A high level overview of what your next steps will look like starting your eCommerce Journey with us.
This is a sample onboarding plan to help you understand what you can expect our team to help you get your store started and launched. By working with your client success manager, we’ll be able to help guide you if there are specific items you need to get started with the platform. Typically we see our clients get set up with their accounts ready to go in the first 30 days, but on average across all our accounts we see accounts ready to go within 4-6 weeks.
In this sample plan we’ll show you what the main objectives are as soon as you get started.
During onboarding, you’ll work with your own dedicated Client Success Manager to understand your current needs for platform prerequisites, your intermediate and long term goals. They will act as a project manager to hold you and the team accountable to achieving your objectives and offer guidance through our program at Automated Retail Commerce.
Legal & Accounts
Legal and Account Set Up
To set you up for Amazon seller success, we’ll start your journey on gathering the proper documentation required in order to submit documentation to the platform. Amazon is a big platform with requirements to ensure it’s allowing only legitimate sellers onboard, so the set up process is key for the health of your account. Along with helping you prepare for submissions to the platform, we’ll guide you with setup tasks including:
• Welcome Call
• Digital asset compilation
• Email account creation
• Account submission
Getting Started
Account Ready to Go
Once you’re approved with Amazon, the first 3-4 months we want to focus on building a great reputation in Amazon with your seller account. To do so we’ll start working behind the scenes of gathering and completing the following for your store:
• Authorization to sell products
• Purchasing low quantities of products to sell
• Listing those products on your store
• Handling the order fulfillment
• Maintaining strong and healthy seller metrics
It’s expected to have low revenues during this time in order to ensure that you build trust with the platform.
Optimization
Completed Probationary Period
Once you’ve completed the probationary period, with products ungated, authorizations in hand, and inventory capital available, we’ll in continue our processes of
• Purchasing more inventory
• Handling order logistics and fulfillment
• Handling customer service inquiries
• Provide seller dashboard to see reporting
• Continue to communicate around budgets, store status and adapt as needed.
At this phase we are focused on optimizing store purchasing, profitability and maintain great seller metrics. At this stage, communication is very key. If at any time there’s budgetary or platform hiccups, our team will work with you to determine next steps. Whether we’re slowing down the rate of inventory purchasing or gathering documentation for Amazon, we’ll guide you step by step and proceed with services according to the adjustments needed.
Milestones
Revenue Milestones
As services continue, with capital float requirements intact, as we continue to sell products on your behalf, we’ll celebrate milestones accomplished with your own Amazon seller account!
