how are you my friend I hope your day is going well it's you ping here thank you
[4]
for checking in with me today is a video that you must watch it's one of the
[10]
essential videos that you need to watch to run your business successfully
[16]
because it has 100% to do with your money so let's get started ok my friend
[32]
once you kick start your business especially after you start to sell your
[37]
product so successfully you will quickly realize that you will need a continued
[42]
cash flow to sustain your sales so on one side you will have the cash inflow
[48]
coming either from Amazon or your own website on the other side you will have
[53]
the cash outflow to pay out either the product or service providers since you
[60]
decide how much you're gonna sell and I teach you the sourcing side of the
[64]
business I'll explain the two most important
[68]
factors that you need to understand how these two factors are going to determine
[75]
your cash outflow on the sourcing side the two most important factors in
[81]
determining your cash outflow one is the lead time another is the payment term
[87]
these two are a pair Lee time and a payment term we cannot talk cash outflow
[95]
without talking the Lee time and payment term together so let's elaborate a
[100]
little bit okay let's talk about the lead time first lead time should be
[104]
given with a nickname called dead time why is that because this lead time is
[111]
the period of a waiting time from the moment you place your purchase water
[116]
here to the time where the product is available for you to sell and convert
[123]
this product to cash this period of time nothing could happen but wait so
[129]
literally it's a dead time especially when you prepaid for your
[134]
product nothing is happening to your cash so if you are in the training
[139]
course especially if you have a watched the inventory planning module this
[144]
should be a no-brainer to you you should really understand the killing effect of
[149]
the long lead time why I am saying that the longley time has the killing effect
[156]
it's because not only you have all these cash tied up in this waiting period
[162]
there's nothing you can do about it but wait but also the longer you have to
[168]
wait the more likely you are going to be wrong with your inventory forecast one
[174]
is that during this long time of waiting you run out of stock now you are
[180]
panicked you need to estimate the icepad idea product either air frayed or you're
[185]
anxious pushing your suppliers to finish the product finish the production sooner
[189]
as soon as possible I'm out of stock my PSR is dropping I need to backfill my
[195]
product please PLEASE rush the production help me finish the production
[199]
sooner that is the anxiety you you have to go through because you're running out
[204]
of stock and you have no choice but to wait for this long period of time that's
[210]
one side of the risk of having long lead time the other side of the risk you
[215]
being wrong it's because you know you're gonna wait for a long period of time and
[220]
you over predicted how many you're gonna sell what end up happening is once you
[227]
receive the shipment finally you realize that you have too many in stock
[232]
eventually you may end up having to pay to Amazon for long-term storage fee or
[239]
whatever warehouse you're using you see the killing effect if the long lead time
[245]
is not only you have all these cash tied up but also the risk of running either
[250]
out of stock or ordered too many that is the lead time plane into how much cash
[257]
you're going to burn now you understand the one factor lead time and how much it
[263]
plays into your cash situation the second factor is
[267]
the payment term what does payment term has anything to
[270]
do with your cash you guessed it the exact opposite the longer of the payment
[277]
term you can get from your suppliers the more cash you can save because you can
[284]
delay your payment let's say if the supplier Lita Mae is one day and the
[290]
payment day to payment term is 30 days now you can literally use other people's
[296]
money to run your business because they can produce it in one day you can sell
[301]
it in a day or two or a week and you don't even have to pay the supplier in
[306]
30 days all of the sudden it's free money for you to run your business the
[312]
business reality for most Amazon FBA sellers is this the time side we're
[317]
talking about a seventy five to ninety days from the day you'll place your
[321]
purchase order to the day where amazon receive your product it takes at least a
[326]
75 to 90 days assuming your ocean freight your product not air frating
[332]
because it takes 30 days to produce 30 days to ship and a couple weeks in
[338]
between to handling your shipment or receiving your shipment on the payment
[343]
term side we're normally talking about 30 percent down payment
[349]
70% paid to the supplier when you take your shipment we're talking about
[355]
significantly cash done to carry this infantry from the time you place the
[361]
order to the time where you can sell your product so the lee time and a
[366]
payment term are the two most important factors in terms of your cash flow
[373]
impact i want you to understand the relationship of these two factors so you
[378]
can focus on negotiating a better lee time a better payment term to improve
[386]
the health of your business if you wanted to learn how to negotiate a
[392]
better payment terms and potentially reduce lead time so
