolls on Social media

I like to be provocative. I tell stories that evoke emotion. Sometimes people agree with me, and sometimes they don't. I'm politically active. I am a fiscally conservative, socially progressive capitalist, and I can advocate for my positions while respecting your opinion. I enjoy debate, and I want to win you over to my way of thinking because I think it will be useful for you.

Notice the last part.

I want the best for you, and that's why I try to convince you to see my point of view.

I don't think you are stupid for having different beliefs than I hold. If I don't win you over to my point of view, I still want to be your friend.

That's what makes me great at sales.

I can respect you and your point of view without agreeing with it.

Here's something you MUST understand: Everyone thinks they are right.

That's an important point.

For a person to abandon one belief and adopt another, they need to make that change themselves. That means they need to FEEL something different and then support that feeling with LOGIC.

All you can do is present evidence - emotional and factual - and allow them to accept it, internalize it and make it their own.

This is why arguments don't work.

Bludgeoning someone with information and insults results in retrenchment, defensiveness, and resentment of you as the messenger. Social media has exacerbated this situation.

Each day I see people posting things they know will inflame others. At least once each week, someone comes into one of my social media accounts and insults me. In today's show, I tell a story of how someone threatened my family and me because of a political opinion I presented.

While I past the point of caring about unsolicited feedback years ago, I don't like threats, and I especially despise people who pass judgment without having a personal conversation. When you get into an online "argument," you display one side of your personality with zero context, and you open yourself up to being judged by people who might do business with you. Don't give them that opportunity.

Here's the bottom line:

Be opinionated. Share your opinion. But do it in person or in a direct telephone conversation. Don't start trouble online. It harms your brand. A third party - someone who doesn't know you - may judge you based upon that one interaction and without having the full context. And nothing positive will come from it.

Listen to today's show and share your thoughts with me. If you don't agree, try to win me over.
