And while it may be cost-effective to do your own bookkeeping, not having thorough accounting knowledge could cause your company to lose money. So how can entrepreneurs manage their company’s finances like an accounting professional? Regardless of the method used to log company spending, business owners should habitually review their financial records on a monthly basis. This allows for monthly comparisons and identifying areas where additional spending or cuts may be beneficial. Jason Snider, a certified accountant, recommends using a reliable accounting system such as A2X to accurately track the cost of goods and other data input. Another method for properly managing company funds is implementing a Profit First system. This accounting strategy aims to help small businesses improve their cash flow and profitability by setting aside a percentage of revenue as profit before paying expenses.

Mike McClary is Co-creator of Amazing.com’s Amazing Selling Machine, which aids thousands of entrepreneurs in establishing lucrative businesses by selling products on Amazon. As an accomplished e-commerce seller, he’s sold millions of dollars worth of products on Amazon via multiple established companies. Mike is dedicated to teaching entrepreneurs how to build successful e-commerce businesses using the tools available through ASM. In this episode… Higher conversion rates indicate more people are buying from your store, increasing sales and revenue. It also means that your product listing is well-optimized and can effectively compete in the marketplace. So what are some impactful strategies to escalate sales conversions? If you want to 10X your sales, Mike McClary shares his conversion bomb, a secret weapon he developed to optimize product listings. To do this, you must set up processes to manipulate Amazon’s algorithm that suggests continuous sales. Mike advocates setting up strikethrough pricing, which is selling products at a higher list price by attaching a coupon or Prime-exclusive discount to the price. This is effective because the coupons do not factor into the original price. Another way to influence the algorithm is by adding numerous converting badges to the list price, such as coupons and money-off promotions. This conversion bomb will inflate your conversion rates, increase the number of units sold per transaction, and boost product rankings. Join Josh Hadley in this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, where he sits down with Mike McClary, CEO of Amazing.com, to explore e-commerce diversification and Amazon advertising. Mike discusses the evolution of Amazon, shares seller-growth tactics to help entrepreneurs exceed seven figures, and details his conversion bomb strategy.
